A man of that weight can still hit hard enough to cause that kind of damage. 

Dempsey was ferocious, that kind of intensity had never been seen before. 

Look at what has happened around the middle weight, super middles over the years ...  punching power is not all about weight... 

 

Some great footage lads, thanks for sharing....I'm sorted for a night or 2..lol

Not at all, if that was the case the biggest would always be the hardest punchers. 

I think size can help add absolute punch power to a fighter but you're either born with knockout power or you're not.

And ali, clay at the time, was 14 stone 11lb, I think. Certainly a couple of pounds under 15 stone ?

Cooper was even lighter in reality, for the second bout he had lead in his boots for the weigh-in.

As smooth as butter, made it look like a dance. 

Interesting fact, he took the name  Joe Walcott from one of his boxing idols who is an ATG in his own right. 

Greb, have you read about john edward kelly? If not, have a read ?
