Does having big calves give you more punching power?

Tommy Hearns didnt seem to need them....or any discernable muscles in his entire leg for that matter.

 

power = timing + tecnique

for example windmill punches like wilder does have nothing to do with pro boxing

 

And Im saying in general it doesnt make a difference. Technique and weight gives you power.

Guys with big calves can hit, guys with small calves can hit and vice versa

 

It's always helped my game

People misunderstand the old adage "power comes from the legs"

What that means is that you torque your body from your toes up to gain maximum leverage.

It doesnt mean squatting 500lbs will actually add power to your punches.

Traditionally boxers had skinny legs from long jogging and skipping with very little weight training and explosive work.
Things are chamging bit by bit on that front

 

Not really, big thighs yes..calves? meh
