Bradlee has great abs but that is not exactly what I mean by "core", which to me includes the groin and adductor muscles of the thigh anyhow which produce the torque for the punch.
Massively built legs do not equate to a massive punch.
Look at Wilder for an obvious example of that!

It's all mechanics. Guys with strong arms in baseball and football aren't necessarily strong, they just know how to coordinate their body to generate maximum torque.

So where exactly does it come from? Core, Legs, Muscles?
I think it's a combination of bone density and good punching technique

And I think Wilder's power is vastly overrated. I think all of his opponents have been stopped at some point in their career and 99% of them were journeymen or tomato cans.
I have no doubt that Wlad would've stopped Stiverne. Thats real power.
Heres a good pic of how ripped his calves are

You can't train to have the kind of power that Golovkin, Kovalev or Matthyssee have. Those guys were born to fight.
