Does Rocky Marciano's 50th victory, KO of Muhammad Ali, make him the GOAT?

That's also true. I don't think there's a heavyweight right now capable of actually walking through his "pitty-pat" (lol) punches even when he's not going all out on them; they apparently sting enough to give even the toughest guys pause.

Up to him to add a couple of nice KTFO shots to his arsenal, with his skill-set it shouldn't take him long to do so.

Dempsey's book is pretty great, after reading it I can't get over how some crappy trainers insist on adding rotation to their jabs, lol. "It's a straight punch, keep it straight!"

I make prosthetics for a living. Understanding the flow of kinetic energy through the body is part of my job.

When Dempsey talks about powerline what he's getting at in physics is kinematic chains. I was pretty floored by his understanding of physics. The words are different but the ideas are there. It's very Newtonian, but, people even now struggle to follow Newton.

And Yes! Exactly, Tyson's so big and strong he can pitter-pat his way into a KO. Just for the feat of it, I'd love to see a man built like him hit like Marciano on a weighted pendulum. I am sure that figure would be staggering.

Probably. I truly worry about the mental health of the OP. This is some far-out kind of stuff.

I haven't read all of the replies but I'm hoping no one agreed with the TS. Unless to troll him.

You probably know this, but the exercise Dempsey uses to explain this "powerline", how it passes from the sole of the foot to the 4th and 5th knuckle with the fist pressed against a wall, is pretty much identical to a basic Tai Chi exercise that's supposed to explain the principle of "grounding" - with the only difference being that Tai Chi practitioners tend to use an open palm instead of a fist.

It's fascinating stuff, really.
