    Trinidad's power

    Forget about the handwraps nonsense and answer this seriously. Have you ever seen someone so strong but at the same time so thin or in other words, not strong looking. I am amazed by Trinidad's power because it's freakish. Keep in mind that this is a guy who started his career at 140 pounds and boxed at 126 or something as an amateur.Then, he started to knock out guys at 154 and 160. Any thoughts?

      Agree, Trinidad is freakishly strong. Kostya is also much stronger than he looks imo

          Yeah, I knew of a guy maybe stronger than that. His name was Thomas Hearns.

            Throughout history alot of the big punchers were thin in size like Hearns and Jackson.

              Hearns was not small. He had the upper body of a heavyweight. The only reason he didn't way more is because he had boney legs.

                There was an even scrawnier, weaker looking boxer who hit even harder on a pound for pound basis than Felix Trinidad. His name was Jimmy Wilde. Pale, soft looking, and with the build of an athletic 6 year old, he was one of the sport's all time greats in terms of raw punching power.
