    How hard can olypians hit compared to boxers?

    This is the world record holder in the shot put, unlike a boxer he only trains for strength and power.

    The throwing technique is very similar to a boxing punch the legs and hips do a very similar thing.

    It wouldn't take too long to teach him how to punch since he has the hardest part down.

    If he could punch how hard would his punch be compared to say Deontay Wilders?

    If they could measure it?

    Would it be less or more and why?

    Why are white people dominating in shot put and javelin, when it seems it would be a sport more suited to a west African athlete?

    Is it because of the strength element of the sport ?

    Shot putters and Discus and Hammer throwers are basically strongman type athletes, with similar lifts. It seems that mostly these guys tend to be white guys, often Scandanavian. Maybe black giants tend to go more for sports like Basketball and American Football. More athleticism with some strength. I dunno, its a good question. Why do white guys favour MMA on the whole, vs boxing. Maybe thats the strength element as well, because of the grappling. Ive known alot of fast athletic black guys who lift pretty weak weights, and lots of strong white guys who lift a tonne but cant run or jump ect. But these are obviously just generalities incase any SJWs want to refer me for prosecution �� Maybe the shotputter and Discus throwers are so genetically fast twitch they can never build the stamina and cardio needed for boxing.
