People are always interested in fame, popularity and recognition. Someone manages to achieve fame through acting, someone just has the talent to make money. But there are those who have incredible physical abilities. Sometimes their achievements are difficult or completely unrealistic to repeat. They set records that make them famous all over the world, glorifying sportsmanship.

The Guinness Book of World Records collects and records achievements from around the globe, often capturing the imagination of its readers. But some achievements are distinguished by such great senselessness or madness that no one even tries to repeat them. Also, the book of records is not engaged in fixing the impact force in a particular sport. This is due to the fact that it is almost impossible to instantly determine such an indicator, because for this you will have to use a large number of sensors that can harm the athlete during the performance.

But no need to be upset, because you can find out what was the most swipe in boxing history.

It's hard to reason

As mentioned above , impact force - value, which is difficult to measure. For example, on the football field, you can’t constantly run after the attackers to detect the speed of the ball, and in boxing it’s impossible to be in the ring and fix how powerfully this or that fighter hit.

But sports fans, as well as experts and critics, are compiling ratings that celebrate the strength achievements of athletes.

Answering the question of who has the strongest striking power in the world, it is virtually impossible to give an unambiguous answer, because the strength parameter depends on many factors. A very important point is which limb was struck and what were the circumstances.

You should also pay attention to fighter's weight to strength ratio. Of course, the ejected mass and speed of movement will affect the final force. But there are cases when an athlete weighs less, but is almost equal in strength to heavyweights weighing 120 kg.

Who owns the strongest punch?

There are a large number of martial arts in which they teach how to make powerful blows. But to measure the strength of blows during fights, special equipment is required. In this issue, progress was achieved only in boxing and kickboxing.

Boxers have always been considered athletes who can deliver powerful attacks with their hands. One of the most famous representatives of the boxing world - Mike Tyson, which everyone probably knows about, although his professional career has long ended.

• It is generally accepted that it is the powerful Mike who has the strongest punch in boxing. On numerous rides, where a special pear is hit to determine the impact force, photos of Mike are posted. They indicate that Mike Tyson's punch force is 800 kg. This indicator is really outstanding, and we can safely say that it actually has no equal. If you take into account the fact that in order to knock out another person, an uppercut with a force of 15 kg is enough, but you should hit it exactly in the jaw, throwing your arm sharply in a circular trajectory, this is really an extraordinary power.
• Answering the question asked, many experts recall the name of the famous boxer from Western Samoa, David Tua. They note that the most powerful hand snatch in his performance reached 1024 kg. You can only sympathize with his opponents. If to this day he could maintain the same excellent physical shape, he would become an excellent opponent for Wladimir Klitschko, who had to fight with weak opponents.

The strongest kicks

No less disturbing was the question of whether which fighters have strong kicks. Previously, it was considered that the most trained lower limbs in athletes involved only in karate and taekwondo.

But in recent years there have been numerous tournaments mixed martial arts, in which they kick hard, added fights without rules and Muay Thai.

Periodically, popular fighters take part in various TV shows where strength is compared. But the results of demonstration competitions, as a rule, are subjective, because the performance technique is individual for everyone, and the outgoing power depends on it.

For example, heavy league fighter Mirko Cro Cop performed the strongest kick with his leg, his power reached 2703 kg! This is the biggest move in MMA history. Another athlete, the Greek Mike Zambidis, weighing 70 kilograms, defeated the opponent with his right foot with a force of 1870 kilograms. As you can see, it's better not to joke with such serious guys.

Elbow and knee strikes

The real masters muay thai fighters. In performances for several blows, they are able to literally cut the skin of an opponent. Because of this, many fights resemble a bloody mess, and not sports competition, causing shock and non-perception among those who are watching the competition from the sidelines. But the power of such jerks is really huge.

Impact strength is a relative indicator, much depends on efficiency. The masters of Thai boxing managed to prove that an athlete weighing 50 kg can inflict only one punch, capable of knocking out an opponent.

What made football stars stand out

Football is the game of millions. football matches gather millions of spectators in front of television screens, thousands of fans in stadiums. In order to send the ball into the goal, you should hit the ball very accurately and strongly. Football critics often point out players who hit the goal with incredible force.

What is impact force and how is it determined? At the moment, an objective assessment of the force with which a blow is delivered is set only in professional boxing. For this, many measuring parameters of speed, power and efficiency are used.

In professional leagues, a special electronic scoring system "CompuBox" is used to measure the strongest hit. If we talk about non-professional boxing, then the Cross is recognized as the most powerful blow. It translates as "cross".

Types of punches in boxing

1. Hook (hook) - short side kick, which is applied with the right or left arm bent at the elbow. Such blows are directed to the head or body of the opponent. The main task this technique is to win ahead of time. By themselves, single hooks are not effective. You need the right mix of punches. However, this is a very dangerous knockout blow, which implies the accuracy and timeliness of the application;
2. jab(the name of the blow in boxing comes from the English jab "sudden blow") - left direct blow to the torso or head. The boxer's arm should be in a fully extended position. Among the main blows in boxing, this is not the strongest reception. Rather, it is high-speed, since the impact trajectory here is the shortest. The jab helps maintain distance; relevant when you need to take a comfortable position in order to prepare for an opponent's attack. The jab also slows down the opponent's forward movement;
3. Uppercut - applied from the bottom up in position bent arm . It can be used at short and long range. At the same time, all types of uppercuts are effective in situations of attacks and counterattacks;
4. Cross – strongest punch in boxing. It is applied to the head or to the body. Its peculiarity is that it is applied very sharply, at the same time there is a push of the hind leg and the movement of the body forward, with all the weight transferred to the front leg.

The strongest punch in boxing

Recall that there is no generally accepted measure of impact force. But in the world of boxing, the knockout ability of a fighter is recognized as decisive. On average, the impact force of an adult male varies between 200-1000 kg. The lower limit of the impact is normal for an athlete in weight category 60-70 kg. If we talk about the impact force of 1000 kg, then this is, as a rule, a certain limit inherent in a heavyweight.

The strongest boxer punch in the world is the Mike Tyson punch. It was he who was recognized as the best puncher in the history of boxing. During the period of his professional career, he won 50 fights out of 58 held, while 44 of them ended in a knockout. It is believed that Tyson's impact force is about 800 kg. Tyson's most impressive blow is considered the right side kick. Thanks to an impeccable balance between speed, body position and punching power, he managed to defeat many of the strongest opponents. The impact force of Mike Tyson ranges from 700-1800 kg.

The title of "the most crushing power of a boxer's punch" is also claimed by George Foreman. Note that out of 81 fights held, 68 ended in a knockout. Another indicator of Foreman's strength is a fight with such a famous heavyweight as Joe Frazier. He defeated the latter in two rounds, while knocking him down 6 times.

Ernie Shavers is considered the most powerful right hand in the history of boxing. It is no coincidence that Shavers earned the 10th line in the ranking of the 100 best athletes, as well as the nickname "Black Destroyer". According to statistics, he had 68 knockouts in his entire boxing career.

Comparing Tyson and Shavers, one famous heavyweight said that after hitting Mike, it feels like a high-speed Ferrari crashed into you, and after Ernie it seems like a huge truck ran over you.

It is no coincidence that among the most memorable moments in boxing, knockouts are always the first to come to mind. It's an impressive sight when a single 180-degree kick changes the course of the fight. And the one who seemed to be among the last, suddenly wins the leader. Therefore, a well-timed strong blow is the criterion that helps to reveal the true champion. This is what attracts fans, gives rise to a thirst for adrenaline and spectacle. The brightest fights become legendary, becoming part of the history of boxing.

How does a boxer throw the hardest punch?

According to classical concepts of boxing, in this type of martial arts, footwork and body work are the determining factor. The legs should be in a bent position, the steps are implemented on the toes, the strongest blow is performed on the jump. In lethal force, the athlete puts the speed of movement of the arms, legs, fist, in general, body weight. An important role is played by coordination of movements, that is, the ability of a fighter to instantly connect the whole body, the skill of owning the body. To achieve maximum punching power, you need to keep your feet firmly in the ring.

In the studies that were carried out to determine the blow of a boxer in kg, it was found that the maximum physical effort can be applied when the fighter is in an unsupported position, that is, when both legs do not touch the ring. The body, at the same time, is held almost vertically, before the strike is carried out a powerful push with the legs into the air, however, only the force of the hand is invested in the force of the swing. Thus, the momentum of movement is more impressive.

In general, after tracking the ongoing boxing fights that ended in knockouts, it is fair to conclude that the power of the punch is certainly important, but the technique and accuracy of its application are much more important.

Spectators love to watch the fights of athletes delivering crushing and swift hooks, beautifully knocking out an opponent. Read on about how the strength parameters of participants are measured, about the types of punches and the most powerful boxers.

How is punch power measured in boxing?

This term means attack slew rate, one way to measure it is to multiply the mass of the boxer by the acceleration. The indicators are recorded in a special unit of measure - psi (pound per square inch).

Professional competitions are controlled by special computer systems called CompuBox. They quite accurately register the efficiency, dynamics and effectiveness of the attacks.

Amateur sports have no way to objectively assess this value. At the Olympiads, it is customary to count as the most powerful technique - "cross".

What are hard hits?

The boxer's technique includes several types of attacks:

• direct tactics (jab, cross);
• side assault (hook, swing);
• attack from below (uppercut).

Each method can be applied both with the right and left hand.

Of these options, the jab is considered the weakest - this is a standard technique that any fighter should be able to perform.

By power, jerky and sharp attacks differ. The most effective methods in descending order:

1. Swing beats in the head or torso, has a trajectory hidden for the enemy, starts straight, but is applied to the side, is considered the most powerful (attack density increases due to pushing and turning the body).
2. Hook, along with the previous method, is recognized as the best weapon of a boxer; any arm bent at the elbow works here at a convenient distance (except for long distances). It is necessary to reach one of the zones: jaw, temple, neck or liver. Power is regulated by the mobility of the body and the transfer of the center of gravity.
3. The cross is used as a response to an assault by the enemy, the beating fist goes to upper part torso, above the vis-a-vis hand. Standing still or stepping forward, they transfer weight from the back leg to the front (this moment adds power to the maneuver), at the same time they implement an attacking action.
4. The uppercut is used when the opponents are close to each other. The hand turns towards itself, the hand passes at an angle (the smaller it is, the greater the effectiveness, the higher the power).

On a note! Talented fighters, based on ordinary strikes, can create sudden and swift combinations that create inconvenience to the enemy due to their non-standard.

TOP boxers with the most crushing punch

Here is a list of champions who can carry out the most difficult and fatal attacks for an opponent.

Reference! We indicate the main figure in psi, in brackets - an approximate correspondence in kg.

Max Baer

The athlete became famous in the 30s of the last century thanks to his right hand. Its power is approximately estimated at 1500 (800).

For some rivals, the duel ended tragically: Frankie Campbell died of a hemorrhage, Ernie Schaaf died of a stroke a few months later (it is believed that this was the result of injuries sustained during the fight).

Mike Tyson

Unsurpassed knockout master known for his aggressive fighting style. The strength of his attack varies between 1000-1800 (up to 1100).

Against opponents, he prefers to use the “pendulum”: the swinging of the torso creates an optimal angle, and an extremely concentrated blow is obtained. Combining the crushing power and swiftness of the attacks, Mike won by knockout in 44 matches. His name is inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records.

The legendary boxer is famous for his left hook, the magnitude of which reaches 1800. He knew how to hit with such force that the picture blurred in the eyes of the opponent as if in a fog. A lower height compared to opponents (182 cm) did not prevent the implementation of masterful attacks.

Interesting! A dramatic story from childhood played a role in the development of the ability. A boar from a neighboring farm attacked the boy and injured his hand. The limb has grown together, but at the wrong angle. This defect unexpectedly served in sports career: increased the power capabilities of the arm, the load it can withstand, and strengthened the bones.

He won a resounding victory in a duel with the famous Muhammad Ali, thanks to a heavy and clear side attack. He did this despite having a cataract in his left eye.

The boxer is rightfully considered one of the strongest in the world. His blow reached a value of 1900 (1200).
This is the case when the accumulated power does not lead to success without perfected technique and endurance in the arena. The athlete did not advance beyond the Nevada state championship title.

It is very difficult to focus on specific figures in kilograms or newtons when talking about the impact force. There are two significant reasons for this:

• The punching power of all the famous boxers has never been measured by anyone. And more important here is not so much the strength itself, but the magnitude of the knockout compound.
• All blows are divided into two categories: jerky and sharp. The power indicator of both types of blows can be the same, but their very essence can differ significantly.

More specifically, the impact force of a man is approximately between 200 and 1000 kg. At the same time, the blow force of a boxer weighing 60-70 kg reaches 200 kg, and the blow of a heavyweight boxer can reach 1000 kg. It becomes quite interesting that having an impact force of 15 kg or 150 Newtons) and striking in the chin area, it is already possible to “knock out” an opponent.

However, although there is no special dynamometer that measures the strength of all boxers, there is still an opinion that Mike Tyson has the strongest punch. The force of this blow is approximately 800 kg. A blow of such force can kill a person, and not just knock him out. But even blows with less force can lead to quite serious consequences.

Speaking of Mike Tyson, we should also remember his other records. At 20, he became the youngest world heavyweight champion. And a year later he became the youngest world champion among heavyweight boxers. he is also the boxer who achieved these titles in the shortest period of time.

Taken from the Guinness Book of Records.

Among athletes various kinds sports, it is very difficult to determine who has the strongest hit in the world due to the lack of a complete system.

Experts, reviewers and just fans are accustomed to creating a wide variety of ratings. Currently, neither in the world of martial arts, nor in other sports, there is a universal approach to fixing the force of a blow.

The subjective opinion of judges, observers and opponents of fights is used as an evaluation criterion. It is difficult to come to a consensus about the owner of the most powerful blow due to the presence of a large number of influencing criteria: height, weight, distance, position of the blow and other indicators important for the result.

Grading system

Boxing is the only type of professional martial arts that uses a system for assessing the impact force. During the match, the boxers are monitored by the CompuBox program.

The system records and evaluates the strikes, displaying their statistics and speed. The strike of each fighter is unique, and it is very difficult to compare the strength, given the weight, height, position.

But to evaluate and standardize the results at the international level, the psi unit (1 psi) is used, or the power is estimated in kg. The strength of the male impact is estimated in the range of 200-1000 kg. A value of 200 kg is a good indicator for a boxer weighing less than 70 kg. The upper figure refers to heavyweight athletes.

In boxing, hand movements are divided into jerky and sharp. From the hand, the most effective and powerful is "Cross" (translated as "Cross"). It applies directly. The athlete's body is tilted back, the dominant hand swings over the opponent's glove. The visual crossing of the hands of rivals gave it its name.

World record

Mike Tyson is the most famous boxer. The only result in the history of world martial arts that got into the Guinness Book of Records - a punch, belongs to him and is 800 kg.

Mike Tyson is a legendary athlete who has set many records. The boxer's career began rapidly. He won his first title at the age of 20, receiving the title of the most junior champion among the heavyweights.

He confirmed his title a year later, having received the title of absolute champion in his weight and reaching a new record. Throughout his stellar career iron mike more than once shocked the world community with his eccentric antics and phenomenal achievements. Opponents evaluate the blow of a boxer with the power of a ram with a sports Ferrari. Such power can not only knock out an opponent, but also lead to death.

Kicks among wrestlers

The strongest kicks belong to athletes of mixed martial arts (MMA), karateka, muay thai fighters and taekwondo fighters.

The most famous result was shown by Croatian Mirko Krokop. The power of his left leg was 2703 kg and is called the "Mavashi kick".

His technique is simple but effective: the leg bent at the knee is carried out through the side (the lower leg and knee should be parallel to the floor), it unbends and the instep of the foot hits the opponent.

Football records

Strikes are the main technique not only for the world of martial arts, but also for football. The most powerful kick from the foot at the moment is considered to be a Brazilian free kick nicknamed Hulk (the name of Zhivanildo Vieira de Souza) from a distance of 34 m. The speed of the ball was 214 km / h.

The second most powerful result belongs to Lukas Podolski. In 2010, the German hit the ball at a speed of 201 km/h. The impact distance was only 16 m.

For a long time, Roberto Carlos da Silva Rocha remained the absolute record holder in terms of impact force, the maximum flight speed of his ball was 198 km / h. He set the punching power record several times during his career, each time improving the result.

New stars appear among athletes every day, records are achieved, results are updated. The strength of a human impact is difficult to measure, and even more difficult to compare with the results of other athletes.

Each achievement is unique depending on the parameters of the athlete and the situation in the gaming arena, so it is almost an impossible task to single out one single owner of the strongest blow in the world.
