    Yes muscle is included, but also measuring the back from shoulder to shoulder trying to exclude muscles, there are differences in size, for example Corrales and Tyson have the same height but different shoulder to shoulder distance, so Tyson has both more bone mass and muscle mass.

      well in that case yes. Because the taller fighter has an leverage advantage. Objects like the arm that are further away from the fulkram point generate more velocity I suppose. Only if you are being highly technical.

        Doo, I think you watched Corrales Castillo too much!
        Thanks, although Tyson is included in my list if you see the middle of the post. Pacman may be strong but less strong than Morales, this is one example I put. Don't know about Tszyu, but he may be wider than others or some other reasons.

          have always believed u either born or not born with punching power.Look at Jimmy Wilde, who some consider one of the best punchers of all time and he was a flyweight champ.[/QUOTE]
          he know what he talkin bout.. nice avatar too man.. if a tall and short fighter is blessed with it then the smaller fighter usually more dangerous more leverage with legs punching up then down..also read up is more natural punching motion

            I dunno about Morales bein stronger than Pac. Pac dropped Barrera like crazy and KOed him and Morales couldn't even floor Barrera.

              I think the only power punch that Pacman shot was in the first round to the body. All the others were normal punches, and Morales threw strong punches in most rounds.

              Barrera had some problems before that fight, he wasn't concentrated like in others.

                Not to get into the Morales and Pac debut but Pac is a bigger puncher. Morales just has a style that will always to difficult for him and a great chin. (thats why he was not rocked to much by Pac in the fight)

                  i think its the bone mass, tyson hits much harder than holyfield but holyfield got more muscul than tyson. no matter how much and hard holyfield train he will never hit as hard as tyson. holyfield was blowing up from crusierweight so he didnt had the natural body and bone mass as tyson.

                    One thing I've never understood about some boxers, is they only seem to train their upper body. I've seen pics of Holyfield where his shoulders and arms looked huge, but his legs look like twigs. Tyson on the other hand, has reasonably big arms(but short) and shoulders, but smaller than most heavyweights. He does have MASSIVE legs. Tyson throws a punch with his whole body, and he can put those legs into it. It's like throwing in baseball. You don't throw solely with your arm; You throw with your entire body. So why don't more boxers balance their muscle and build stronger legs? The guys at the lower weight-classes seem to be a little more balanced muscle-wise, at least.

                      good observation. At the lower division, Pacquiao has the biggest legs. Maybe that explains his power? I don't know!
