So many fans don't understand why there are weight classes.

[Sledgeweather17]

They don't hit harder. That's a funny myth. Assuming you weight 135 pounds and is 5'6. Getting hit by Julian Jackson right hand will remove you from conscious and have you knocked out. The same right hand from Tyson will have you knocked out. Neither will kill you. They will leave the same damage to you. So how does Tyson hitting harder have anything to do with bigger men and weight classes?

The reason is that Jackson hitting a 6'6 250 pound Joshua won't knock him out at all because the brain rattles less when you are bigger......

Your argument is moronic.

Mayweather and Pacquiao weigh exactly the same on average based on recorded fight night weights.

You telling me Mayweather hits just as hard as Pacquaio?

No, because Pacquiao's punches are harder.

Then you take it weigh out of the realm of common sense and try to tell us that Tyson and Trinidad have the same punching power.

I aint never heard anything dumber than this.

That's because punching power is related to weight its not all or only about weight, you also have technique, leverage and mindset, the TS is way off.

What the fuc k did I just read? Lol

So by this logic we shouldnt see any KO's at HW?

If HWs and WWs punch with the same force, and HWs have much better chins...

I dont even know why im bothering to respond rationally to this thread tbh

Let's make this easier for you.

Who do you think punch harder? Lebron James or Prime Julian Jackson?
I think only a idiot will say Lebron. Why? Because lebron don't know how to punch. It's about technique when it comes to power.

Now
Who will be harder to knock down, given you can punch both in the face at full face? Lebron will be harder to move because he's bigger.

Being bigger have nothing to do with being able to punch harder. That's ******ed. It's all about technique and training.

You totally misunderstood.
Once again let's make this easier.

What I mean is this:
You can teach a 140 pound man to punch harder than a 220 pound man. Pacquaio punches harder than freaking a 220 pound basketball player ok.

But what you CAN'T teach is durability. The 220 pound guy will always be harder to hurt because he is bigger.

When I was 170, I was much easier to hurt than the current 210 version of me. BUT my punching stayed the same. I punched the same at 170 as I do now at 210 because I'm not a professional fighter, I didn't learn tactics. I'm just wailing away. Some midget 5'3 flyweight probably punch harder than me but I can assure you i have the better chin,

I often hear people say that there are weight classes because of size difference. That's totally moronic. Felix Trinidad is 5'11, Mike Tyson is 5'10. They both punch the same. The reason there are weight classes is that the heavier you are, the easier it is for you to take a punch.

225 Pound Tyson can take a punch better than 160 Pound Trinidad. It's not because Tyson can 'outmuscle' or 'size' Trinidad, but because his chin is better due to size.

Anthony Joshua will beat Gennady Golevkin because Joshua's chin is 10 times better. Gennady will literally have to hit him 10 times to have the same effect as punching say Canelo once. In terms of actual power, it's the same thing. Joshua punching you in the face is the same as Mayweather if both punches were thrown at the perfect angle. You will be knocked out.

It's that the higher you go up in weights the better your chin becomes. That's it.

******est thing ever. size is not just height. size is strength, muscle mass and build. tyson is way bigger than any welter or middleweight even if he has t rex arms. tyson and tito or AJ and mayweather do not punch with the same power. that is the ******est thing i ever read on this website and that is saying something.

Lebron is bigger than Tyson. Does Lebron punch harder than Tyson?

So if you go by your ****** logic

Lewis hit harder than Tyson and Fury hit harder than Lewis? AND BUTTERBEAN HIT HARDER THAN FURY?

[elfag]

It's not a funny myth..

it's fcuking physics!!!

F = ma

and also

K = 1/2 mv^2

Think about it

OP is arguing against basic newtonian mechanics that was proven in the 1600s

So once again by your 'logic'

Mayweather hit harder than PACQUAIO? Since mayweather is bigger?
