Ahh the layman is talking again

The karatepunch isn't retracted to the waist but in front of the chest, the wrist protects the solar plexus

Annd again you evade the point, the point being that you first claim to be better than others because they do straitline punches and then you claim you are better then others because You do straitline strikes

I didn't say Karate was better than boxing
I say that according to your reasoning karate is better because it has straitline punches
you think because you read some books that in a fight karatepunches travel from the waist, the elbow is positioned at the side of the waistline but the position of the hand depends on the fighting distance, the closer the higher

MT and Boxing telegaph the punches...maybe but then you react to that and catch the next one on you chin
BTW what's so telegraphic about a right cross? or a left jab? a right strait? ( hey, strait )
You base your theories on one punch of other arts and on top of that you have very limited knowledge about those
