Where does Wilder generate his power from?

[Kigali]

To answer the question:


Alabama steroids.

Who ya'll got at HW??

Ya'll need some Rican roids....weak mofos

[KingHippo]

He's got skinny chicken legs, so where does he generate his so called power from?

Fast twitch muscle fiber. Lots of it.

What power? He fought one borderline top 10 guy and went 12.

[Gillie]

I don't know but I remember asking myself the same question about Diego Corrales (rip). He would barely touch a guy and yet it would all be over in an instant.

You punch with your arms, not your legs. The legs add some to the power of a punch but the main power comes the shoulders and Wilder has powerful shoulders. His shoulders give his arms that speed and speed is power. If he turns his waist into the blow and pushes off his legs he has a powerful punch. Lots of very hard punchers had slim legs. Hearns, and Bob Foster were tall and slim with thin legs and were great punchers. Crawford doesn't have big legs either.

Core Strength he talked about working on Core Strength years ago.

We work hard in the gym. A lot of heavyweight guys aren't in shape when it's time to fight but I always come ready. To make sure my conditioning is up to scratch my coach gets me to do lots of uphill interval runs on the treadmill. Core strength is also critical to boxing so I often stand on one leg on a bosu and catch a medicine ball. For strength and power we do cleans, jerks and shoulder presses, often while wearing a weight vest. Our programme is all about multi-tasking.

While he is a lean guy especially his Legs, he has a Massive Back, Shoulders and Upper Torso overall

Even if his legs are skinny, he's still transferring energy from the floor up. Add to that his height, length and weight and you have enough variables to create a dangerous puncher.The leverage, explosiveness and technique ( I know I know, "windmill/LOL" the point is he knows how to use his size) seem to be there, so where his power comes from shouldn't really be a mystery IMO.

[Luilun]

Leverage he has long arms kind of like Tommy Hearns who had a similar built
