I just watched Rocky IV for the first time in a long time and I saw the part where the say the average heavyweights punching power is 700lbs per square inch. I was wondering how accurate this is and if anyone knows if Tyson or Foreman have done this. Thanks
I think the Rocky IV writers simply thought it would be a cool idea to do that and compare it to the "average" heavyweight. Fighters don't use machines to measure their punching power.
However, if i remember correctly, for fun the military once tested Marciano's power and said it was equivalent to an armor piercing missile.
I heard Mike Tyson's power was equivalent to be hit but a truck!!
I'm not sure what to believe, but i sure as hell know good heavyweight punches very hard!!
I actually have seen machines in Karate Dojos that DO measure punching power acquitted, so how bout you quit being a nutscak if you dont know the answer, huh?

Yeah right... :rolleyes:
What surprised me most is that the chain punches of a good wt student are a lot harder then any hooks or straights of a good boxer. I dont remember the actual numbers but this is very interesting stuff.
Whats wt?
Tell me more about this.
