Can a professional heavy weight boxer hit harder than a polar bear?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
No, a bear can shatter a spine with a single blow. Keep in mind that force equals mass times acceleration, and a fully grown polar bear can weigh in the neighborhood of 1,500 pounds - that's WAY more mass than even the biggest boxer.

Employing science and technology, man can very well build a machine or robot that would not only match but surpass the strength and striking power of a polar bear. But developing a human, the hardest hitting professional heavyweight to match the striking power of a polar bear's paws, no way! Man can only struggle against but not subdue or overpower what is natural even with the aid of modern science and technology. Nature has equipped polar bear with such brute strength and striking power for its survival. Only in fiction, can science develop human with comparable power as in The Hulk and X-Men.

I've never been punched by a professional heavy weight boxer, so I can't compare it to the time I was punched by a polar bear, but man was that polar bear strong. I can't imagine a human having that kind of strength.

No, polar bear is 10 times bigger. The training a boxer has is not enough to make up that size difference.

Maybe not harder, but he'll LAND the damn punches, and dodge the bear's claws, most likely...I've never seen a person with skill against a bear, so I wouldn't know, but boxers are forces of nature, they're highly skilled...

Maybe you need to check that out for an experiment. Say you ask Klitscho to punch you on the stomach. The bear can wait, perhaps.

Are you so bored during your Summer break that you spent five minutes of your free time asking such a stupid question on Yahoo! Answers?

NO way.

Of course the bear's strenght is much bigger, but he doesn't have the brain power and coaches that help him perfect his technique. Could the boxer compensate for his lack of strength?
