Ok noob, ask yourself this: What if Tyson wore 4 oz. baby gloves instead of 16 oz. gloves, or how about no gloves? would crocop's LHK still be more dangerous?
Tyson's punch is more dangerous than Crocop's LHK (Proof)
i always knew tyson's punches hit harder than any k-1 kickboxer, mixed martial artist, and any boxer in the world...look at how he destroyed francois botha and francois was a beast in k-1
I doubt that Tyson's punch, or anyone's punch for that matter, can generate as much force as devastating leg kick. When people have measured these things on National Geographic and stuff like that, that's what it shows. Doesn't mean it's not more difficult to land a big kick, but if you do, it should cause more damage than a punch (if you know what you're doing). In either case, Tyson was a huge puncher, probably within the top five all time.
Within the context of fights both have fought you must remember Tyson was hitting people with heavy boxing gloves, Cro Cop hits people with his bare shin.
From this perspective obviously Cro Cops kick would do more damage.
Now take away Tyson golves and you might have a different story. Add to the fact that Tyson's hand speed in his prime and how much easier it is to throw a punch to the face than a kick to the head and most assuredly Tyson's punch is more "dangerous." Tyson with the hand speed he had in his prime, wearing 4oz gloves would probably deliver more KOs than Cro Cops kicks has. He can throw that punch that has rediculous power with more speed (ie more often) and with more ease (again more often) than CC could deliver his LHK.
Period.
Which will do more damage? Your gonna KO'd regardless, but CC's LHK will probably hurt more, but he would not be able to deliver it as often or as accurately as Tyson would be able to deliver his punch, thus making Tyson punch less "traumatic" but more "dangerous"
Wow you people are delusional if you think that a punch can generate more then a kick.
I guarnetee theres LHWs out there that can kick with more force then a Tyson punch. Watch fight science for god sakes and look what Bas Ruttens kicks did and CC most definatly kicks harder then el guapo.
Also use a little common sense when thinking about it, you put WAY more force into a kick then you do a punch. Also yes Tyson did flat line people alot but look where he caught people, RIGHT ON THE CHIN, CC has knocked out people with head kicks anytime he connected with one with the exception of Hunt who is a freak of nature. Watch CC vs Wand, CC barly grazes Wand with a LHW and utter destroys him, he caught him with the heel of his foot bearly on the top of the head.

You misunderstand why Cro Cop's left high kick is so impressive. Your hands are already in close range to your opponents head, so it's not hard to catch them with a punch. As a kick, comes from a farther distance, making it harder to catch people off guard with it.
