I read from If it wasn't for Pacquiao's legs--he would've lost to Cotto [Archive] - Boxing Forum that Pacman generates knockout power from his from his legs. I heard a commentator say this during his first bout with Barrera. Can anyone explain the science behind his punch?
Scrap will tell you that its the big toe; it all starts right there just behind the the big toe.
I think with some big hitters like Pac its also timing and movement that gets his shifting body weight right behind the usual hits as well.
Basically His backfoot is under His Coxxys most of the time. Meaning His Oral stabilty is good and He doesnt reach with His Shots, Giving good Posture and Back foot Stability. Which gives the Drive and the Biomechanics to Punch Hard from the Drive He gets and the Speed it generates.

power generated from the legs are how its done
pac man is extremely fast and in boxing speed = power. if u cant see the punch coming it will hurt you that much more.
