One other thing. I've been hit by amateur boxers before who weighed significantly less than me and you're grossly underestimating the amount of power that a well-trained punch can have. That isn't even mentioning the difference in your handspeed.

Truth. I think almost everybody underestimates how hard a good boxer can really hit, and how far above ordinary people and even well trained athletes that really is.

This brings to mind a very highly regarded tae kwon do teacher named Hee Il Cho. His spinning flying kicks were so powerful he could literally split heavy bags in half with them. George Foreman could do that with his FISTS.
