Do you think Paulie Mallignaggi could knock you out?

[MeiXiang]

Let's say supposably - you let Paulie give you a free shot to the head. Do you think he'd knock you out? I only pick Paulie because he's known for below average KO power and very light hands. This question could just have easily been about some other similar boxer with little power.

A lot of people talk about boxers who are "feather fisted" etc...but what makes you so sure you'd stand up to that of a Professuonal Boxer?

- yes, I'm bored and it's almost 1am and I don't have anything to do...

[Razcal26]

Yes he would.

[lightsout15]

Pro fighters will knock you out, even Paulie But he'll probably break his hand while doing so.

[HtotheZ]

If he could it probably would be purely because he hit me perfectly on the button (which apparently only requires like 10 lbs of pressure)

otherwise I doubt it but I wouldn't write off anyone who boxes for a living no matter how pitty patty their punches look

[REMOVE SHARK 55]

Free shot? He turns yours and my lights out.

[miniq]

Yes & he'd look like Mike Tyson doing it. I wouldn't even get a chance to do the Zab strut before gracefully smashing my face off the floor.

He'd stopmost non professionals. Boxing 12 rounds is something people need to work towards. Most people have built up a resistance towards punched: his punches would hurt and they would cause swelling.

I'd imagine that the average Joe would quit due to the pain, gas out, or get stopped due to swellings and cuts.

When people chat **** about boxers, I think they should punch themselves moderately hard. It's not something that would feel nice and it is not something that would feel nice if it happened in the same region hundreds of times.

Malignaggi doesn't hit hard but you don't need to hit exceptionally hard to cause pain.

[lopetego]

pretty sure even the most featherfisted pro fighters punch harder than your average couch potatoe

[Kel1981]

No, I highly doubt it

The University of Manchester did an experiment with Ricky Hatton, and the result was that he hit more than 10x harder than your average man on the street.

If Hatton hit's more than 10x harder, you would have to assume Paulie might be around 2x or 3x harder than the average at least. Don't forget technique plays a major part. Their technique will generate more power than the average person can.
