Answer 4

Definitely, but not at all times...

You can kill if the victim is so weak

or the puncher is so strong especially if you're a boxer....

Answer 5

That whole Palm to the nose thing is a big myth, I think originating in a Chuck Norris or Bruce Lee flick.

The nose is made out of cartilage, not bone, the cartilage would shatter and knock him out cold, but actually killing him? no... I mean not more then any other big punch to the head could.

Answer 6

Yes, but it would take a tremendous amount of force. Roughly the equivalent of a small car going at 35 mph. Deaths in the boxing ring are more caused by cross punches which dislodge the brain from the lining.
