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

[JasonBoxing]

M.Tyson STYLE of punching for one . At 5'10 and 215 /220 at his peak was also at his fastest as a pro boxer which also made him compact and able to generate maximum force through technique . ..

You STILL have to be able to punch hard , technique ALONE doesn't make you a hard puncher , to suggest weight doesn't effect punching power is nonsensical and to use GGG as reference to k.o 'ing a 220 pounder wouldn't prove Trinidad has the same power as M.Tyson and that only weight separates them .

Wait a second aren't you the one who made a thread claiming WWE was more dangerous than boxing or harder ? And didn't understand why the Klitcko brothers never fought since the Undertaker and Kane did ? Never mind , i'll leave it here !


The Undertaker hits the hardest ..Tombstone city !

haha. Wow. Surreal.

It's all technique.

A 240 Pound guy with bad technique(random NFL player)
will get destroy by a
140 pound guy with trained technique(say Prime Roberto Duran)

BUT that being said.
The 204 pound guy still have a BETTER chin than DURAN.

Heavier hits harder and absorbs better

Why take it to such ridiculous extremes?

A HW who is trained to throw punches punches harder than a LW. If both had the same technique then the HW would punch much much harder.

By your logic:

-HW's dont punch harder than WW's
-HW's absorb punches better
-WW's cant KO HW's due to HW's having better chins

So why do we see HW's knocking each other out? They punch just as hard as a trained WW, and WW obviously cant KO a HW, so it must be virtually non existent to see KO's at HW.

Yet we see them all the time. Even glancing blows can leave fighters twitching on the canvas.

I cant believe im arguing about whether a HW punches harder than a ****ing WW. What is this forum...

1-Dude your boxing knowledge is so bad. No offense bro we both boxing fans but Roy never had a good chin. It didn't get 'worst' lmao, what a myth. Roy always had a glass jaw, his reflexes saved him from getting knocked out. The moment his reflexes left, he kept going down.

2-When did I say ALL BIGGER MEN have better chins than smaller men? I said MOST and that is the reason for weight classes.

Hahaha, yeah your boxing knowledge is awesome

Roy might have had a bad chin but it certainly didn't get better after each successive time he was KO'd. His chin almost certainly got worse.

[Chuckguy]

The fact that Mike had a freaking tree trunk for a neck probably helped too.

And oak tree thighs

chins can't get worst

chins can't get worst

Actually...that's physically untrue...

for instance...medical studies have shown that after suffering your first concussion, you are 3-6 times more likely to suffer another...the damage done to your brain causes both physical and chemical changes to your brain, that are irreversible...your brain is NEVER the same after suffering that kind of trauma...

And that doesn't even take into account the psychological effects that the event will have on you...

After you've been KTFO, you are certainly more susceptible to having it happen again...from both a physical and psychological standpoint...

However, I have no idea why I even bothered to type that...you think the only difference between Mike Tyson and Paulie Malignaggi is that Mike could take a punch better...

[Damn Wicked]

chins can't get worst

Everyone's chin gets worse. Aging doesn't make you stronger. Getting cracked in the chin doesn't make your chin better...It slowly ..or sometimes QUICKLY degrades your ability to take a shot. Like Soda just mentioned, with each concussion it becomes easier to cause physical trauma to your brain. Why do you think brawlers careers end so much earlier than defensive fighters who try to avoid punishment?

That's exactly what I was thinking. This guy is so ****** that no matter how much we try to educate him, it's completely hopeless. I think he's suffered too many concussions and as a consequence he's unable to think straight.

As if there's something new about this. Mainly casuals have vague knowledge about weight classes. What's the point?
