Its a common misconception that wald hits harder than vitai

[catskills23]

how and when did they test their punches???

sounds fishy to me...

its all over the net . i was also on a german boxing site and the germans were saying that wald and vital got their punch measured on some german tv show and vitai was found to be the hardest puncher.

Most people belive wald is a much harder puncher than vitali but tests show that vitalis hits at 1300 psi and wald hits at 1100 psi . Vitali hits harder "fact".

Not according to Freddie Roach and Manny Steward, who both say Wlad is the harder puncher

I don't really buy that stuff though. Unless they've been hit it's nonsense to suggest one guy hits harder. Manny Steward has a habit of exaggerating his fighters' skills.

Of course they would say that they are training wald . They are trying to hype up their fighter . Dont believe everything trainers say about their fighter. Their hardly going to say that a fighter who is not trained by them hits harder its called pr . Angelo Dundee before the thomas tyson fight said that tyson wasent fit to be mentioed in the same sentence as pinklon . We saw what happened at fight time . tyson destroyed him. psi tests are factual what trainers or opponents say are opinions.

Pinklon could have gone far if it wasn't for his terrible habits.

guess i was wrong...
hey but that is a still target not a boxer wald might be better hitting people not some stationary machine

[catskills23]

that test was done some years ago . it was before vitai injured his shoulder. vital might lost power because of the injury or throw arm punches to stop it from recurring . wald probably punches harder now but walds power is overrated he dosent punch anything like tyson,foreman,liston or shavers . those guys power is in a class of its own.

The only 'punching tests' that were ever conducted occurred in Rocky IV. But I'd wager that both Vitali and Wlad, not Wald, hit just as hard if not harder than "Drago."

lol,,,,that test is bs. I can tell who hits harder just by watching them punch. wlad clearly throws his punches with perfect technique and steps in with all his weight. he has nearly the same mass as vitali ( 240-246 lbs) and has more velocity on his shots. vitali is enormously strong,,but he tends to punch off his back foot and doesnt put all his weight behind the punch except on rare occasions. wlad is a much harder one punch guy. thats obvious to anyone who understand boxing well. vitali is obvilously the more durable guy which is what makes people think more highly of him,,,but wlad is the much better puncher between the two
