    Are the most powerful punches fast and explosive or slow and heavy?

    Guys like Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Julian Jackson etc teh hardest hitters ever hit in a heavy and slow way.

    Guys like Hearns, Tyson etc hit hard and where extremely fast/explosive but they wernt as powerful as the above guys

    I think this whole explosiveness = more power is BS its a myth, its heaviness feeling in your punches that counts for far more power than explosiveness ever will.

    Its a myth rooted in factual science ie speed is x2 as important as weight for power but its missing a key point (I know what that is and the answer to this question im just seeing what you guys think and why)

    You can tell im right because reality goes against the misguided but sensible myth, ie shavers/foreman and julian jackson are the hardest punchers ever


    Agree or disagree and why?

    Tyson looked fast because he had short arms.

    There are no "slow powerful punches". The more power you put into a punch the faster your arm moves. It just looks slower from the side when you're lanky. Optical illusion.

        well you asked a dumb question bud

        taking longer to land a punch because your arms are 9" longer or you throw from a wider angle doesn't mean the fist at the end is moving at a slower speed... it's called leverage. Foreman and shavers used a lot of leveraged punches.

        a catapult looks slower than a baseball bat but is it? no

                Force equals mass times acceleration

                    yOU DIDNT GET ANY LOVE FROM PARENTS SO NOW YOU NEED TO BE EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE OR POTENT IN SOME WAY IN THE EYES OF OTHERS TO GET SOMETHING CLOSE TO THE LOVE YOU NEVER GOT FROM PARENTS

                    BUT YOU ARE NOT EVEN AVERAGE YOU ARE LIKE SUPER PATHETIC LET ALONE EXTREMELY POTENT

                    SO YOU TRY TO TRICK PEOPLE INTO THINKING YOU ARE POTENT WITH LIES TRICKS AND COOL STORIES

                    MY RECOMMENDATION: THE CHILD NEED MORE PUNISHMENT
