Khan deadlifting 4 plates, lookin to sit down on his shots more? Garcia gettin KTFO!!

[Brother Jay]

well if he is doing quad/ham dominant lifts then there is an argument that it can help with his power considering power is generated from the legs.

You don't need heavy weights to build the type of athleticism needed to generate power from the legs.

Power lifting is for just that: lifting

Calisthenics and other non-weight exercises are fine for boxing.

James Kirkland is a weightlifter and it shows. It hasn't added to his power. Only to his strength. There's a big difference.

That's why Kirkland basically only arm punches.

Punching is a compound movement. The force is generated from the floor and is transferred up the body from the legs, through the core, through the upper body and then through the fist.

Compound lifts like deadlifts, squats, clean and press, etc. are perfect for boxing because they strengthen all the muscles involved in a punching movement. Assuming Khan is doing a weight that he can rep, keep good form, and explode through every rep a dead lift is one of the best lifting exercises a boxer can do.

Khan is gonna come into this fight with some david haye-esque strength, i feel sorry for Garcia.....

By David Haye esque strength do you mean he's going to run for 12 rounds?

This is completely wrong on all points. Punching power has nothing to do with how much weight you can curl, bench, press or otherwise lift.

There are plenty of weightlifters who can lift massive amounts of weight who couldn't hurt you with a clean shot, and plenty of scrawny guys who couldn't lift their own bodyweight who can KO a rhinoceros.

There are pleanty skinny guys witch NATURAL Power, but as I said before, Ortiz was never a puncher UNTIL he started weight training, look at what he did to Berto...You have to accept the fact that ur wrong, Why do u think people lift weights, for nothing?, To get big and weak?, No u get big and STRONG...It makes u strong at ANYTHING U have to do envolving ur arms, your dumb to even dissagree...Curling will increase your power OVER NIGHT, if ur dedicated to it, and Im a living witness...I was always weak and scrawny...I can curl ALLOT....When I hit someone in a past fight, I broke his cheekbones, teeth, cut his tongue on his teeth, cut his lip open in two different ways.....and bench pressing is a punching motion, DUH...You cant punch WITHOUT Ur bicept, but the more u curl, you will be a beast...I remember the football players at my school, getting into gang fights, dropping people with one punch....You need to get with the times old top, all that, "U punch with ur hip"...Ur hip is not connected to ur fist, ur biceps are...Get it together, and think before u type...and like I said before, Im a DEVESTATING Puncher...where did the power come from?...In ninth grade I weighed 120lbs, weakling, I can kill someone if I hit them in the wrong spot right about now!..Dont respond with that dumbshiet....by dumbshiet, I mean DISSAGREEING...Cuz this is common sense....Boxing guys try to complicate punching power...."U punch with ur hip, and ur legs"...it aint that complicated...weight lifting makes u stronger at ANYTHING U do, involving ur hands, arms, fist..Its like getting a metal pole and poking someone in the jaw with it...tie a brick to the pole, and it has extra weight, THEN poke someone with it, it will hurt...now thats SIMILAR to adding bicep muscle except, ur bicep is has POWER and force, that lunches the fist like a sling shot, or like a machine-like mechanism...learn about weight lifting before u say dumb stuff..."Weight lifting wont make u strong at all....it wont increase ur power at all"...Ur gonna get beat up real bad messing with a guy that can curl 65lbs....Your gonna get punched into a coma

See, one of u guys says power comes from ur abs, and core, someone else says it comes from ur legs, all of these ways to COMPLICATE power....No one is using common sense, just complex theories...its common sense, building ur STRENGTH, will increase ur STRENTH...Key word is STRENGTH...Strength=power, get it?...Guys not lifting weights, and getting weaker...they lifting them, and getting power, strength

[NChristo]

Stance is way to wide, leaning on his toes too much and like jaded said his grip is wrong, he's not deadlifting anything there, just holding the bar.

[SplitSecond]

Anyone thinking that lifting heavy weights have anything to do with punching power really shouldn't write about boxing anymore.

it does though, aslong as you dont do so much that it ruins your technique, strenght is as important in punching power as percision and timing, if not, more

[Frank Ducketts]

I hope Garcia beats his ass so that Khan has to rematch Prescott.
