ive heard many people talkin about punch power and ive heard many different views. sum say its the weight of the fist, sum say its the speed of the punch, sum sayits the physicaly power of the guy.
if u say fist size it cant be coz there have been small fist guys with hard punches. if u say physicaly power then powerlifters shud be boxers which is false and if u say the speed, ali is a good definition of a boxer with speed but nowhere near best puncher. so wat cud it be?

Ask Manny Pacquiao.

I think natural punching power is just that...natural. It's about as easy to explain a guy who is a natural jump shooter in basketball or a RB's natural instinct and vision.

smaller fist size would increase power, if you have done any martial art you will know because their is more force per square cm. but in boxing you have gloves on anyway so i dont think it would matter. natural weight can be a factor, speed can be a factor but i would say bone density has a big effect too, look at fighters like pavlik, his punches are slow but when they connect can be devastating. and then take calzaghe, i know he wasnt ****ing people out but you can tell this guy had heavy hands, his shots were poor technique but still hurt.

It's technique. Did you ever seen that fight science episode on the history channel talking abou different fighting styles and their power. When it came to punching boxing won EASILY. The kinetic energy that accumulates from a straight right, when executed properly, which starts from your legs all the way through your body into your fist, can knock someone right the **** out. That's why someone might bash Paulie for being a **** puncher but if he hit you I bet you would be knocked into oblivion.

Legs.

Suspend yourself in a harnass 5 feet above air, and then try punching with any force.

It's the legs.
