Shane Carwin had proper HW punching power.
So did Tank Abbott. He hit Nelmark with a short arm punch and it looked like he killed him.

Fedor knocked Arlovski out cold. Rumble couldn't finish an older Arlovski.Not everyone has Rumble power. Do whatever you got to do to put your opponent out.
Nearly everyone but Fedor at HW has Rumble power. That actually wasn't true in 2005 when Fedor was at his peak. You had guys like Cro Cop, Josh Barnett, etc. But nowadays even rank 10-15 guys have it.
While TS is very wrong, Brock isn't really a great example since he's got terrible punching power especially if you consider his size.Tell that to Frank Mir, who even Brock didnt put unconscious. Old & fat Fedor did.
force = mass times accelerationLook at the shots that Fedor hit Sonnen with. Those were absolute bombs as hard as he could wind up and throw them. Fedor's power sucks for HW. It's his speed -- connecting with 3 shots at a time -- and accuracy, as far as HW goes, that kills people.
Imagine mediocre HWs like Matt Mittrione connecting with these left hooks. Chael would be done in 1 shot. He survived like 20 of Fedor's though.
I wanted to make this thread because it's a common mistake that Fedor has this incredible punching power. He does not even though everyone else at HW does. He's just an incredible fighter and compensates for it with other skills.

I think it was more because of blatant height cutting than his natural punching power .Shane Carwin had proper HW punching power.
What we're really looking at 1/2*mass*velocity^2force = mass times acceleration
if you aren't big enough in terms of mass, you can always work on speed to generate more force by getting more powerful. power is a product of speed and strength. fedor is very explosive and powerful. that allows him to punch hard and KO HWs. mitrione hits hard and is also quite fast. so he is a hard hitter quitter.
I feel dumber having read this.What we're really looking at 1/2*mass*velocity^2
It's really, really hard to increae velocity. Only 2 ways are being taller (longer reach -- so the stuff at the end of your long stick is moving at a higher velocity) or having more fast twitch muscle fiber. Both of those are 100% genetic. You can't really work on that with exercise. Exercise won't make you taller or give you more fast twitch: slow twitch muscle ratio. That's why punching power is thought as given by god, and not able to be developed.
You CAN develop punching power by just getting really fat or really big. Which is what every HW above 250 lbs has.
AA was working out Fedor then ran into a punch and got KO'ed.Fedor knocked Arlovski out cold. Rumble couldn't finish an older Arlovski.
Lol
well he usually goes foetal before that big shot, unless he gets triangled first, tbf.Fedor has knocked out heavyweights with one punch though. I think the X factor here is Chael Sonnen’s chin. He has never gone out cold
He curls up but doesn’t go unconscious. Wandy rocked him too but he has a big ass head and jaw and can take shots like Titowell he usually goes foetal before that big shot, unless he gets triangled first, tbf.

AA tasted Rumble's power early and shelled up for the rest of the fight.
