Difference between Fedor's power and Legit HW power

Kinda strange that everyone he's fought has called him one of, if not the, hardest hitters they've faced. But they lived it, so what do they know?

I bet their comprehension skills were just all messed up from getting hit so h....... wait a minute.
 
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.

Add some skill to anyone over 200 pounds and they will likely punch pretty damn hard. All the hw fighters always had it. No neck hw's can eat bombs pretty good compared to smaller humans also. Rumble is among a group who are just born with hands of stone.
 
Didn´t Fedor 1 punch KO.. Arlovski, Rogers, Rizzo, Ishii and Mir???

<LikeReally5>
 
Fedor does not generate the same power from short punches as say Carwin but his haymakers can KO most fighters if landed flush.
 
Tell that to Frank Mir, who even Brock didnt put unconscious. Old & fat Fedor did.
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.
 
Look 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.

force = 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.
 
Guys like Hendo and Chael have stated outright or implied that Fedor has hit them harder than anyone. AA and Rogers would probably say that if they could remember any of it.

Go be stupid somewhere else.

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.

I feel dumber having read this.
You actually think you can't build more fast twitch muscles??
<{hfved}>
You actually think getting fat is how you build punching power.
Go see any local gym trainer.

Fedor knocked Arlovski out cold. Rumble couldn't finish an older Arlovski.

Lol
AA was working out Fedor then ran into a punch and got KO'ed.

AA tasted Rumble's power early and shelled up for the rest of the fight.
 
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
well he usually goes foetal before that big shot, unless he gets triangled first, tbf.

AA didn't land shit on Fedor, except shoulder punches and a push kick.

Fedor ko'd Arlovski cold. What round did Rumble ko him in?

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 Tito

Possibly while he remains so articulate and smart. Pretty impressive given his job and age.

Lol, there isn't any defending, don't try.

Arlovski proved too tough for Rumble, but not too tough for Fedor.

Fact
