Could a skinny ***** like soulja boy knock out a HW like kimbo?

thing is tho. when does size come into play? a rabbit can't knock out a hyena. its just too small, too weak. the mass of the dog can absorb everything something as light as a rabbit could throw.
my boy basically is saying that the human skull is designed in a faulty way to where there is a nerve just to the side of the chin (around where your lower premolars are) that can put people to sleep...which is true.
however, with that said, I think physics must come into play some where. can a welterweight knock out a HW....yea I could see that, I could see GSP getting a clean shot on Frank Mir and putting him to bed, but I highly doubt Jose Aldo could put Lesnar to sleep with even a clean jab to the nerve. at some point, greater mass should be able to absorb much lighter mass despite velocity.

As one of the only people in this thread who trained as a boxer, i can tell you that a minimum weight fighter with at least 3-5 years experience is not losing a 1 on 1 with ANYONE who isnt trained themselves.
Ive seen cold ass knockouts from dudes training at bantamweights with light heavies and higher from dudes trying to test their mettle. I myself was a lightweight (130-135).
When you are trained you see the punches before they come, you use your body to put your weight into a punch. This isnt something that comes natrually, someone who knows it will see your lazy ass arm punch right hand a mile away and knock someone the fukk out.
Once i started boxing at 13, i never lost a fight ever again, im serious. i been jumped, i been knocked clean out, but a civilian fight? i never lost one and havent since.
anyone whos trained is winning 99 percent of the time. there is a reason why old ass champs still knock young nikkas out when they are 80
It's science. Just a question of mass vs force.
Science of a Knockout in Boxing - Sports Science Boxer Knockout - Popular Mechanics
Right jab, left hook, right jab, and then ... bam! Knockout.
There is nothing more exhilarating for a boxing audience than to see a fighter hit the mat in a knockout. But being on the losing end of a KO punch can damage a lot more than a pugilist's pride—research suggests that the blows that cause knockouts can be debilitating to a boxer's short and long-term health. Repeated blows to the brain can cause chronic damage such as personality changes and dementia. If the punches have enough impact to cause uncontrollable brain swelling or hemorrhage, the fighter could even die.
So what causes a knockout? Concussions, and lots of them. While it often seems as though the effect is caused by a single well-placed shot, it is usually the result of many quick punches. Each punch creates a concussion (technically defined as any head injury that causes a disruption of neurological function), and each concussion brings the boxer closer to a state of darkness.
Here's how it happens: The body contains dissolved sodium, potassium and calcium, collectively known as electrolytes, which are responsible for conducting impulses along neurons. Every time a fighter receives a blow to a nerve, potassium leaves the cell and calcium rushes in, destabilizing the electrolyte balance, while the brain does all it can to keep these levels in balance. With each successive blow, this balance becomes harder and harder to maintain, and more and more energy must be spent in the process. When the body reaches the point where the damage outweighs the body's ability to repair itself, the brain shuts down to conserve enough energy to fix the injured neurons at a later point.
"After a brain injury, the heart must supply sufficient blood flow for the brain to repair itself. If the demand outweighs the supply the brain then shuts down and leads to an eventual loss of consciousness," says Anthony Alessi, M.D., a neurologist and ringside physician for the Connecticut State Boxing Commission. "That's when I know to end the match, because if we keep going the fighter is going to die."
Surprisingly, the boxer's feet are often the first clear signal that he is on the verge of being knocked out. When the neural networks that emanate from the cerebellum (the part of the brain responsible for coordinating motor activity) are disrupted by a concussion, a fighter loses his ability to coordinate foot movements.
"They become flat-footed, which is the inability to adjust. Boxers can't move forward or backward quickly," Alessi says. "As you watch their feet, you realize that the same lack of coordination is going on in their upper extremities in their hands. And eventually they are unable to defend themselves."
Once their feet start to go, they are often just a single punch away from a knockout.

anything is possible, better question is is it probable? 
all things being equal, and untrained dude who's 150lb knocking out a 220+ guy would be unlikely. the smaller guy could probably daze the bigger guy, but he better have his track shoes on after that cause he's probably gonna get rag dolled.

Bodyweight has no effect on your ability to take a punch and there's no such thing as a KO nerve. I'm pretty sure a KO is the result of your brain bouncing around in your head and hitting the inside of your skull. Could be wrong on that one though.

This. it's all about your weight, balance, seeing the punch, and reacting accordingly ("counter puncher's" know what I'm talking about). Now, there is no way I could see Soulja Boy being able to do that against Kimbo. I imagine him swinging wildly, no balance, just throwing
We used to "chin check" in our gym. If you were shadow boxing, or hitting the weight bag and didn't have your chin tucked, anyone jumping rope, hitting the speed bagg,or come from running laps could walk up and lightly jab your chin. Then you would have to run 4 laps outside. After about 2 weeks your chin stayed tucked, even at home
y u bringing up old shyt?
