Aren't you guys amazed at how Tommy Fury has all those bro lift muscles and still punches like a feather?

I know but even with poor technique he should be able to muster better power by mass alone, one thinks.

"One" needs to go back to training then. Mass often comes at the expense of acceleration. If you don't know how to properly leverage your mass, it doesn't mean ****. I wrote a long post about it in one of the other sub forums.

His big brother looks like a tub of lard and can hit pretty darn good.

Mass doesn't come at any expense. It's all about genes and technique. You can do both and the best do. Tommy does neither.

Ngannou has giant arms and still punches very fast.

These days yeah....Tyson Fury had a special power coach teaching him how to not fall over on his right hand.

Timothy Bradley was yolked too, and he couldn't punch either

You either have power naturally, or you don't. It's just one of those things tbh

Yeah all that muscle is just for show. But it probably works against him

His technique is bad. Doesn't sit down on his punches, weight transfer and acceleration are bad, etc. Muscles frequently don't mean power. It's gotta be the right kind of muscle and trained the right way. Shouldn't be a surprise, TBH, if you've either watched sufficient boxing or have a sufficient level of understanding of power generation. Why do you even care about Tommy Fury? It's not like his career is going anywhere. Says a lot that Jake Paul is his most notable opponent, and he's primarily known for being in a TV show, not for his boxing.

- - Utuber Jake Paul knocked him down.

Ought to take a mop up fight and retire undefeated to leverage his ill begotten Paul purse. Otherwise, he's how many KO losses accumulated before he can smell the daisies to leave a sport he's poorly suited for?

It's embarassing if he's boxed since he's a kid. He fights like some high roller off the English pub. His offense is completely home cooked, consisting of bullrushing in with arm punches.

I believe power is strength+speed=power. Look at dudes at your local gym that are jacked but can't lift heavy weights for ****. Perhaps they're more about high reps for the ripped look. It looks great for the ladies, but he might as well be a lady in a gym full of men.

On the other hand, you got guys not looking ripped or cut up to death and they're lifting houses (Ah hem). The thing is, you can't just be strong (strength) and lack speed. You need the speed to move the strength to generate the powa.

Some guys got more strength naturally than others. If you lack it, there are ways to supplement to build it up. Ultimately, you need to lift heavier though to get it up. The problem in boxing is you need the balance because you also really need speed.

As a puncher I can confirm this... There is a big correlation between strength and punching power. When I'm off training completely, I lose all My strength,.and curiously, My power goes bad too.

ANd strenght is tightly linked to explosive muscle fibers so there is that connection too.
