This National Geographic video confirms the legend of the one punch knockout and shows the anatomy of what happens to the body when you are punched that hard. The toughest punch belongs to boxing, not martial arts.

     You guys are morons. The narrator's line directly relates to the power generated. If you put the same acceleration on a larger object, and get it to the same speed, its going to exert a greater force. A bigger guy, bigger arms, bigger fist, same foot -> hip -> arm -> face acceleration = more pain.

    the brain hits at the front first, not the back.. The skull gets hit backwards while the brain stays put, hitting the frontal lobe against the skull. then the brain slides backwards while the skull decreases speed, hitting the parietal lobe against the back of the skull.

     Wrong: Size doesn't matter. How many times have you seen big Mike Tyson-like boxers try to knockout average people but never succeeded in doing so. It's because muscular strength has nothing to do with the power of your punch. Surely, it can only enhance your dynamic performance but alone it doesn't do squat. The real secret behind a power punch lies in it's impetus and speed. When doing a straight punch you have to snap your fist forward starting from your hips in a whipping motion. Want proof? Bruce Lee.

      @BubbafishSize does matter, you can't take a few cases and use them as your only arguement. In GENERAL size matters. David may have taken out Goliath but most of the time, Goliath wins. Simple physics. If size doesnt matter, then try crashing a remote controlled car into a bus and see how right you are. Want proof? Isaac Newton

      @BubbafishYeah, but all things equal, skill-wise, the bigger person hits harder. That's just how it works. Yes, technique can off-set strength, but when everything else is equal, size does matter. Are you stupid? Do I want proof? Yeah, I want proof. Take Bruce Lee and make him 100lbs heavier with the same skill level and physical conditioning, and guess what? He'll hit harder.

      @Bubbafishno a bigger person doesnt always take out a smaller dude cause the dude could be a fat ass that doesnt excersise

      @Twill0986Fight quest is shit, its only funny cos you get to see the bald guy get his ass kicked every week by different people from around the world and then the dweeby guy who obviously doesnt want to be there but just wants to be on TV gets completely raped.

    FAKE!: That is so fake. No way can you peel off someones skin, expose their muscles, bones and brain and expect them to survive let alone throw a punch! Sorry, I just had to. That was for all the dumb asses who think every video on Break is fake. Gimme a break tards! Keep up the great work Break, yeah even the fake videos too.

    ferdw is right-especially savat(sp?): but yah, they got alot of stuff wrong, in the last portion of the vid the cgi guy only bend his knees a fraction of what is real, then as he delivers the punch hir front know is locked, wtf is that. and no boxing doesnt own the record for hardest single punch!

      @losermcbumWrong? About what??: This CGI was developed from motion capture footage recorded when that dude threw a 1000 pound punch. Lets say the CGI was off a little, it doesn't matter. Everything the narrator was saying was 100%. And at what point of the video did the narrator say that boxing owns the record for the hardest single punch???
