Cus D'amato claimed guys with my skeleton structure (Hearns) punch the hardest. Was he right?

    Cus felt it was an edge in hips and arms even though the wrists were skinny. He felt they rotated better.

      You're not saying you have Hearns frame do you??

      To answer your question =---> I used to spar a guy with Hearns frame that fought pro 1-2 classes under me. I think I got the better of him once out of six, he had 10 years of experience over me though so.

      I can't say if it was his frame or not, what I can say he was a master at the craft. Perfect form, perfect punches, perfect snap, great range, had a variety of excellent trainers. When he got on the bag people stopped and watched.
      I've seen enough. This guy is the new Hearns. Check Nash's sig. He's straight in at number 8 P4P. Nash out.

        But you agree that I can **** and that Cus maybe had a point? He said guys with skinny wrist, tall, lanky, were the most dangerous punchers.

            Don't downplay yourself. Check out the rest of the Great Nash's list. You are in good company there. Nash out.

              Btw, usyk is easy work for Fury. You agree with me on that right? There's nothing he can threaten him with.

                Punching power comes from the tendons and ligaments that connect your muscles and bones. Knowing how to throw your punches from foot through the hip and shoulder and getting full torque on them in a fast snapping motion takes a lot of practice. Even then, some guys have it and some guys don’t. Tyson, Foreman and Hearns all had different types of punching power.

                  But of the types, Cus felt those with skinny physiques were more dangerous cause they could twist their hips more. Is there any truth to that?

                    Yes. Fury has been my fave fighter since 2011, he was only a decent fighter then in all honesty, but I loved his personality and desire in the ring. He's truly elite now and an ATG. He will outbox Usyk before knocking him out at some point. Nash out.
