Real fighting requires a lot of energy both physically and psychologically. Ordinarily, you will drain very quickly, in fact more muscle mass means more of a draw on your body’s resources. But in a real fight it’s more of the case of how you use your body not what it looks like. Therefore the question relates to generation of force. How much force can you generate in a punch?
Generation of force
Punching hard and fast relies on the ability to generate a large amount of force in a short period of time.
To punch hard you have to be able to accelerate your fist from 0 to 100 as fast as possible. But it’s not just the acceleration that is important it’s the weight of your fists.
Think of a heavy mass traveling at high speed, the heavy mass traveling at speed hits with more power. It does more damage.
