The picture's caption doesn't make much sense to me. Everything I have learned about both knockouts and boxing gloves indicates little to no influence on knockout power. ChocoTheRed 10:05, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to jump in on this so late but from training on the bag with MMA gloves and boxing gloves I can honestly say boxing gloves are far more devastating. Wearing the bigger gloves pretty much transforms your hand into a club. Historical fact also shows the bigger gloves were purely created to protect the hands without much thought for the opponent. Boxing gloves are not soft, they are made of hard padding and if you ever actually touched one you would have a lot more respect for what those things can actually do. The smaller solid surface of an MMA glove leads to more surface injuries but boxing gloves deliver more force with little risk of hand injury 213.94.144.115 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:21, 30 September 2010 (UTC).
punching a bag with small or no gloves may feel weaker than with big boxing gloves, but the punches are not weaker. bigger gloves will spread the kinetic energy that is transferred over a bigger area, and, more importantly, over a larger time span. also the glove itself will absorb part of the energy through deforming. anybody questioning this is welcome to spar with small gloves, and with big gloves for comparison. i will change the picture text now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.54.15.94 ( talk) 19:19, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
I have removed the long list of sporters with punching power. That list is in my opinion irrelevant and a coat rack. In fact, it adds nothing to the article. The Banner talk 10:59, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone think of a reason not to puts this up for deletion. The references are all dead links and the text looks like blatant OR. It doesn't even make much sense: two of the five essentials are "stepping" and "footwork" which would seem to overlap. We are also told that to acquire punching power "lack of arm punching" is a vital component: leg punching I suppose is preferred. Tigerboy1966 19:32, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
