According to that video, the trainer says that a normal boxer's punch would be 700 p.s.i but for this guy(Who has been specially trained) ,it is 1850......the movie was taken in the 80's.....Ofcourse things have changed a lot today,more boxer are scientifically trained....So,what would be the strentgth of boxers of this generation and is it very powerful

Answer 1

The p.s.i for the average heavyweight boxer is 600 p.s.i. That being said there are pro heavyweights out there that go pro with having no amateur fights under their belt. It happens in all the weight classes. Alot of people think that all pro boxer are light mayweather and only people on tv, they dont know that there are pro boxers that never make it to tv. There are way more pro boxers that arent on tv compared to those who are. I said that to explain that any person over 201lbs can walk into a gym and go through a couple steps and they are a pro fighter on the spot they may not know how to punch at all and maybe only get 115 p.s.i so that takes down the average. and there are gonna be more boxers under 600 than over 600 so to even it out there has to be some hard punchers too. so 1850 is 3x's the average punch meaning it is a very good punch.

Answer 2

What's with the swastikas bro? Or are those the indian peace symbols (or something like that)?



Punches are often measured in lbs or force.



A heavy-punching Bantamweight punches with about 350-400 lbs of force.



Former Heavyweight champion, Chris Byrd (who is a light-punching Heavyweight), can punch at a maximum of 1300 lbs of force.
