This is because, contrary to what many of the idiots on this forum who've never boxed think, punching power is 95% technique. Strength has very little to do with it.
So if Julian Jackson punches like Malignaggi he'll be featherfisted?
Technique is important but being born with the natural ability to KTFO opponents is the main ingredient in punching power.
Just like how some people can jump higher or run faster than others.
Not a good look, he looks skinny with weak arms, no power looks like the focusing on soeed
I think the opposite, he looks like the skinny Manny which beat the Cotto an de La hoya. Roach said they're focusing more on speed and it looks like that. P.s arm size has nothing to do with power
looks like he's going for speed. i prefer this over the more bulkier pac. a ko is far out of the picture so there's really no point in putting more weight on. pac needs to be light and quick. there's another picture where u can see pac's whole body and he does look skinnier compare to before.
I agree that big muscles don't mean punching power.
But I disagree that power is 95% technique. Otherwise Bradley and Malignaggi would punch harder. They are champs. They know technique.
It's more muscle type and heavy hands.
No, Bradley and Malignaggi are straight up arm punchers. Just because you know technically how you should punch it doesn't mean you will commit to it. For example, some fighters are excessively focused on fast combos and therefore don't put weight behind their punches. Also, defensively minded fighters tend not to put full weight behind their punches even if they can. Just because some is a champ doesn't mean they can do everything. Some 10 fight amateurs have better head movement than Antonio Margarito did for example. It comes down to physics. The power of a punch is determined by the kinetic energy of a punch when it connects. 0.5*mv^2 = KE. The m is technique, the v is speed. There have been fast and slow punchers historically that punch hard, but to punch hard you really do need the mass, which comes from technique.

Pac has a huge bone structure. He doesn't really look like he has that much muscle mass at all, but his wrist size is 8 inches. That's bigger than the average heavyweight.
Not looking ripped, but he doesn't really need to be at 147.
A lot of boxers are skinny. And since when did arm size affect strength? Bradley can't crack an egg with his big biceps.

Pics don't mean **** for how a fight will go. Pac is too skinny? lmao. Pictures mean nothing for how a fight will go, I don't care how ripped Pac or Floyd are.
