punching a test machine is a bit different than timing and accuracy in the ring

if its true tho it aint such a bad feather

Tysons punch power was never tested.

Unless you count Larry Holmes chin as a good indicator

Results speak for itself, and by that i mean results in the ring, guys like Tyson and Foreman knocked out gritty top guys in the HW division with their explosive power, guys who were well established and known for having good beards and usually would do it with one punch

Who has Helenius beat (apart from maybe a shot Peter) to give any indication that he hits harder than Tyson or Foreman?

[Fenster]

Calzaghe hits harder than Holyfield, Haye and Froch according to one of those punch machines.

they are accurate tho fenster, I have the hardest punch in benidorm using one of them punch bag machines

in a pub in the middle of benidorm with loads of fellas having a go at this punch bag machine, all taking massive run ups and that

i stood in front of it and put my fist right through it with an overhand right, feet planted to the grown with a twist of the hips I beat the top score by a considerable margin

now im not bragging or anything im just saying that they must be pretty accurate

[Fenster]

You da man eric, you da man!!!

That always makes me laugh!

Can you imagine a power punching tournament between fighteres like Tyson, Shavers, Foreman, Lewis and Frazier.

Now can you imagine any one of them taking a run up?

Fuck me if someone needs the extra momentum of moving at about 15 miles an hour ( which you lose anyway because you stop to punch otherwise youd run straight in to the machine itself only a foot directly behind the target!) to aid their punching theyd better give up any hope of winning a fight.

Theyre arguing in the street and come out with "right thats it! Wait there!" they then walk about 20 feet away and come running towards theyre intended opponent arms flailing only for their opponent to foil them by taking a cunning step to the side.
