The most lethal punch in each champions weight class.

[Anomalocaris]

I will start.

Heavyweight - Foreman. Only Ali could have taken those bodyshots and George fought a ****** fight.

Cooney should know.

Welter - Hearns and it's not even close - Cuevas was a monster.

Flyweight - Wilde - no argument.

The Ghost with a Hammer in his Hand.

The deadliest punchers are the smaller guys actually.


The smaller divisions produce more KOs, the heavier guys tend to get that T. Fly being the deadliest division.




Also, lethalness probably should be a records thing. IMO.

Who killed more? Because power isn't a killer. Notice the HW and how they love that T. Notice the killers have less technical and more direct KOs without power? I can explain this more deeply, get into transfer of energy and kinematic chains and such but, 1 I don't think youse lot care for any explanation that isn't a boxing coded explanation and 2 I think it is a records question not a style, resume, or anything else circumstance can or should be used to excuse.

which, imo puts Baer on top the HWs but I don't know enough about killers in the other divisions to speak to them. Max got 2 kills? Max the killer of the HWs. ... I'm pretty sure there are only 3 confirmed deaths in the HW division and Max owns 2. Or at least owns one and shares one.

I found a boxing related source, so i think it's a bit better than c'mon y'all I know about this stuff kinda posting. Just read this PDF bros, same facts, same takeaways, the only thing I added is I think deadliest is a records question not a power question or even talent question. But the stuff about sizes was ... dead ... on. bad pun can't help it.

Look up Fitzsimmons,Leotis Martin, and Joe Bugner.

It's a pretty distasteful topic imo.

I did not mean that at all, I am going to change the wording of the topic title.

I am utterly horrifed people thought I did.

FFS.

We didn't. You were clear enough. It just slid into that, which happens.

[Anomalocaris]

The ****ing bot would not allow me to change it.

I meant the hardest puncher, ' lethal' was a term of phrase.

Any injury in a combat sport is obscene.

[Marchegiano]

I don't understand what makes it a distasteful topic.

I did think OP really meant deadly

My bad but also you guys sound like little girls.

So a fatality is for little girls?

Watch Griffith v Paret.

Horrifying.

That ****ing ref should have been done for manslaughter.
