    Timing, rhythm and range of motion at the scapular. You see the same thing with GGG and Kovalev, their torsos are dead still as their arm accelerates into their opponent. So it's a technique/motor movement thing. If you box make sure you do rotator cuff exercises for that reason, the things that give a baseball pitcher a better range of motion and increase power work on a boxer as well.

    with some guys...there's something different at play. bone density...bone alignment...core strength...better leverage and timing...who knows? it's something you're born with, i know that much. you cannot teach it. more than power though....i think it's about placement and timing.

    Leverage and timing. Judah said that Matthysse hit him harder than any fighter he has been in the ring with. Judah mentioned the fact that Matthysse has great timing, he can time your punches. Watch how he timed Dallas and Peterson..............

    While bettors rushed to support Garcia on Thursday, dropping Matthysse to a minus 240 (more than 2/1) favorite at MGM Resorts’ sports book, Matthysse’s favorite status along with opinions from writers that Matthysse’s power will defeat World Boxing Council and World Boxing Assn. champion Garcia (26-0) enraged the father.

    Did you see Matthysse time Dallas? What a short right hand, very quick counter. Did you see Judah's reaction? He was shocked. Dallas was very fast fighter and bigger, but he was knock out cold.

    Peterson started boxing Matthysse. Peterson is a better boxer than Garcia, moves much better and is taller, but Matthysse started timing him in that very first round. In the second round, he set up his left hook with a right to the body, which actually hit Peterson's arm, but made Peterson's head go to the right so Matthysse's left hand would land. Judah is correct, Matthysse's timing is truly awesome.

    Tszyu has been retired for nearly 6 years and is sporting the finest of pot bellies these days.

    How does he fit into this debate?
