Do guys with chicken legs generate more power?

[boxingfan91]

I'm a really tall guy with chicken legs and I think the power comes from leverage. People who have trained with me say I was stronger than they were expecting and the only thing I can come up with is that I've learned to use my whole body. I actually learned it by watching Tommy Hearns. Look at the way he put a little "extra" into every punch, twisting and using the rotation of his broad shoulders. Using the full body (including the legs) you can generate more force. The speed and accuracy has to be there though as you can't muscle your way through punches like some smaller guys can.

Look at this chicken leg, chicken head muda****a tryna compare himself to Hearns

Leverage and timing=power

Let's face it, Paulie Maliggnagi can have the perfect leverage and timing but he still had a lot trouble KO'ing dudes.

I'm no power generating expert but there doesn't seem to be any correlation between leg size and punching power.

In fact I have no clue wtf makes a good puncher. My first thought is form/pivoting but i've seen sloppy dudes who don't punch with really good form get crazy ko's.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is something in common with power punchers, physically, like a certain muscle group they have developed or something. Or maybe it's a certain amount of energy you have to use and not all boxers are able to generate such energy.

This. Hearns, diego coralles, roger mayweather had chicken legs. Tyson, hamed, pac ect. had yuge calfs. doesnt seem to be any real correlation

ya the long lean dudes can whip a punch better. think of the 1 punch KO's where dudes go stiff.

Julian Jackson

Tommy Hearns

Deontay WIlder

etc

it's like a shock. but they don't have as much body punch KO's. hardly any.



then you got guys like GGG and Joe Louis.... who are more clubbing punchers.


they don't have as devastating 1 punch KO's. but they have more body punch KO's.




this long wiry dude has a beautiful KO. he threw that punch like a pitch. would u say he's a harder puncher than GGG tho?

you obviously can't teach power. you are born with it either you have it or you don't.

You are not born with power lol, this isn't dragon ball z where you're born a low level saiyin or high class saiyin and **** lmfao, get the f#ck out of here with that born ****. Talking about I can't teach power, no one is talking about teaching power, obviously there are no experts here. Including you with your born bullsh#t.

Technique and muscle development is most likely where it comes from. Saying punchers are born with power is the equivalent of a person saying "god" created the universe and all of us lol. It's so lazy and unscientific.
