Punchers are born not made

Tommy Hearns rarely scored a knockout as an amateur. Explain him.

 

Stewart taught him how to use his leverage. Hearns always had the power...Stewart showed him how to make the most of it and that he did.

 

If Frazier was born 30 years later, he'd have been far better built,probably 10 pounds heavier,and would have hit harder.

 

If fraziers left hook got any harder, than damnnn thats a even more lethal shot. As far as Tommy Hearns go, he didnt use his leverage and power to his benefit in the amatures. He didn't need it, because he was a very slick boxer. Ray leanord even said that in the amatures Hearns was more of the better boxer and ray was the puncher, but in the pros it switched.

 

Punching is about technique. Mass x Acceleration = Force

Its simple physics.

Putting the most of your weight into the proper motion and delivery creates the biggest impact.

Any boxing coach can prove it to you in 5 mins.

Put down the keyboard go visit a gym.

 

its made. plain and simple

 

interesting but bery true.
i think to much muscle, or in todays heavyweights case fat slows u down big time. speed kills.
i mean lets break down the science of this force=massxaccelartion
so basically its how fast you can get ur weigt in ur shot. if ur slow as **** even the biggest man will not really do much damage. its shown everytime there is a k.o. look at guys like a prime tua. dude is my height with maybe 70lbs heavier but man was he explosive and it was the speed of his left that left people crippled and slumped over
even if we dig deeper and look at the torque of punches, torque is distance x force x sine of the two angle. unless the angles are perpendicular to each other then u can get rid of the sine part, which is the basic fundamental of sliding over and hitting a person with the left hook in the nose or front part of the face rather than the side. but back on torque so torque is basically taking the force formula multiplying the distance u want to travle and adding the angle u want to travle in. so in short the more force(m x a) in a short distance or long distance the more power u will create. yah dig

man i love the science of boxong

 

you beat me to it lol:good

 

Wrong. You'd be surprised what alittle technique would do.

 

It's a bit of both. Some people are born with the skills whilest others can improve their abilities and be just as good. Can't help it but I must say, END THREAD!!!!!

 

Wrong, technique, leverage etc equels power.

 

It's both...The proper teaching and technique will help you maximize your potential as a puncher, but you have to be blessed with that sort of power to begin with.

All the training in the world won't make most people hit like a Foreman or Foster.

 

Well that's a stupid conclusion. "Frazier was a natural born puncher" should have been your conclusion because that is what you support.

 

If you can develop power swinging a bat or a tennis racket then you can develop punching power.

Sure, some people will have higher ceilings than others, longer limbs, bigger hands, more fast twitch fibres. But the essence is technique, not strength.
