Common mistakes that leach power from punches.

That Mayweather pic I posted shows Mayweather knocking Ortiz out.
Floyd was also a power punches early in his career, but you know that.

Here is Pacquaio leaning forward, flaring the elbow and reaching.

And here is Mayweather throwing the most perfect jab in the history of humanity



The elbow is flaring, and not a little bit, the forearm is basically parallel to the floor.

do you even know what your watching? that punch by pacquaio was only leaning slightly forward (actually good posture), had very little elbow flare and definitely wasn't reaching. maybe you are confusing follow through with reaching?
