More punching power: Tyson or Marciano?

[XionComrade]

Roberto Duran hit the bag harder than Tyson did, Gerald Mcclellan hit it harder than tyson did, Rocky Marciano hit it harder than George Foreman did!

tyson hit much harder . tyson hit at 1750 psi . marciano hit at 1000 psi . case closed.

800psi obliterates bones, get your head out of your ass.

Tyson also fought bigger opponents than Marciano. That should be taken into consideration.

Would you people cut the arguing crap. This is a perfectly debatable topic.

Neither Tyson or Marciano had their power measured, don't listen to these fan fics. Their diffirent styles of power gives people diffirent opinions.

Back in the mid 60's the military tested Marciano's power. They figured out that Marciano's suzie Q had more force behind it than an armor peircing bullet and had enough force to spot lift 1000lbs 12 inches off of the ground.

And how did they figure that out?

archie moore said marciano hit pretty hard but it wasnt the power, it was the pace he kept up

On that famous photo Walcott looks like hes being hit pretty hard to me lol wouldnt like to think I was on the end of one the Rocks punches.

I'll say it again......Physics!! Power = force x velocity (the acceleration of a body is proportional to the resultant force exerted on the body and is inversely proportional to the mass of the body; Newton's second law inextricably links mass and force). All extraneous variables aside, taking into account pure power for a single punch, Tyson had greater power. One could endlessly quibble about strength-endurance related punching power, but to what end? Certainly not one that can be quantified with any objectivity. Pound for pound single-punch power, the argument is different...I think some folks are inadvertantly doing this and using it as the basis for pressuming that Marciano had equivalent single-punch power.

Tyson by far was the superior puncher.

LMAO, way to jump on the bandwagon. Do you even know who the 2 in question are? The least you could do would be to give atleast a small explanation. Sure tyson had bigger arms, better delivery time, accuracy,etc, BUT MARCIANO WOULD HIT HARDER. For instance Marciano's best hook, to tyson's best hook. both are well known for their hooks, but marciano would be more likely to give you brain damage. and he hit harder.
