If your looking at venom the cobra is more dangerous as the boa and pythons do not use venom as they are constrictors. Between the 2 constrictors i would say normally a boa would be more dangerous then a python as it gets bigger. That is unless your talking about a Burmese python which is the worlds longest snake (most think anacondas are but they are just the fattest).

What is more dangerous a king cobra or a black widow?

A cobra can deliver a lot more venom in its bite than a black
widow can and comes into contact with more people in asia, so i
would say the cobra is more dangerous. However the black widows
venom is reported to be much more toxic than the venom of a cobra
but a black widow cant deleiver much venom in its bite as its fangs
are too small to usually inject the lethal amount of venom.

Why the black mamba is has more powerful venom than the king cobra?

The King Cobras size alllows it to inject bigger quantities of
venom, a Black Mambas venom may be more powerful but the King Cobra
can kill up to five times faster than the Black Mamba. So because
of its size and the amount of venom the King Cobra injects in a
single bite the King Cobra doesn't need powerful venom. Single bite
from a King Cobra can inject 6-7 ml of venom, single bite from a
Black Mamba injects about 100-120 mg of venom.
