      It's the reaction of the fighter that makes the jump, not the punch itself.

      Then answer this, Why do granite chinned fighters never bounce like that?
      Because they don't have a severe reaction to a punch, but they do take a punch that is just as hard. It's all in the reaction.

        That makes a whole lot of sense. So I guess what caused the severe reaction in the fighter was the glare in the ceiling lights...The punch had nothing to do with it.

          Galento did have a granite chin, though.

            Exactly. As did Botha and Frazier.

              A hard punch can make a head snap back, punch the side of the face and the guy can be all over the ring. But you still don't get what im aiming at, off their feet over 100 kilograms will jump because of a punch? Like i said, some have that reaction to a punch, but when you look at a big slugfests with iron chinned warriors, you don't see them taking a flight home when an uppercut lands huh. Yall been watching too many Rocky movies where they do jump.

                Botha had a granite chin?? This is your best one yet Better than

                The men Foreman knocked out in the first round would have KOed Jim Jeffries with their eyes closed. Lets be real folks.
                Maybe you were exaggerating again.

                  You know as much about boxing as I know about Pakistani synchronized swimming.

                  Thats it. On that note I should recede from this debate. I am confidently concluding that your cranium is filled with sponge.

                    actually it is possible. apparently when marcianos punch was measured it had the same power required to spot lift 1000 pounds 1 foot into the air. however the human body is a far more flezible object. IMO most of the power from an uppercut like this will go into shooting the head back and arching the back rather than throwing them into the air. it is also highly unlikely that all of the power within a punch will be transfered to the target.
