What contributes to punching power?

[CiganoBoxer]

The legs, all about how you shift your weight and ofcourse you need to have a strong back

You know i once was reading a top boxing magazine and they were talking to Emanuel Stewart from the Kronk gym,they was asking him lots of different things about lots of different fighters that hed trained over the years like Lennox Lewis and Tommy Hearns etc They asked him who was the hardest puncher he had ever held the pads for ,i was shocked when he replied : Naseem Hamed ! No question!
He then went on to say that Naz had the hardest punch he had ever seen...espeicaly considering his size !
Naz had huge legs if i recall so i would say legs must help natural power to some degree !

Naz punches harder than Lewis and Hearns?

Well thats what i thought when i read it ......i think he must of ment in p4p sense !

Have you all noticed that many of the great punchers have been prone to get knocked down or hurt themselves. I find this a bit ironic. Do you all think this is coincidental or is there a reason for it?

Could it be that they put themselves in harms way as they are trying to land the big shots?

[Mistadobalina]

legs are definitely fundamental to power-punchers that follow the textbook. but you also must account for guys like roy jones and hamed who could knock people out while there feet weren't even planted. really i do believe alot of it has to do with range of motion in the shoulders, as those guys had piston like punches that had more snap than other boxers.

Jack Dempsey would disagree with that, here's what he had to say

Hey, I like that. Gives me something to think about.

Technique+Speed+Size

everyone is basically just giving different variations of my post.

[KostyaTszyu44]

Depends

Technique, timing, and accuracy can play a big part, guys like Tszyu and hearns drew a lot of their power from this, speed can be power too, guys like RJJ have shown us this

then you have vicious punchers who rely wholly on raw natural power like jackson, shavers, and foreman
