    The taller the boxer, the stronger puncher it is?

    Do you think that power is increased with height, at the same weight category?
    I don't mean to compare a boxer in one category to other categories, but about strongest in each category.
    Examples: Jess Willard - Jack Johnson, Morales-Pacman, BHop-DLH, Corrales-Castillo, the tallest were strongest.
    Or even more likely: power increases with bone mass instead of just height, that way we include tall people and also short but wide boxers, for example Tyson.
    Mainly bone mass, then muscle mass, and the least amount of fat (except heavyweights, because there is no superior limit to weight) to be compatible with muscle and bone to make the weight for the category. Example: Corrales has less fat than other in this weight because he is tall, he is more weight efficient.
    I know there are other variables, but just want to know if this is one.
    Tell me what you think.

    Tszyu-Short but one of the strongest punchers in the game.

    Tyson is a strong puncher as well as Pacman.

      the height addds leverage to the punch which is always a plus for power

        I have always believed u either born or not born with punching power.Look at Jimmy Wilde, who some consider one of the best punchers of all time and he was a flyweight champ.

          One of the hardest punchers I ever met was 5-7 & 60 kg's.
          All about timing & snap.

            Lamon Brewster is listed at 6'1. He is more like 6'0.
            Tyson is 5'9
            Tua is 5'9

            compare their height to most other heavyweights.

              Thanks spinksjinx, although Tyson is included in my list if you see the middle of the post.

              Pacman may be strong but less strong than morales, this is one example I put.

              Tszyu don't know, but he may be wide.

                Height dont matta. Pac, Tyson, Tua and Tszyu are short and they have big punch.

                Doo, I think you watched Corrales Castillo too much!

                  Thanks Runw/knives, but these heavyweight have huge backs, so again more skeleton.

                    ok. I see what you mean now. taller fighters with equivalent amounts of muscle mass? no?
