How can you have speed and not power? Force=MassXAcceleration, meaning the faster your strike, the more power you can generate.

Steering and breaks pretty much.

There's a lot more to human movement dynamics than massXacceleration.

A jab is not a powerful punch it is most likely the fastest punch in a boxer has in his tool box as it is thrown like a whip very loose. An over hand punch is slower than a jab but there is more torque used in it. So yes there is speed but the punches are or at least look to be flimsy. Force=strengthXacceleration in the case of humans. A person who does not know how to throw his body into his punches will only produce a weaker punch compared to someone who does.

Everyone says F=MA and leaves it at that. That's junior high school level physics. I know, I teach junior high school science. And I've taken several biomechanics courses, including two at the graduate level.
F=MA in this and just about every other context barely scratches the surface.

Was that his KO punch? Define "best punch."

It's his technique that is impressive, not his speed, which is just "really good" and very far from "the best" in any standard.

Go have someone hit you with a jab in the arm, then have them use an over hand on your arm you should feel a lot more pain.
A jab is important used to make distance, set up punches, throw the other guys timing off etc etc, but having a fast jab is only one tool, it's a boxers bread and butter but with out meat and potatoes you aren't going to get full on it.

The study isn't exactly what we're talking about here, and I actually found the preliminary background information much more relevant than the study itself. But the study does go into mathematically calculating the force of a punch as well as the effective mass of the punch.

For anyone who thinks it's as simple as F=MA, scroll down to the section titled "Calculation of head translational and rotational acceleration" and calculation of punching force" sections of the study Steve linked to. I'll link to it too...

What are you talking about? It says
I clearly see a F, an equal sign, a M and an A. And the F is on the opposite side of the equal sign than the M and A. Pretty sure you just thwarted yourself with your own link.

Exactly. It's interesting to note that the fist velocity was about the same for everyone, skilled or not. But the effective mass of the fist was a matter of skill.

I believe this all just translates to "Wǒ gěi nǐ wǒ de quántóu" (I give you my fist) 
One of the best backfists in the business. So much fun to watch.

I told you the study wasn't as relevant as the background. Lol.
