What hits harder, a gloved fist or a bare one?

[gatorDelux]

Omfg A GLOVE IS NEVER HARDER THAN A REAL PUNCH - maybe if you load it up with the same **** Margarito or risto did, it might hurt the same.

The impact is way more centered in a punch from a knuckle, where the gloves impact is on a bigger area = lesser impact. Let a knuckle connect to your chin and you'reut just like you' be with the glove.

ATG ******est question ever.

i think u mean atg dumbest question...

Impact way more centered and evenly spread out from a glove.

Impact on bigger area = more impact.

dont think thats how it works....

i dont think there is a huge differnce....

i just tested on my head.

just tested this on my head....

the gloved punch had more force and shook my head more....

but the bare one hurt like a mother****er.

Why would you be so ****** to do such a thing???

The glove will rattle your brain which is pretty bad as well. It's a different kind of "hurt"

Bare knuckle will break bones and cause dents/gashes

and yeah a bare knuckle hook to the ribs = game over, i'd rather take one to the face than the body!

Imagine a prime cotto body shot

The question is "What hits harder, a gloved fist or a bare one?"

Well if you have a prime Mike Tyson hit you three times with his left hook in the face and you tell him to hit you as hard as he can every time and your options are........

1. Boxing glove

2. MMA glove

3. Bare fist

Im sure that he hits just as hard with each of the three options because his power (pounds per square in PSI) isnt going to go down just because hes wearing a glove or an even bigger boxing glove or even bare fisted. Hes is going to punch just as hard with any of the three so its not a question of what hits harder between a gloved fist or a bare one but what kind of damage do you prefer?

A boxing glove being bigger and having a larger surface area will spread out the force of the impact over a larger area and concuss you and leave you KTFO sleep but not all cut up.

An MMA glove will concentrate the same force over a smaller area and put you to sleep just as easily and maybe break a bone in your face due to the smaller more concentrated point of contact.

A bare knuckle fist will do the same and KO you real quick but on top of that you will have a fractured face and some nasty cuts to go with it because the knuckles will make contact first and all the force will be concentrated on the knuckles.

Neither of these options hit harder than the other, its the effect that the different options give you that matters and to me if somebody asked me which one I would chose if I had to get hit by Iron Mike in his prime I would chose a boxing glove because I would want to stay as far away from his bare fists as possible.
