I'm no expert but ... Well some small boxers have a great punch - but if we think of it in terms of physics. :- Force = Mass x Acceleration. So a bigger fighter is likely to be able to put more weight (mass) behind the punch. A bigger fighter is likely to have longer limbs, so this is likely to increase the acceleration. Note although smaller fighters seem to punch much faster, this probably proves the case as well. They have less momentum behind the punch - so can pull the arm back quicker and punch out again. The acceleration component might be arguable - but the mass (weight) bit is fairly stragiht forward. Boxers often move up a weight and find they have more punching power. However they also find that their opponents have more durability. In simple terms if it was the other way round, small boxers would own all the belts. They punch so much faster, that if their punch was harder than the big boxers - they would win quickly. In practise when I have seen big boxers against small ones, the small guys have a big disadvantage - hence a low weight boxer can compete at higher weights but not the other way around

It depends on the boxer's skill. All other things being equal, bigger fighters have more powerful punches. The most important thing in a punch is something called momentum, which shows how moving weight and the speed of that moving weight are related: Momentum = mV, Where m is the mass moved, and V is the speed it is moved (velocity, technically, but assume everything in the punch is moving in the same direction) Of course, in reality, this is a very complicated thing to calculate. We're talking summing the mass of every nucleus and the speed they move at (which isn't all the same) As you throw a punch, you actively increase the momentum of yourself, which is what you're really throwing. You do this by changing both the mass moving (sometimes) and the speed of the movments. If you actually hit something, the collision will change the momentum of the punch, eventually stopping your body completely. This is due to accelerations occuring during the collision, or the forces.

The power of a punch is determined by a combination of the boxers stance and the snap from his shoulders. Many boxes are really not well developed in the upper body but have learned to bring the power of their punches form their shoulders. boxers like tarver,dela hoya, roberto duran and tommy hearns never had much muscle but they mastered the punch.
