Sorry, didn't read your reply before I wrote mine.

Mine was more general, but the more muscles that get involved the more power there is. That is why they say punchers are born not just anyone can make their muscles work in that fashion, true power is a gift from god.

[..WaRSpencE..]

That's what I've been saying..those lats are AMAZING..when he spreads them it looks like he's about to take off!..

I do lateral pulldowns with the hope and dreams to have half those lats!..LMAO!.

[alexpz]

he added 2 lbs of muscles in his legs. hahaha

[onedream722]

just like a baseball player gets swinging power from his legs and hips so to does a boxer...they both look in tremendous shape

[The Gambler1981]

And PACS LEGS are HUGE!

Yes he does have some big legs, his thighs were looking extra big did not see his calves though.

Can't say it much better than that. I think (and some will disagree) that true, bone-crushing power, is something you're born with, not taught, and I believe its origin is a natural knack or talent to know how to best use the leverage you have to deliver maximum power in a punch. Can't be learned, has to be genetic, and either you have it, or you don't, from the time you first lace 'em up. Mediocre punchers can improve somewhat, but they never seem to develop the serious **** you see in natural punchers.

Power comes from different sources. Some fighters are just born with freakish power, heavy hands or whatever, while others get it through proper technique, getting the right leverage. And if even if you lack a sort of "raw power", you can do more damage by hitting guys at the perfect time from angles they can't see coming.

With Pacquiao, I think much of it comes from the legs. I'd look at his unofficial fight night weights, usually now it's in the mid to high 140s, and wonder where the weight is coming from. Despite being really cut, he doesn't have that real stocky frame like a Meldrick Taylor or Andre Berto, and he's short. Then you look at his legs.

[DonTaseMeBrah]

His calf muscles are huge. You usually see those in nba players.

[myCoCainE]

I actually think that the Pacman's power comes from his Serratus Anterior muscles or in Layman's term, boxer muscles. And it's the most prominent muscles you can find when he flexes.
