At 145 pounds, I have yet to meet anybody over 200 pounds who can punch as hard as me, except people who have had some training.Goat Meal said:That's what weak people say.
Call Tommy Hearns weak see what happens. His legs are tiny and I doubt he could squat over 200 pounds but he would decapitate you with one punch.Goat Meal said:That's what weak people say.

LOL! all doing that will show you is your legs provide you with the balance point to throw your body weight and hips behind a punch.thecreator said:try punching whilst standing on 1 leg, and youll get your answer

Great punchers have strong legs. Maybe not in the same way lifters are strong, but the strength definitely contributes to great technique. Ever seen the Sugar Ray Robinson highlight? He is always moving and exploding off his legs with every punch. He might have had skinny legs, but I'm sure they were strong punching technique-wise.OpethDrums said:technique > strength
