    Ricky Hatton punches 10 times harder than the average person

    Boxing nicknames are odd things. 'Prince' Naseem Hamed wasn’t really royalty, yet there was something 'Marvellous' about Marvin Hagler. So what about our very own Ricky 'The Hitman' Hatton? Is his title the stuff of fantasy or reality?


    Old 2007 article. Found it in a search for those "punchforce sensors".

    Quote:

    "According to the study, Ricky punches with a massive 400kg (882 pounds) of instantaneous force.

    When you bear in mind that the average man in the street with no boxing experience has an impact of about 40kg (88 pounds), that means Ricky is ten times harder than most of us. And if that didn’t make the point, his punching force is also twice that of the power in the average Premiership footballer’s kick!"

        No surprise... Most pro fighters punch 10 times harder than the average person, probably even Malignaggi.

          So Ricky Hatton punches harder than Corrie Sanders and Lennox Lewis.

            LOL.

            What kind of average men were they testing for that statistic?

            88 lbs?

            C'mon, son.

                    I know, it's pretty ridiculous, though.
