Power of a punch is generated by knowing how to put the entire strength of your body into your hand.
Tyson was a power puncher but quite short for a heavyweight.
Taller men have the advantage in boxing because of there reach there jabs do indeed carry more power cause they travel further imo, but if a short guy who is strong gets within that reach then the advantage is lost, but to do this the short guy has got to take a few.
People think I'm heavier than I am because of my height at 13 stone and 5ft 5in tall I look pretty big and guys who are over 6ft 2in and 15 stone actually look smaller than me in the gym.
But I still think a tall guy carries there weight better If I had a pound for everyone who saw me in a pair of tracksuit trousers and a baggy top and thought I was just a bit of a fat bastard I wouldn't need to work!
There always shocked when I take my top off and see that its not fat thats hiding under there. |
