Just from your observation of a fighter's swing, can you tell if he's heavy-handed? Would you have thought that seeing Foreman throwing punches?

primo canera...abe simon..
other end of the scale...khasio galaxy...

3 kinds of hard punches imo

1)big heavy clubs foreman/liston style...

2)Explosive bombs a la louis tyson dempsey

3)sharp crack-type punches like SRL, canonzeri

It's the sound that tells me someone punches hard.

You're not impressed by a swing that looks like it would crash-down a building, dft?

My favourite type of punchers are the ones that dont look heavy handed when they throw the punch. Its clear to see Foreman will do damage when he lands but I love the type of fighter that can hit you with an innocuous looking shot and have you out.

Cant think of an example right now but there are a few about.

like joe louis could do?

Ye exactly. I was just about to mention Louis as a perfect example. I think that is more a perfect technique type of puncher. Somebody who knows how to channel the maximum force through a punch rather than somebody who is naturally strong and powerful.

Dont know to post it so the video comes up on the page?

But you can see those short shots don't just put them on queer street they literally knock his opponents senseless. Amazing to be able to channel the force of a ton of bricks by moving your arm a few inches.
