Skinny Legged Fighters with Big Power

Carlos Monzon, 89-3-9, 61 KO's, 14 title defenses of the World Middleweight Title from 1970-1977. Alexis Arguello was another thin legged fighter with a heavy right hand.

 

Uh, some of these guys you listed do NOT have skinny legs.

 

What a tank.

 

Roger Mayweather

 

Strong wrists that can transfer all power after impact without bending (thus Losing power) Some have them naturally others got Them from Hard work like construction - especially while growing up - think grandpas hands.

A perfect example of this is George Foreman. Slow punches with low energy maximizing weight+Speed but still respectable thudding power.

 

itsovah pretty much got it. i think the best punchers have a natural feel for how to transfer their full weight at impact. you can teach some of it, like how to position yourself for most balanced, solid position to apply leverage from, but some guys can feel that naturally.

 

Tyson's hips were MASSIVE, and claves don't mean a sh1t for punching power

 

So child bearing hips are a power advantage?

 

Is JMM’s power considered big? I always thought his legs were pretty skinny.

 

Mike Tyson didn't have skinny legs

 

Bump city?

 

mike tyson skinny legs lol

 

it's always the lanky ones that can put a punch together that catch everyone's eye. Leg's alone have nothing to do with it putting a punch together. You can put Pavlik on the list too.
