Can you name some extremely hard punchers that had very little muscle mass?

    80s Tyson was much leaner than his 90s version. 80s Mike
    wasnt as muscular as Young Foreman but hit just as hard.
    Oscar De La Hoya , Pacman, Ward, Arguello, Cooney, Naz,
    Bowe. Ive always been facinated by this topic, like
    Bradley Pacman weighin, Bradley looked like a body
    builder and his power sucked, Pac looked like some
    normal dude and we all know his power.
    Whats this new "pin it" action?

    Wilde and Lopez were my first two thoughts, as well.

    Most of these answers are incorrect.

    A fighter might be tall for his weight class, so he appears skinny but he probably has just as much muscle mass as the fighters in same weight class who are six inches shorter and look stocky.

    Take Tommy Hearns, for example, he was ripped at 147 but he was long and thin, had a 6'1 frame. If you compressed him down to 5'6 or 5'7, the same muscles and bones would shorten and thicken and he'd be stocky at 147.

    This is primary school stuff, BTW. :lol:

    Jimmy Wilde is a good answer. He probably didn't even weigh 100 pounds.

    Hearns was very muscular. He had tiny legs but his upper body was very wide and muscular. He was very thin but he looked very strong.

    Hamed, Trinidad, Chavez, and McClellan get my vote.
