    Naseem Hamed's Power. Where did it come from?

    Hamed, one of the hardest punchers in boxing history pound for pound, did not look like he possessed alot of power as he was not muscular or even broad. So where did his power come from? Did he lift weights? Have good leverage/technique? Or was his training method unique in developing his power?

    Power is a natural thing

    Some men have it

    Some dont

    Look at malignalli for instance

        Literally this... Hamed was just a naturally freakish puncher.

          Looks and physical appearance doesn't mean much.
          Kovalev looks slim and doesn't really have muscle, but is a hell of a puncher.

          Other fighters who look herculean struggle to put people down.

          A devastating punch is due to sharpness and snap, if I try to put it in words. Without it, it's just torque which makes it more of a push.

            Good point. What about speed? Is that also something natural? There are also fighters that some fans may say have natural power but others disagree. Floyd Mayweather is the best example in this case. Claimed by some fans to have decent power others say he has no power.

              I always thought floyd had decent power mixed with speed

              Watch the hatton fight Ricky's head was just bouncing and bouncing from the sharp and powerful hooks

              Or look at foremans power even now as old as he is I would not like to feel that mans punch anywhere

              Speed can be improved and worked on I dont think that comes as natural as power does

              Plus theres different types of power most recently people are comparing fury and AJ
              And I been saying I would rather take AJs one **** than a fury thud punch

                It came from Allah!

                The Prince got exposed once he left England, he was too flawed.

                  Roid Jones and Shane Mosley were both speed + power guys. They were prolly on the same gear!
