Having broad shoulders or longer arm length?

i think its more to do with leverage you can get into your punches, also watch percentage of muscle fibres you have. I don't think that a certain appearance punches harder than another.

longer arms = more powerful straight punches
shorter arms = more powerful hooks

it does not make a difference what so ever,look at marciano he had the shortest reach of any heavyweight champ and he is considered and recognized has a power house,and look at some of these big studs that walk in the ring with their arms bulging and their shoulders the size of a small mountain,and yet they seem to all get pummeled because they are slow,:boxing:

Having thunder thighs.

thunder thighs,will slow you down,it is good to have average thighs that are in proportion with your shoulders and your biceps,:boxing:

what kind of muscle fiber?

what kind of muscle fiber?

I believe it is fast twitch muscle fibers that generate more (explosive) power than slow twitch fibers

i suppose having more fast twitch fibres would mean more power, but i'm no expert on the subject.

how to develop fast twitch muscle then? does weight lifting improve it?

its genetically determined, you are born with a certain amount of fast twitch fibres and slow twitch ones, hence why we have sprinters and marathon runners.

You can train them to a certain extent, in that you can become more explosive using plyometrics and explosive forms of weigthlifting.

Shorter stockier types with thick legs and torso's are generally able to get more leverage into punches like hooks and uppercuts (case in point: Mike Tyson)

Long, tall types with long arms are able to get more leverage into the long straight punches (Tommy Hearns)

Having broad shoulders or longer arm length?

well i think the power of the punch is the snap and weight distribution from your legs....but i agree with right cross if anything having broad shoulders helps more than having longer arms :boxing:
