The best way to increase punching power..

[JayCoe]

Genetics offer an edge, being able to do something naturally enables somebody to learn it quicker, doesn't prevent somebody else learning.

Man, there are some dumb ****ers on this forum if they generally believe that boxers can defy physics with "god given ability". ****ing ******s, listen to yourselves. Punching power is physics, thus, it has a law to it. Some are naturally better, but that doesn't mean somebody can't learn if they look at their particular body shape and size and figure it out. ****, didn't think there was even a counter argument to the most basic stuff we learn in primary school but I guess "nah, it's a ****** answer, it's god given" is just as valid for some of you.

Go onto google, search JACK DEMPSEY, CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHTING and the book is free on the internet because it's out of copyright now. Read the section PUNCHERS ARE MADE; NOT BORN.

I feel sorry for you guys who don't believe they stand a chance at bettering themselves to such a degree, i'm good to listen to myself and work at it.
, but continue running around believing you are all you can be because somebody else told you so...

when someone says god-given they mean genetics, it means you've had generations of evelution due to somethin your family before you has also worked hard on

Genetics deliver a natural edge, not determine the outcome.

right, so what about hieght and muscle mass? anyone can achieve that then?
lets say what if your 5'6, can you stretch yourself to be 6'0?, what if you just cant put on much muscle due to your metabolism be as big arnold?
you know scientists say the muscle fibers your born with is the fibers you'll have for the rest of your life, you cant add to them, they just break and enlarge
some people are just taller/shorter, can pack more muscle have a chin while you no matter how hard you try just cant, i mean come on
genetics....sometimes you just CANT do it.... in a lifetime

How old are you?...I swear you're a kid.

A stockier 5ft 6 can hit as hard as a slimmer 6ft guy and likewise, boxing is fought on weight categories, the shorter guy has mass and muscle, the taller has leverage. Punching power isn't just who's taller height and/or has more muscle.

Also go back to my original post where I wrote, just as physics enables us to punch heavy, it does cap us as well, so someone like me can't punch like Tyson at my current state.

The punchers are born theory has some merit. Some people are born with more type IIa fibers or IIb or type I fibers. The guy with more of the explosive muscle fibers (IIa and IIb) will naturally be able to generate force quicker and will likely have faster hands. So if there are two guys that punch the same way, have the same bone lengths, etc etc etc but one is primarily type IIa dominant and the other guy is type I dominant then obviously the first guy will be able to hit harder. You CAN do things to help yourself out and narrow the gap but the former guy was born to hit harder than the other dude. Punchers can be made but the best punchers were born to punch and then made to punch hard, if that makes any sense.

Anyhow, punching power is over rated, speed, skills and agility are where its at.

Balance and leverage are very important to punching power. When hitting the heavy bag, make sure to drive from your legs, pivoting off the right foot for a right cross, and twisting your weight across your body off the left foot for a left hook. Watch Alexis Arguello if you can find his fights on film. He was skinny as a rail but got maximum leverage on every punch!

His post is pretty accurate, actually.

Your grammar and punctuation, on the other hand, is "***ing ******ed".

oh really? the fact that you think his post is "accurate" is enough for me to not even take you seriously.

yah, man you're so smart because you can type posts properly on a boxing forum. and yet your brain processes what that guy wrote as pretty accurate. ***ing joke.
