Dynamics of a punch
I was thinking about this the other day, and was wondering if someone more educated on the subject had any answers for me?
How are boxers from the lighter weight classes, like Julian Jackson for instance, able to produce such massive amounts of force in their punches? Another example is Bob Foster, the guy looked frail and skinny, but actually fractured someone's skull in one of his fights I believe. True or not, the man had monstrous power. There are plenty of other examples, Like Duran, Hearns etc
But if you watch someone like Tua, Foreman or Shavers fight, there punchers look much slower, but have an equally, if not more devastating effect. I know it sounds stupid, but If you look at Tyson, it apperas he does hit harder than say Tua because of his speed, it looks far less clubbing. But I believe the opposite to be true.
So what exactly is the science / dynamics going on behind punching power, if anyone is kind enough to explain?
