Naseem Hamed's Power. Where did it come from?

This might sound off but I know someone close to him back when he was active, they were of the same heritage. Naz use to come and visit us in brick lane back then, he swear that Naz had Yemeni Voodoo placed in both his hands, that all he needs to do was land on his opponents. How far is the truth in that? I really cannot tell you. I can....fuuking none

Hamed, one of the hardest punchers in boxing history pound for pound, did not look like he possessed alot of power as he was not muscular or even broad. So where did his power come from? Did he lift weights? Have good leverage/technique? Or was his training method unique in developing his power? Hamed was a freak. He looked like he shouldn't be able to crack an egg, but had dynamite in both fists. I think you're born with it.

It wasnt from his thick legs, because his feet were off the ground when he threw.

Ligament/tendon flexibility/strength and speed. He'd increase the range of the punch at the last moment at the shoulder joint.

Looks don't tell you anything about how hard a man can punch. Some very muscular guys can't hit hard and some guys who are not muscular hit very hard. It comes down to how fast they can throw the blows and how much body weight they can put into the punches. Fast hands and proper punching form does the trick and he had both.

Natural thing that can be slightly supplanted by proper form, training, etc.

Roid Jones and Shane Mosley were both speed + power guys. They were prolly on the same gear! :rofl: Shouldn’t be Roid Mosley as well

Power is a natural thing Some men have it Some dont Look at malignalli for instance Or Bradley who’s buff but can’t crack an egg

I always thought floyd had decent power mixed with speed Watch the hatton fight Ricky's head was just bouncing and bouncing from the sharp and powerful hooks Or look at foremans power even now as old as he is I would not like to feel that mans punch anywhere Speed can be improved and worked on I dont think that comes as natural as power does Plus theres different types of power most recently people are comparing fury and AJ And I been saying I would rather take AJs one bang than a fury thud punch Roid Jones and Shane Mosley were both speed + power guys. They were prolly on the same gear! :rofl:

It came from Allah! The Prince got exposed once he left England, he was too flawed.

Good point. What about speed? Is that also something natural? There are also fighters that some fans may say have natural power but others disagree. Floyd Mayweather is the best example in this case. Claimed by some fans to have decent power others say he has no power.

Wonder how strong he was? Bench press wise
