[BIG H]

Not sure, but I seem to remember that Frank Bruno was supposed to have measured the highest PPSI

The only story I ever heard about a great heavyweight's punching power being measured goes something like this...

A couple of years after he retired, Marciano was making some kind of a appearance at an army base. One of the officers asked him if he wanted to know how hard he hit. Intrigued, Marciano said "sure".

They had an army boxing team on base, with some pretty serious amatuers. They had attached a pad to a ballistic dynamometer, which a fighter could hit and it would measure the PSI at impact.

A ballistic dynamometer is a machine used to see the power generated by small artillery shells, so you can see why they would have one at an army base.

All the army boxers big hits were written on a blackboard near the BD. One of the guys had apparently just broken 600 pounds, which they thought was big shit.

They taped the Rock up, slid on a glove, and after a couple of practice swings, Rocky registered 973 pounds. This was at 190 pounds, and a couple of years retired.

I read somewhere a mule can kick and hit at 500 lbs psi and tyson was 300 lbs psi or something like that. Thanks

CC interesting stuff. Imagine if every pro boxer had to be measured and it was included in the pre-fight stats. I think that would be great.

I think that's off. Because Tyson can't generate even 1/2 a mule kick's power. And I happen to know that a throughbred racehorse at full stride generates approximately 7000 PSI evry time it's hoof hits the dirt.

just an educated guess i estimate tysons punching power would be about 1100 psi,if marciano can generate 950 psi ,tyson out weighed the great marciano by 35 LBS and generated tremendous power from his unique boxing stance and compact frame and ivan drago averages 1850 psi,so what ever he hits,he destroyes

If a retired Marciano could hit 973, I'm guessing a prime Tyson could hot 1200-1250. I remeber there was kickboxer a few years back, (no not CroCop), whose LHK was measured at like 2050 psi. Once you his 973 though it's all academic baby. 900 pounds, 2000 pounds. Don't matter. You're getting KTFO.

Brilliant have a CC from me

I once read somewhere that Tyson punched 3 times harder than a normal man in the same shape weighing the same

[Lionheart Lacy]

i heard rockys psi punch power was 1000 pounds, they probably jus rounded it up. this is some serious power im tellin ya, u hit a normal man with that sort of power it could kill. not any ordinary heavyweight boxer would get close to them numbers unless they have some serious serious power!
i dont think the HW's of today could reach them numbers, actyually maybe a few like W.klits, tua, peters. infact im not sure these guys cud generate that sort of power, rocky was a one of when it came to power punching.

Are you kidding me? That had this noname guy who was much smaller, and slower than Tyson go on Rippleys believe it or not to see if which form of fighting punched the hardest and with a cross this guy hit over 1000 psi. Anyways there was a sight that tested his psi power, and it said that he punched the equivalent of a 25 pound sledgehammer moving 35 MPH. Or a car moving 50 MPH.
