    Did Ali ever get his punching power measured?.

    i heard he did and he was found to only punch at 500 psi which i think isnt true. Ali had good power not huge power but he could still punch pretty hard. Liston after his first loss to ali was actually surprised by his power . He said "thats not the guy i was suppose to fight that guy could punch" . Foreman also said ali had deceptive power . Folley after being knocked out by ali said that ali was the greatest heavyweight ever . He said "people should stop comparing ali with louis . There is no comparison ali would of boxed louis silly . Louis wouldnt of being able to live with alis power and speed."

    I doubt that he was ever tested.

      Ali hit hard enough to KO people, which is all the power he needed.

          were they results of the tests he did. interestingly enough frazier is often referred to as one of the hardest puncher ever but his left hook only clocked 850 psi which is only 100 psi higher than michael spinks.

                  Tyson has never permanantly injured a world class fighter. 'Bank ruined Michael Watson's career and his life with one punch.

                    Answer me, you little *****.

                    And FYI, Ali could generate 1.22 tonnes of pressure.
