I heard you can tell if a fighter has a knockout punch by his bone density, alot of fighters look really skinny with no muscle but have knock down punches, like erik morales, tommy hitman hearns, alexis arguello, is this because they have hard bones? some guys throw tons of punches and cannot knock out fighters that often like leo dorin, the baby bull diaz and paulie malinaggi is it because they have lighter bones or less dense bones?

I think bone density has nothing to do with punching power. Power is developed or intensified in training and the most specific and effective tool is constantly hitting the good ol' heavy bag, and hitting it the hardest you can during workouts (called max-effort punching), which consists of several rounds per session.

The ability to KO is another thing. It requires skill, speed and precise timing, trademarks of KO artists like Pacman, Hearns & co.

It has to do with a couple of things. The muscular and wear a fighter renergates his power. (if they have real strong legs and shoulders, tricpes) Bone density in the hands matters, and most importanly training. ;)

and so the insanity continues

and so the insanity continues
insanity huh? for you...

insanity huh? for you...
do u really think he is a ko artist
i really dont
i especially at and above 126
i think he hits hard
but i wouldnt call him a ko artist

I don't think he belongs in the same sentence as Hearns, certainly, and not being able to put away JMM after knocking him down 3 times in a single round doesn't bolster his case as a KO artist.

nah if this were so almost all black fighters would be KO artist. PPl of african (negroid) decent have denser bones. This corelates w/ increased drownings of black children! It has been studied for many years!
lmao
so dats why dey dont like swimming

The guys you named , Erik Morales and Thomas Hearns, (hearns is my all -time favorite fighter btw) are naturally wiry guys. Wiry guys like that can always punch well.

I believe kermit cintron is one of the few younger prospects who has ko artist potential, I also think he can give jermain taylor a hell of a fight since kermit cintron can easily go up to 160.

and so the insanity continues

Yeah, I don't believe that Pacman deserves to be listed with all time great knock-out artists. Naseem Hamed had a better punch than him..

I think it has to do with, proper speed, technique and follow through.

i dont believe this ****

Pacman is most definitly on his way to being a ko artist but i would say his next few fights well determine that. If he knockouts out Morales he is right there.
