one punch knockout power = wide shoulders, wide back

[Silencers]

A lot of big punchers have wide shoulders and backs but it's also about technique.

If you hit the bag really hard for the first time, you'll notice the next morning your shoulders and back are what's most sore.

Contrary to popular belief, big arm muscles does not mean big puncher. At all. It's all about shoulders, back, and torso.

You forgot Legs. Legs area huge part of punching power

I'm not too sure about legs anymore, I know they're involved a lot and I think it's more on a boxer knowing HOW to use the legs such as tyson as he explodes upwards. But punchers such as Hearns, McClellan etc all have very weedy legs!

Hearns had big thighs, McClellan had pretty big thighs as well.

Mark Breland was a power puncher with sticks for legs though.

i know he's never been a one punch knockout artist but Margarito has some scarily skinny thighs! 18 inches!!!

You're right. When I put torso, I was meaning lower body.

Punching power begins with the stance, legs, pushing off the back foot, hips and turning over the punch correctly. Just as important is grip strength as a fighter should have a hard fist upon impact.

Cintron stands out in my mind, but really it comes down to timing, any pro boxer can hit hard enough to knock someone out..even Paulie..he's just to afraid to really sink his fist in.

You just need to hit the person when they don't see it coming.

This thread is sorta of pointless though because almost all boxers have wide shoulders and broad backs.

Hearns had big thighs, McClellan had pretty big thighs as well.

Mark Breland was a power puncher with sticks for legs though.

Hearns didn't have big thighs for most of his Career, unless you mean later on.

Hearns power came from the velocity he threw it at. Punching power could come from a strong back etc, but KO power is a thing on its own, it can be strength or speed that creates it.

Ricardo Torres is built like a whippet and hits like a mule.
