This is why boxers have to wear pillows on there hand as some jackass newbe said. Put it this way. Would you feel more comfortable taking on on the chin from a prime Tito Ortiz or would you feel more safe taking on on the chin From a prime Mike Tyson. Both wearing no gloves.
But I don't get your point. Would you rather take a punch from Mike Tyson or be kicked in the face by Mirko Cro Cop?

Or maybe picked up and slammed on your head by Rampage Jackson?

Or choked to death by Randy Couture?

Or have you arm snapped in half by Sakuraba?

It all hurts.
I was comparing strait punching power. A article in 1988 sports illustrated said a Mike Tyson punch is the equivalent to have a phone book on your face and having a major leaguer hit you with a ball bat.
Yes but so what? All a boxer has to learn is how to punch. I'm sure back in Columbus' day there were people in Genoa who knew the local topography better than him. It didn't matter to him though as whilst they were mapping out their local fields and woodlands he was busy discovering America...............
