If you don't think karate can teach you how to strike with great skill, do a little research on Mas Oyama and let me know of any boxers that did that on a regular basis


This sounds fishy:

Oyama tested himself in a kumite, a progression of fights, each lasting two minutes, and each after the featured participant wins. Oyama devised the 100-man kumite which he went on to complete three times in a row over the course of three days.[5]

He was also known for fighting bulls bare-handed. In his lifetime, he battled 52 bulls, three of which were purportedly killed instantly with one strike, earning him the nickname of "Godhand". Many martial artists believe that the bulls he beat were at a disadvantage, because they were tamed and tied with nose rings and rope when Mas Oyama fought them.

There is video backing up his bull fights. In one he can be seen breaking the bulls horn off with one strike. Also, the kumite is a real thing. It is not like the kumite you probably saw on Blood Sport though. They just used the name kumite for that movie.
