How strong are boxers?

[David_Rosenberg]

I've been wondering. How strong are boxers? You see guys like Thurman and Maidana who aren't exactly that much ripped but they're powerful. Then you have guys like Pacquiao who are ripped and can punch but at the same time can't (idk how that works). Then There's people like Floyd who are insanely cut but have feather fisted slap boxing punches. Then there's guys like Canelo who are both physically strong and have power. But the question here is - how strong are boxers? Like how much can they lift, bench press and stuff like that. I've seen fighters who are weak as $#!+ and can punch, and fighters who are ripped as fµ©k but can't punch. Again the question is how strong are these guys.

Not really.

They have to starve themselves to make weight. Which is why they're skinny.

Lifting weights and having a ripped physique don't have a lot to do with punching power.

compared loosely....
strength = type 1 fibre (literally, slow, but exert a lot of force over loong timeee, resistance if u will)
power = type 2 fibre (fast, "snappy", exerts force over a very short amount of time)

so..
yeah..
power also depends on technique.
and all of this talk also depends on how each individual is able to activate all their muscles optimally

Zero to do with fist fighting.

Boxing is about power to weight ratio and lasting for 36 minutes of fighting against your equal weight class , if your low power you need to be big at the weight if your high power you can fight heavier .

Its not a deadlift that lasts 10 seconds and its not a marathon lasting 2 hours , blend the the two right and you have the perfect power to weight ratio for 12 rnds of boxing .

This. All about leverage, rotation of hips and technique to generate power.

Of course they lift.

But they don't eat enough to gain mass. If they did...they'd be fighting guys 5' taller WHO in turn are a starved version of the class they are avoiding.

Its all about being BIG for your weight class. Unless you're a 200+ pound heavy.....best shrink and fight midgets.
