Do you gain punching power when you put on weight?

[Rockin']

Yes and no if you can punch hard you can punch hard look at prime pacquaio didnt weigh much but could ktfo of people.

Yeah, but he had to employ his SLAP them silly techniques. ……...Rockin'

At times bro, but the hatton fight displays his one punch power perfectly.

Quite a few guys punch like that.

[Daigo]

If so, do you also lose punching power if you become Obese or something, gain too much weight?

If you do legit punch hard you will gain some punching power by gaining weight.

It also depends a lot on technique.
Guys who know how to turn their weight over properly will gain power.
Im talking about good leverage to be clear.

The problem is by gaining weight you will be fighting
bigger stronger guys. Who will take the punches better regardless.

What?

The man has an unorthodox style but he clearly
knows how to throw solid well delivered shots.

Even at this stage in his career dude throws hurtful looking punches.

This isn't calzaghe we talking about.

Like Daigo said, punching power is as much about timing and technique in your delivery of the punch as it is size. That's why you get small guys who are wrecking machines & big guys who couldn't KO a fly.

True, Calzaghe was a horrible slapper. I was just 'hatin' it seems...…...Rockin'

Well Im glad we cleared that up.

He sure slapped up poor Lacy

[CrowsNestWest]

NO. Some fighters do, some fighters don't. It's much less about gaining and losing power and more about whether the fighters at that weight feel harmed by the same power (a.k.a. Canelo couldn't hurt Golovkin, Danny Garcia couldn't hurt Thurman.)
