Jeffries in the ‘Fight of the Century’. Known for his tremendous power and fighting tenacity in the ring, he was an important figure in boxing and in American culture. He ran a successful desegregated nightclub, but fell into controversy for marrying a white woman and for his generally unapologetic attitude. Despite the injustices he faced, he was still a proud and upstanding man, and his legacy inspires many of today's fighters, as well as the other boxers on this list, to greatness.","Who was Jack (John Arthur) Johnson?",{"_uid":676,"answer":677,"question":678,"component":670},"b67cf745-fbda-45eb-a677-2913fa024950","Often credited with inventing the modern straight punch, Joe Louis was extremely ahead of his time inside the ring. If you watch his footwork, you can see his movements were calculated, calm, and as small as possible, much like many of today’s modern boxers. Defeating German boxer Max Schmeling is arguably one of his most historic fights, as it elevated him to the status of National hero during World War II. However, Louis did face incredible racial discrimination. The government credited charitable fights used to raise money for the war effort to Louis’ own income, therefore leaving him in debt and forcing the then-retired Louis back into the ring in 1951. Through all of this however, Louis remained, by all accounts, a good and generous man, and was able to live comfortably towards the end of his life thanks to help from friends.","Who was Joe Louis (Joseph Louis Barrow)?",{"_uid":680,"answer":681,"question":682,"component":670},"bf40ba9a-92c5-4c6c-8998-6b8eec2fbfcd","Widely regarded as the greatest pound-for-pound boxer of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson was the very definition of a modern boxer-puncher.

With an incredible ending record of 174 (109 KO) wins to only 19 defeats (almost all of which came far past his prime), he certainly has one of the most impressive professional records of all time.

Many of today’s boxers mimic the moves and boxing techniques he pioneered during his reign as heavyweight champion.

Striking Systems - Kickboxing is built on a 4-point striking system (2 punches and 2 kicks), while Muay Thai uses an 8-point striking system that includes knee strikes, elbow strikes, and upper body grappling that’s referred to as the “full clinch.” Because of this, Kickboxers often fight from a distance, while Muay Thai artists move in and out of their opponent’s pocket. \n\n2. Movement - Thai fighters tend to move at a more even pace—their foundational footwork movement is a forward 1-2-3 march called the Yang Sam Khum that keeps their feet flat-footed and their head centerline. \n\nIn contrast, Kickboxers stay on the balls of their feet and bounce and circle around the ring. Kickboxers move in and out of the striker zone at a lightning-fast pace, cutting angles with their footwork to set up and doge attacks.\n\n3. Stance - If a Muay Thai fighter and a Kickboxer are facing each other in a ring (say, in a UFC or Bellator Mixed Martial Arts fight), they’re going to hold their bodies very differently. \n\nThe Muay Thai fighter will be standing flat on their feet, hips facing their opponent, hands at their temples to block strikes. \n\nThe Kickboxer will be bouncing on their feet with one foot significantly ahead of the other, creating a bladed stance that turns the side of their torso towards their opponent. Their hands will likely be a little lower, as Kickboxers fight from a distance. \n\n4. Kicks - Kicks to the body and head are cornerstones of both Muay Thai and Kickboxing…but not all kicks are created equal. \n\nIn Muay Thai, fighters kick by turning their hips and landing with the lower shin. They don’t bend their knee, but rather keep the leg relaxed until the moment of impact, resulting in a powerhouse of a kick that can feel and sound like the crack of a baseball bat. It’s because of this force that Muay Thai artists are trained to check their opponent’s kicks to prevent serious damage to their legs. \n\nKickboxers, on the other hand, hinge from the knee and lift the leg up to strike with the foot rather than the shin. Because pure kickboxing fights are often scored by points, fighters are motivated to deliver rapid-fire kicks that may not knock out their opponent but will rack up points for strikes. In American Kickboxing, fighters are not allowed to throw kicks to their opponent’s thighs or calves. \n\n5. Volume and Pace - Watch even just one round of Kickboxing and you’ll be able to grasp how much of kickboxing is a barrage of strikes. Kickboxers are volume strikers—they strike fast and often, punctuating strike combos with a mix of high and low kicks.\n\nOn the other hand, Muay Thai fighters tend to fight with a more patient and measured style. Many Muay Thai gyms coach a Sabai Sabai mindset, which loosely translates to “keep it chill.” The idea is to slowly wear down your opponent and then when they’re tired, knock them out with ruthless efficiency. \nAt the end of the day, both Muay Thai and Kickboxing are incredible workouts, great for your mental health, and badass as hell.

For Boxing, that would be Deontay Wilder and for MMA, Francis Ngannou of the UFC.\n\nWhile there may be plenty of debate amongst the fight community about who throws the hardest punch, currently the nod would go to Francis Ngannou.\n\nBack in 2018, while still on the climb to the top of the UFC heavyweight division, Ngannou visited the UFC Performance Institute where he put his legendary punching power to the test to see how much force his overhand right and off-balance uppercut punches produced. The results were staggering. His overhand right registered an astonishing 129,161 Franklin (f) units while his off-balance uppercut registered 122,000 Franklin units (The Franklin is a measurement of human force taking into account both the power and energy within an impact.) His speed power was measured to be 51.064 ft. lbs/sec which is equivalent to 92.84 HP, or the same as a compact-sized car. Both are still current World Records.\n\nNote: He shattered the previous record of 114,000 units held by Tyron Sprong (K-1).\n\nSo how does Deontay Wilder’s punch fare in comparison? That is often left up to debate. While he has been recorded punching a bar room punching machine (left-handed), this is usually an inaccurate measure of true punching power. There are a lot of people who would love to know exactly how much power he brings in his devastating right hand, but we may never know as there is no recorded event of him striking a PowerKube.\n\nOther fighters who, in their prime, could have been contenders for the hardest puncher of all-time are “Iron” Mike Tyson and Earnie Shavers.","What is power output and which fighters are in the top?",{"_uid":2044,"answer":2045,"question":2046,"component":670},"155cb66e-1a8f-4803-82f4-e59a9c19be35","Looking at pure punching power alone, the top two overall, highest-ever recorded punches were both by mixed martial artists.","When it comes to punching power and power output, who punches harder, boxers or MMA fighters?",{"_uid":2048,"answer":2049,"question":2050,"component":670},"152d00ad-9027-46cd-abf1-5381f9e5fbe9","Some people like to debate who is the harder puncher between the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and one of the best KO artists from the UFC, Conor McGregor.\n\nIf we look at the overall outcome of the match-up, Boxing and Mayweather win. Mayweather was able to get a TKO over McGregor in the 10th round of the bout. The only question is, does this settle the debate? Not quite.\n\nMost people would argue that the only way McGregor would have won the bout would have been if he tagged Mayweather with one of his devastating lefts and dropped Mayweather early on in the fight. However, there is a reason Mayweather has a perfect 50-0 record during his career: his ability to avoid the big hit from his opponents, demonstrating the true goal of Boxing: hit and not get hit.\n\nUltimately, in this scenario, Mayweather is the better boxer. Had both of these men tested their punches on a PowerKube, the results would more than likely sway in favor of McGregor for the most powerful punch. McGregor has an impressive 81% of his fights coming via KO, while Mayweather, who has never really been known for his striking power, holds a 54% KO rate (including TKOs).","Who is the harder puncher between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Conor McGregor?",{"_uid":2052,"answer":2053,"question":2054,"component":670},"90549745-5064-4c44-a8cf-f09fa0e04275","When it comes to who punches harder between Boxers or MMA fighters, this is still left open to interpretation.

In order to be the best all-around, too much of their fight has to focus on the ground game to be able to take on challengers from all martial arts disciplines.
