where's the Rampage one!
I like da one where they show how Rampage be slammin folk at 400 Gs and it’s the hardest hit anyone takes in any sport! Also, I remember they measured Rampage’s punch at 1800 lbs…that’s 500 more than Toney! Deal wit DAT, Boxing wusses!
"My prediction?...Pain!"
I thought I remembered Rampage hitting at 1800 lbs too, but when I saw this saying Toney was only 1300, and one saying that a world kickboxing champ only kicked 1000 lbs, I thought maybe I was remembering the numbers wrong on Rampage. Guess I was right. Do you have the link to that vid, Piddy? I couldn’t find it again.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
1300 lbs ain't shit!
Last time Chuck Norris hit me, it registered 8800 lbs of force. Almost bent 3 of my beard hairs!

Yes
Yes it was. I guess Mania thought this might interest those who didn’t want to sit through the whole video.
We get it….Toney hits harder. But who wrestles, kicks, GNP’s, smothers, knees, etc, etc, etc. better??? Advantage – Couture.
No we get it...
Why didn’t they just say it: “James Toney has about the same chance to win this as he does in becoming an ordained Jewish Athiest Muslim Priest!” seriously that was nut hugging at its best, though I do agree with a lot of what was said it just seemed like a beatdown of Toney

I would like to see how Chuck"in his prime", Rampage, and Carwin would stack up against boxers in similar weight classes.
I know Rampage was tested on that show, but I forget what number he punched in at. I know it was up there.

Yeah, Carwin would be a sick number one would have to assume!
Don’t get me wrong Rampage has the KO power to knock out people in a super heavyweight division but Carwin just seems to be the king of planet Holy Shit He He Has Sick Power

Rampage was 2000+?
It was utterly insane.
If I was a hungry man with a gun in my hand and some promises to keep...
Rampage punched at 1800 lbs
like Pitida-Fu said. And the slam he used on Arona registered as the highest amount of force they’d ever recorded in any sport. As I recall, they said it was higher than the standard numbers used for car crashes in the auto safety industry! So it’s literally like getting hit by a truck!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I don't think Chuck's shots were that powerful.
He would knock guys out as he was leaning back and stepping away. It wasn’t his power that KOd them, it was the fact that they never saw the punch coming.
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
I think Chuck had a lot of power in his prime.
Look at the knockouts he had over Overeem and Mezger.

where's carwin to wire-up when you need him
I’d be interested in the psi of one of his shots (no homo)

I know they had Alexander Houston on one of these types of shows
his numbers were up there pretty high as well.
They tried to measure his ground game as well, but had no scale that would measure imaginary numbers.

Alexander Houston?
lol
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
dakatak must be Asian
I remember in PRIDE there was often confusion among the Japanese about which was the “first” and which was the “last” name because they reverse the order, so they didn’t know if they fighter had written it their way or the Western way.
All I know was that it sounded cool as hell when that Japanese announcer lady with the rolling "r"s used to scream: "Sakurrrrrraba KAZOOOOOOshi!

Either one of their punches will KO someone if in the right spot!
And those arcade machines that mindfuck and GSP used only require a slight downward pushing motion to register high.

So basically Toney is a better boxer but Randy is better at everything else?
That shit is ground-breaking.

What is wrong with you guys? This isn't BE... Well timed sarcastic comment by TheGreg but come on.

Why is that directed at me, it's not like I was asking for recs or anything . . .
Now lets forget this whole mess and all go vote for my comment on OJR’s quote of the week :-P
"Before I do anything I ask myself, "Would an idiot do that?" And if the answer is yes, I do not do that thing." - Dwight Schrute
Not directed at you Greg
He said you made a well timed comment, but that doesn’t give us the right to turn that shit green. Green posts are for gays.
Noons does not have power in his hands. Maybe his knees but his hands do not have KO power. they’re good enough to cut up and swell up gurgel’s face, but he won’t be ko’ing gurgel tonight.-STAK
agreed OJR!
7 recs for that shit? (No offense Greg). Basic 4th grade sarcasm! Oh yeah, THAT shit is groundbreaking! Shit, even late-night British 70’s sit-com reruns on PBS are funnier than most of the shit that gets rec’d around here. You guys act like you’ve never heard sarcasm before!
You guys need to read some of Pitida-Fu’s shit. He had me blowing milk out my nose again this morning. I’ll take 6th grade toilet humor with a creative twist over flat run-o-the-mill sarcasm any day.
(again no offense to you, Greg. You just made a perfectly reasonable comment and you weren’t the one that rec’d it into insanity. This is directed at those who seem ready to bronze your keyboard and nominate you for president based on their under-evolved senses of humor.)
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
see this is what happens
when you leave humor-judging in the hands of white people! LOL. We get 10 years each of Friends and Seinfeld (wth!)….and Bernie Mac dyin’ of pnuemonia cause he can’t afford a damn raincoat!
"Who's da MASTA?!!!"
Wow i guess Randy really is a freak accident
Fedor "The Last Can Crusher" Emelianstinko finally falls at the hands of a washed up UFC Contender...the Irony:)
I can't watch the video what are the numbers?

he hits with 300 lbs less force but his cardiovascular data is off the charts and he also knows how to do stuff on the ground.
by PetrozellisJab on Aug 27, 2010 12:29 PM EDT up reply actions
but Toney's number wasn't measured in the lab, they basically made it up from watching videos.
I have a feeling the discrepancy is much higher than the 300Lbs they are claiming.
The rest of the video is spent making Randy look good, because he did them a favor and came into their lab.
Bullets dodge Fedor.
No Fucking Shit Sherlock!!!
Pain is weakness leaving the body
They didnt replay him punching the bag 90 times like with vera
so could have been worse
Why is Randy always on the sport science
I seen him, Forrest, Fedor and somoene else LOL but i think this has been the third time Couture has been on it.
I want to see Sport Science test on below fighters results i would bemost interested in seeing

I like this
I would like to see the endurance tests compared to other top endurance athletes like boxers, marathon runners, etc
by PetrozellisJab on Aug 27, 2010 1:36 PM EDT up reply actions
I bet you Carwins power is at least 1600?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Do you have a link? Not that I don't believe you but Tyson was 1850 or at least that what was said on here?
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
I can't see to many having more power than Tyson, Carwin maybe with one punch but thats it.

No that was a joke referencing the alleged steroid use in 2006.

If They Do The Cardio Resp. test On Couture
it would be interesting to see his stats next to GSPs stats.

Leg kicks would be interesting also

Double post much??

Manhoef beats them all
And those measures are always different, first rampage hits the bag with a haymaker with his ass on it, then Couture hits it with a poor technical straight punch, then Toney hits the bag with combinations of punches of any kind.
GSP hits that machine on cris angels’s house and does it with another poor technical straight just standing next to that thing, nothing to help him he hits like a puss and that is why he never finish his fights by KO.
He’s knocked down almost everyone he’s faced. Sure, he doesn’t have the one punch KO power, but look at the dudes he’s knocked down, it’s pretty impressive. I haven’t seen too many people be able to knock down Hughes, Fitch or Alves (not to mention make BJ and his granite chin a walking zombie).
Myth: Three Americans die every year from rabies. Fact: Four Americans die every year die from rabies.
Neither guy is a power puncher
They need to do power punchers edition have like Vitali and who ever else is a hard hitting HW in boxing vs Carwin/Bigfoot/AA see who hits the hardest for real.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Actually put Manhoef in there as well
Hes not a HW but he sure hits like one! Overeem as well damn im forgetting people!
