Default another question about physics

since posting about physics is cool today, and I have wondered this for a while.

It is a punching fight. One guy has more momentum, the other guy has more energy but has lower momentum in his punches. Whose punch will hurt more?

Only the punch that strikes you, there is no proof for sympathetic pain.

If by "lower" you mean "in the nuts", yea, that one.

"Hurt" depends more on force, or dP/dt. The greater momentum will 'hurt' more.

Don't different methods of punching transfer different amounts of energy to the target? Thus, there is insufficient information to answer this.
