I love these sort of questions. There hasn't been, to my knowledge a study of the hardest hitting MW's but if you want some idea of how MW's compare to HW's then have a look at this study I link to. To surmise it basically says that there isn't much difference at all in speed of punch, so that doesn't determine the difference in power very much. What matters was what they termed 'effective punch mass'. As you would guess a HW has a higher effective punch mass than a MW. The range of effective punch mass is only measured in mere kilos but quite clearly you could work out that the boxers with better technique were the ones who would be able to generate a higher effective mass by getting more of their body into their punch. HW's have more bodyweight so could get a higher proportion of that weight into the punch, leading to a higher effective mass. Anyway here's the study: http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/39/10/710
Problem is you are comparing yourselves to elite professional boxers. If you were both of a decent standard then you'd both punch to your potential power which is governed by your size. Sounds like the heavy weight has some severe technique issues that don't allow him to generate his highest effective mass. You may be at a higher skill level than him which accounts for the difference in power but when you get to elite levels the HW's have developed proper punch mechanics and so can punch harder than the equivalent MW.
Did you bother to read the study's I presented? The bigger you are the harder you can potentially punch but you can only achieve that if you have good punch technique. If his frame is the same as you then depending on his neck size he might be a similar punch resistance to you. Jeff Lacy was the hardest punching boxer on the 2000 US Olympic team so it shows that yes smaller guys can punch harder than bigger guys but other studies show a general trend that the bigger you are the heavier you punch. Julian Jackson was a massive puncher for a MW but I doubt he punches anywhere close to Earnie Shavers.
I'd say it's quite possible yes. If Jeff Lacy could punch harder than the SHW's and HW's on his team then I don't see why Julian couldn't punch harder than the average HW. But you are obviously aren't Julian Jackson.
I will. I first responded taking it as a serious question that the TS wanted some wisdom about the subject but then he revealed it as a pathetic ego stroking exercise.
that looks interesting, i'll look at it later. I still say it really isn't easy measuring power, too many variables so there will always be an element of mystery to the kayo blow.
