I'm not referring to the one-inch punch. Bruce Lee is a great example of explosive power. I was specifically thinking of his side kick but never the less his fists could deliver devestating blows too. Chuck Norris and Dan Inosanto will both vouch for that statement.
No proof? He was also a golden gloves equivalent champ, so I don't see where anyone goes with the whole "there is no proof" thing.
Broad back is necessary. It's a large muscle, the energy comes up through your upper body and if that large muscle is strong, guess what happens to the energy when it goes through the upper body? Multiplies heavily. You also need to commit to the punch and you need excellent form to bring it all together.
2) if a broad back is necessary how do you explain pacquio's power? the guy is a skinny lil runt but knocks people off their feet.
People who say punchers are born forget all the hard work that was put into developing that big punch.
People born in the ****** are more akin to fighting, so it isn't being born with it. Its that you need it to survive in the ******, it develops through constant conflict on the street. Hence why tyson had so much power before Cus showed up.
