Why Evander Holyfield couldn't hit as hard as Mike Tyson when they had the same amount of muscle ?

Because they wore different trunks you g-damn nincompoop.

 

Wilder's whole body swing technique is probably the hardest at top 10. If we were to compare short straights instead im picking Joshua over Wilder.

On a punch machine would pick Joshua aswell going in 100% at the shot.

 

boxers who goes to heavier weights does not carry their punching power....

 

I thought it was common knowledge that black trunks makes you hit harder.

 

Same reason 2 guys the same build can't jump the same height, some **** is just born into you.. you can teach how to put more power on a shot, but you just can't teach what someone isn't born with. Ask Jordan how he jumps so high, what technique it was... he just could.

Same, ask Wilder why he punches so hard, he just does.

 

Different types of power .Frazier rocky Hamed big thick legs strong core ! Hearns Wilder Foster lanky long limbed ..Both work different method.

 

That's not how punching power works, you ****ing idiot.

 

Such a massive subject. There's so many different types of puncher and reasons why person A can punch harder than person B. For me, the main reason why Tyson punched harder than Holyfield was down to explosive speed.

And it's not true that fighters don't carry their power as they move up in weight. Look at Thomas Hearns, for example.

 

Some fighters carry their power as they move up in weight. Some do not.

It does seem in the PED era, it is more common for a fighter to carry their power into higher weight classes than in the past.

 

I think Holyfield was working more inside in combinaison and used more short punches. He also was more aware defensively so his stance and style did not allow him to throw as much power punches as Tyson.

 

How about some guys can just hit harder than other guys? Just as some can jump higher, run faster or farther, throw a ball faster or whatever.

Keep in mind all these guys hit way harder than the average guy walking around the street. Even with that, some of them will hit harder than others.

 

Wilder has chicken legs, even Wladimir Klitschko had skinny legs compared to the rest of his body.

 

Holyfield was a ped cheat with small legs. Tyson a natural with legs.
