    Physics isn't your strong point is it? :lol: Well, neither is reading comprehension since you seem to think you can substitute a cannon ball in place of a bullet to bolster your argument. :patsch

    Mass being equal, speed means more energy in this example. Yes, the cannon ball would crush your chest but you have to read even more into the original. At one mile an hour you would have to be against an immovable object for the cannon ball to crush your chest. Not so for the bullet at 200 MPH to penetrate your chest. See the difference?

    Speed. Boxing after all is about hitting and not getting hit. I think timing and stamina are more important than either tho. You'll last the distance and slower fighters have beaten fighters with with greater speed or power.

    In the chicken launcher scenario, thawed chickens are launched at around 200mph. A bullet on the other hand travels around 1200m/s or so which is near 3000mph. I'm going from memory here so don't shoot me.

    Ali wasn't the fast guy he was in the 60's when he fought Foreman so I say it was his smarts more than anything that beat Foreman.

    Would you rather be Foreman or Malignaggi...this is how I see this question. So I go with power.

    That ain't fair cuz foreman is a heavyweight. Malignaggi or maidana? I'd go with power in this one.
