Tall people and uppercut

[eazy_mas]

I think tall people have stronger uppercut, why?

I seen Ndou and Somsak Sithchatchawa that are tall then many boxers in there class

is it just me or do they have stronge uppercuts

it's just you i think. no one size has a particular advantage in having a powerfull uppercut.

examples: lennox lewis(6'5" 1/2) had a great uppercut, but he was pretty tall considering that the average hight of a heavy is probably around 6'2". mike tyson(5'10") also had a wicked uppercut, yet he is considerably shorter than most heavyweights.

Mike Tyson had a powerful punch in every punch.

but maybe you are right too.

yeah I forgot about Cintron

Mike Tyson had a powerful punch in every punch

not much of a jab at all.

WHATTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!! he has one of the best jabs in the business, it was so explosive, you clearly havnt seen enuf of mike tyson fights

[The_Russian]

I think he might have been sarcastic when he was saying that

That or he has only seen the Tyson of the later years who didnt throw the jab hardly at all. If he has seen a younger Tyson, he would have seen a sledge hammer of a little jab. But with Tysons height in the heavyweights he could never expect it to become his bread and butter.

Well,if a taller person generally longer legs, and to throw an uppercut the legs are bent and pushed up from to increase power, the longer the legs the more momentum.

Thank you.


You see there is a very strong "size doesnt mater, genetics dont mater" vibe in this forum.

But I agree with what you said.
