Hatton hits as hard as Frank Bruno ????

[salsalero]

Them machines are good fun, especially when you see a little dude get a higher score than the guys who think they are hard.

LOL. is there by any chance that the little guy's first name was Ricky?

It isn't possible, the various claims we have now amount to Hatton punching three times as hard as Pacquiao (and as hard as Tyson), with Pacquiao himself having a HW punch, and clearly all that amounts to total nonsense. I suspect proverbial apples are being compared with oranges somewhere along the line. That figure for Bruno is in the region of those for Tyson and Marciano, and seems about right. Methinks we need an expert on this stuff to explain things.

The only "claims" are those from Pacman's camp. Hatton's aren't claims they were verified by a real scientific team at a University which results can be viewed in multiple articles on the internet. Furthermore, Hatton initially hit the machine so hard he broke it and caused it to register something ridiculous like 1500lbs.





Here's a fight science report on punch power from different disciplines.

They had guys from tae kwon do, karate, kung fu etc all punch a dummy and the hardest hit recorded was from a boxer. Keep in mind most of those guys look like 200lbs+ and were hitting at 800-900. The heavyweight boxer hit at like 990.

"Measuring the forces applied in football studies, the team also worked out that Hatton's average punching force is more than twice the kicking force of a Premier League footballer."

Damn, the Pac fans claim he only hits 300 lb thats pathetic.

pac is a girly weakling. Hatton is going to destroy him.

The hardest on the meter I believe was what looked to be a 220lbs Tae Kwon Do guy's hardest round house kick to the chest of the dummy that measured at about 1500lbs.

A karate/kung fu guy's flying jump kick to the middle of the chest was about 900lbs which is equivalent to Hatton's punch.

I don't think it's truly ever been measured but CLAIMS on the internet suggest Tyson punched anywhere from 1300-1700lbs.

I read elsewhere that the "average heavyweight punch is 800lbs" that would put Hatton's punch 100lbs over the average heavyweight, which considering what the average heavyweight looks like (zuri lawrence, dominick guinn LOL) I would believe.

supposedly Rocky Marciano registered at 1100lbs

[larry x]

hatton can punch..everytime he hit paulie dude was ready to go...

hatton will win by hugging pac to death

[Fulcrum29]

hatton will win by hugging pac to death

what's your obsession with hugging are you gay or something? Literally the past 15 comments of yours I've seen are all about Hatton hugging.

The question is what is being scientifically measured, and whether in the case of all the fighters that have been mentioned it is/was the same thing. According to what seems to be the standard measure, top dog was Rocky Marciano at 1,000 psi or so. Bruno came in around 880, Tyson at 930. Now, according to that same measure of punching power no sane person could believe Hatton would score 900, let alone 1,500. Hatton punches as hard as Tyson did? Er, no. If he did he would have KO'd all his opponents within 2 rounds. You can 'verify' everything, but if you measuring different things, then comparisons are meaningless.

Likewise, comparing Pacquaio's '300' with Hatton's '900' is equally pointless, as they are obviously measures of different things.
