Average looking people who can punch?

[ELPacman]

Have you ever thought that maybe that business dude carrying a briefcase could pack some serious power in his punches? I sometimes wandered just how many normal or average joes we see daily who might pack some kind of amazing punching power and have no clue and will never know. I understand you need to practice your punches, how to throw them and whatnot, but let's say naturally gifted punchers. How many are out there that have no idea?

I think about this after one day going to a bar with some buddies and they had one of those punching machines to test your power. This short ****y stocky kid was hitting that, outscoring everyone all night. He walked out of the bar. In came this white boy with his friends. Looked like an average joe with a lame button down. His buddies convinced him to try it. He threw some bootleg looking shots and everytime he landed, he was easily outscoring the ****y stocky mofo who had already walked out. I was like, daaaayum! Kid didn't look like nothing, and his shots were packing some serious pop on that thing. I was immediately wandering how many people out there have some untapped power they don't even know about? lol.

That's why u never based someone's ability to kick ur azzz on looks.

I've never heard about these machines.

I've never heard about these machines.

Seriously? You've never been to the boardwalk or certain arcade locations that have them? It's like an oversized speed bag that you gotta hit once and it like launches the bag back up into the machine. Then it shows your score. Not as cool as Ivan Drago's punching PSI measurement, but pretty good for your average joe.

Edit: Found a pic, lol. Looks similar to this one,

That's why one punch KO power is something you are born with. I have said that a million times and it's 100% true. You can increase punching power but to have that Tyson, Julian Jackson type power, it's genetic.

It also has nothing to do with muscles, my cousin was a KO artist. He was 160 if that soaking wet and I saw him knock dudes out that were 250 lbs and up, no joke. At parties he would fight dudes and put them to sleep.

He just had that natural power, it was weird and he was so skinny.

Ya, I believe it. A naturally born puncher just becomes more scarier when they actually sit down on their shots properly and practice proper technique.

1) Your question is ******. Makes about as much sense as asking ''How many people in this world have the potential to be a skilled mechanic''. How would you go about measuring such a thing.

2) Punching machines are inaccurate.

My High pitch attempt at it a while ago

One thing I found cool is noticing the different types of dudes that spar at a gym...I would see a little dude going through HARD at the gym - shadowing, sparring....see him leave and he looks like he owes someone his lunch money. Also the opposite with big tough looking dudes flat out SCARED to spar with someone way smaller once they heard the kick back from them hitting a heavy bag or mitts.
