Now I(kal-el) am a big sports fan and in particular a boxing fan. Some boxers have a great punch regardless of their build, strength. Punch power goes beyond muscle and bone. And remember, power is not just strength. its speed x strength(scientifically speaking) Given these facts, who has the hardest punch in Comics in your opinions? I wont put a poll coz there must be loads of guys worth a shout!
Hulk, Juggernaut, or the Abomination probably. Technique wise though, probably the Thing.
Also, sorry to break the thread, but why do I keep getting this message when I try to post in other areas-
I've already tried contacting in administrator but I havent heard anything yet. Again, sorry to break the thread, but this is a rare moment where I was allowed to post.

The Thing is not as strong as the Hulk. The Hulk and Thor are about equal in strength (although there's that thing where Hulk gets stronger the madder he gets), and the Juggernaut at least used to have immeasurable abilities due to their mystical nature.
Boxing skill? That's a hard thing to measure in a superhero universe. Daredevil may have trained all major forms of combat and his dad was a boxer, but if you put him up against the Thing, his skill is dwarfed by the Thing's clobberin' abilities.

The Hulks stronger, but he's a brawler. He has no fighting skills, he just throws. At least the Thing knows how to fight, he just isnt as strong (went toe to toe with the Champion and the aliens were impressed with his fighting skills). Now that i'm thinking about it, Thor is an accomplished warrior with great fighting skills. It could be him. I guess Doomsday needs to be mentioned also. But yes, with the strength factor, the Hulk can probably punch harder.
Daredevil has trained with many different fighting skills, but isnt captain America considered the greatest hand to hand combat fighter in the world?

dont worry about boxing skill fellas.just the most powerful punch.for my money its superman coz of his combo of strength and speed. Are there any other guys with BOTH of those attributes in such abundance.
Sorry but i think i have to go with Thanos. As it is unsure what his base strength is he beat back the hulk pretty easily. And Odin
And superman is no where near as fast as flash. Flash can reach speeds near the speed of light, superman is only like as fast as a bullet.
The Hulk has plenty of fighting skills. He's been doing nothing but fight since he was created. He has cagey, clever manuevers and he knows how to use his size and strength. I don't know if he's a better fighter than the Thing-- the Thing doesn't have as much anger driving him, but not as much impairing him either-- but it should be noted that the Hulk is an excellent fighter when he has his mind in the right mode.

the combo of speed AND strength.Flash isnt strong. Supes is way faster than a speeding bullet.WAY faster and a punch thrown as fast as supes can throw it, with supes' strength behind it is gonna be more powerful than the flash. (power=strengthxspeed)
Yeah, he's been fighting since his conception, but almost 95% of his existance has been in the form of a near mindless beast. A being with the mind of an infant would have trouble retaining the skills from a previous battle im my opinion. I just dont think technique is the Hulks fortay. When he had the mind of Banner, I thought it was worse. Lets be honest, Bruce has been kicked to the curb so many times that he has little to no fighting skills. If the Thing had the Hulks strength (and it happened once), he'd be kicking his butt.
Thanos is a good choice, but remember, when he fought Odin, he was on the recieving end of that fight.

Look at the earliest issues of the Avengers. Obviously, no one knew how to fight in those days, but the point is, he evaded and outmaneuvered the Avengers when he wanted to. His fighting is more based on instinct. Keep in mind that there isn't just "Dumb Hulk," Gray Hulk," and "Smart Hulk." In the beginning, he was a brusque, cagey character who could articulate his thoughts and was smart enough to use sarcasm and semi-witty insults. I suppose this was more like Gray Hulk. The point is, he has an uncanny instinct for fighting, which is more than the Thing has, but the Thing's military training and love of a good brawl seems to be enough to at least meet the Hulk in a stalemate.
