Defining Characteristics for P4P Rankings
- Fight record: Clearly, wins matter. Championships matter. The quality of opposition. A fighter with a winning record only against lower-ranked opponents surely doesn’t deserve extraordinary recognition.
- Technique and skill set: Results matter, but so does the way in which fighters execute their wins. There is an aesthetic quality attached to how a fighter goes about their business which is underpinned by the work they put into honing their craft and rounding out their skillset.
- Method of victory: A win is a win, but how fighters close out their bouts is a consideration.Some greats are multi-dimensional combatants who have demonstrated their ability to fight in different ways and styles in response to whoever they’re fighting.
Some Fun Punch Science
Did You Know? It’s more than just throwing your arm, ,you’ll have to throw a
good part of your upper body, generating force from your shoulders, as well as your core (abdominals and
trunk), and your lower body (your quads).
Yes, it means that your arms aren’t the only thing you need to train if you want to be a good, strong
puncher. You’ll have to do some full-body training, workouts that improve your generation of power using
explosive moves, building up quickness in all your limbs and joints.
