    Train your punches on the heavy bag with proper technique. This is one the best ways to train the power of your punches.
    Train with 16 ounce gloves.

    Foreman was born naturally strong and powerful. His talent had to be nurtured though, though he was still rough round the edges.

    So Foreman even if he hadnt boxed wouldnt have been a power puncher nonetheless :lol:

    I do agree that people are naturally stronger than others and bigger, but you can definently improve your punching power considerably by lifting and training your power. Look at Holyfield.

    No Idea. I'd likely believe that Foreman (despite his natural power) had his own specific training with techniques that he may never share, he will die and the knowledge be lost with him. Looking back at RJJ vs Byrant Brannon, Jones could do knockout power punches with only 1-2 feet distance of launch. How he could project his fists with so little 'run way' is just a mystery. Note, I have never seen any prominent fighters share their full training videos nor talk about any unusual training methods. At times I think we will never be allowed to know.

    looks like you are the moron.

    lifting wont give you george foreman type power, but it can certainly improve punching power.

    that whole cus d'amato quote about punchers not being born, but certain punchers having more of an aptitude for the the act is correct imo.

    technique and strength exercises will do wonders for one's punching power, but in the end it's all to an extent. as we all know there are guys out there who punch with great punching technique and still can't crack as hard as a sissy arm punch thrown by foreman.

    you can teach a guy to hit harder, but you can't teach a guy to be a hard hitter. some guys just have the bigger, denser bone structure; the wider range of motion, the broader shoulders, the stronger core/base muscles, etc., to just be natural punching machines.

    While I 'm sure that bone density can be boosted and the core solidified through good training, the part about have wider range of motion and broader shoulders is definately a born asset. You just see people who have a naturally wider skeletal frame and you know they can hit hard. I think some of the physical assets also contribute to the geometry / leverage behind a punch, where those things determine the final limit on where training can take you.
