I thought about it for a moment, and it's pretty interesting for me, could a dude with best genes, the peak of height, muscle development et cetera et cetera be actually 9-B and match some animals like lions?
 
No. A human cannot go beyond Peak Human. Maybe our standards for 9-C should go up, but a peak human cannot be beyond our ranking of a Peak Human. Otherwise, our ranking would be incorrect.

We also have had the Composite Human (which is basically what you are talking about), and it was 9-C.
 
You kinda missed the point, I'm not talking about our standards or the stuff that was peak of what human already has reached, I'm talking about what potentially could be reached

For example a dude with everyday extremely hard body training, immensely good genes et cetera. Was there any known human like that already? Also there's adrenaline to that, which increases the strength of a human.
 
I don't know. But if the absolute peak of what a human can be is 9-B, then we should increase the standards for 9-B. Peak Human doesn't mean "the highest humans have a achieved". It mean "the highest a human can achieve".

I generally dislike the idea of street level. Like i get that it comes from street fighter level but at least call it martial level or whatever. Street level just sounds misleading, people may end up thinking it is 8-B cause street
I thought that street level was something like it in my first days lol, we should just call it as Peak human tier
 
Minor correction: Ngannou is an MMA fighter. Well, he is a boxer too, but he is an MMA fighter first and foremost. To give a bit more context, he is one of the hardest hitters in nowadays UFC, methinks.

In any case, I don't think so. Training every day won't actually make you stronger, if you dedicated every single second of you day to it. It will compromise your muscular integrity and very quickly break you down.

There have been people who trained every day of their life, of course. Rocky Marciano is a boxer who famously did that to have a godlike conditioning. However, he didn't spend the entire day, or even half of a day training (I think it was about one or two hours of daily, normal training, increased substantially in training camps and when he had a fight coming), and even then, his training made him quit about 10 years earlier than any normal boxer, simply because his body couldn't take it otherwise.

But okay, assuming every day training, as efficient and modernized as possible, and if we "froze" the current standards, as to not increase the 9-C requirement to match that theorical human - would we have a 9-B human?

I don't think so, and for several reasons that idk how to even express in english. The reason I wanna talk about the most is a bit hard to describe, but let's just say that the way biology and physics work would make this endeavour impossible.

The energy requirement for said being to function would be too much, and the amount of food to be consumed and processed would be too vast. Such a large output in joules would require some extreme bodily changes, including but not limited to molecular composition, density, the way muscles contract and expand, and so many other factors that would imply a massive change in biology, impossible to get through training and probably impossible in sheer density of energy/output of energy for that form of matter. There's also the fact that training gets exponentially less efficient as time goes on - skill, mentality and, to some degree, stamina all progress somewhat linearly, but the body "soft caps" quite quickly in regards to strength and durability and it keeps getting harder to progress by the day as you improve.

I could go on and on, but I don't think I can express myself very clearly here.

An interesting fact that may be another reason for this to be impossible is that that such a large amount of energy, concentrated in such a small volume, would probably make the being immune or incredibly hard to harm with normal weaponry, which sounds very weird in relation to real life.
 
Units represent a pound-force, so 160,000 units would be roughly 360 joules, taking into account the mean surface area of a male's fist -- 448 square centimeters.

The error I made when previously calculating the strength of a man's punch through the machine was that I forgot to include surface area in the equation.

Doubt it, first off, you're not supposed to use the entire fist's surface area, you're only supposed to take into account the frontal impact area. This would be calculated using the total width of your fingers and your fist's height from thumb to top of knuckle.

Second, the 160K value was from Joe Rogan's kick, the 129K value is from Ngannou's punch.

Third, in that exact article it states that Ngannou's punch is the same as a Ford Escort ramming you at top speed.

The Escort RS Cosworth has a top speed of 144 mph while also being heavier than the normal Escort models in America (Cosworth model is 1275 kg), 144 mph is 64.3738 m/s.

0.5*1275*64.3738^2= 2641791.1556055 J (Wall level)

Now, taking into fist impact area, mine is around 64 cm^2 (8 cm wide and 8 cm tall). That's 0.0064 m^2.

2641791*0.0064= 16907.4624 J (Wall level)

This is unfortunately not accurate enough because 1. I am a pretty small guy compared to Ngannou (Me being 1.76 m tall while he is a big, burly 1.93 m tall), and 2. his glove would likely add extra surface area.

I thought our tier naming was arbitrary and not literal?
Only the Tiers in the list of "arbitrarily named" qualify for that, which includes Tiers 9-A to 8-A, Low 7-C to Low 7-B, 7-A to Low 6-B and High 6-B.

Of course, they're like that due to their IRL energy yields being hard to determine.

Wow! The strongest man can punch walls!

So does that mean characters who are peak human have 9-B ratings?

Or is that only if they're implied to be above the average Peak Human.
