Ok so you get different types of power agreed? You get explosive, and more like a slow one and more? What are the disadvages, and advantages for both? Thankyou.

disadvantages of explosive is when your in that fast motion u can miss easliy and sometimes go off balance

Theres not really that many variations.

You got the guys who can bang from nowhere. As in they are 1m away from you and make you feel the force.

Or there are the guys who can generate a lot of power from just twisting and swinging and having perfect timing.

Explosive power is like being able to push an object quickly. A lot of acceleration involved in generating enough force to do so.

Or just max power, guys that might not be able to punch fast but if they land they can move you.

Best thing to do is combine them. Explosive and max and start ripping through all the boxers in your club... then move onto a more regional/national scale.

YOU HAVE MAX STRENGTH. WHICH PERTAINS TO THE MAXIMUM FORCE THAT YOU CAN EXERT, ie HOW MUCH YOU CAN LIFT MAX.
THEN YOU HAVE STARTING STRENGTH, SPEED. HOW QUICK YOU CAN EXERT
YOU FIND A HARMONY OF THE TWO, YOU GET POWER.
IF YOU EXERT TOO MUCH SPEED IN RELATION TO MAX STRENGTH YOU GET FAST, BUT NOT HARD.
TOO MUCH MAX STRENGTH AND YOUR SPEED SUFFERS.
IT'S NOT DIFFERENT KINDS OF POWER ITS WHERE YOUR BALANCE IS
A BODY BUILDER CAN LIFT A LOT MORE THAN I CAN AS FAR AS WEIGHTS GO, BUT I AM MUCH FASTER AND PUNCHES HIT HARDER CAUSE MORE DAMAGE.
A TRACK STAR IS FASTER, BUT NOT AS STRONG AS I AM, I TAKE HIS PUNCHES. AND WHEN I DO CATCH HIM HURT HIM A LOT MORE.
YOU DON'T WANT MORE OF ONE THAN THE OTHER. YOU WANT A BALANCE OF BOTH. THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE DISADVANTAGES.

Power is the amount of energy u can put out in a period of time.Powerful boxers can exert a lot of energy in the shortest period of time. There arnt different types on power i disagree personally.

different types of power;
you have the slow punch that hits your head and just keeps going. ala butterbean
then you have explosive quick punches like tyson

someone once comapred foreman to tyson by saying tyson is like getting h it by a 100mph cadilac, foreman is like being hit by a 50mph mach truck!

seeing as explosive power is quicker it is obviously the choice however foreman type power means that punches hurt no matter how you hit

powerful punches use more energy. quick punches are used like a sting.
Mundine is king at balancing powerful and speed punches, therefore, conserves energy.

whats best for hitting the body with?

personally i believe quick punches without too much weight are most effective on the face whereas heavy handed slow blows are best for the body.

as an example alis punches wouldn't have been THAT effective to the body but shavers and foremans were killers

shavers and foreman dwarfed ali in terms of power, those guys were known for their power while ali was only known for the power in his right hand. they were sluggers whilst ali is a pure boxer, that right there tells you why foreman and shavers have heavier body shots than ali.

i have slow crushing power in my 'sunday punch'. it's an, ugly, wide big chopping right hook

precision.
