What is the average strength in a punch?

Question

For a physics experiment I need to know what is the average strength in a human punch

Answer 1

They Can Break  A Paper bag I betcha

Answer 2

punching power is completely unique, but the average punching power of a heavyweight boxer (210-230 lbs.) is around 700 pounds per square inch, with that figure going down as weight goes down

Answer 3

It would probably be quite hard to find the "average" strength given the different weight divisions, but when I saw your question this immediately came into my head...

Last year scientists at Swansea University (in Wales, UK) measured cruiserweight Enzo Maccirinelli's punch power. The article below should give you some idea how the force may be measured, and what gives a punch power or force.

Answer 4

there is no average punch strength. you would have to search more specifically for an average punch strength based on weight class. They make a comment about this in the rocky movie with the Russian guy concerning the average punching power of a heavyweight. I'm not sure if that was correct (probably not) but good luck in your search. Maybe try asking a boxing gym
