I’m a combat sports fan, and I have always wondered why there are matches where a heavyweight boxer has a significant weight advantage over his opponent, but then his opponent still hits way harder, despite the 40+ pound difference. But that was just one of my examples, what are almost if not all of the factors that determine how hard a person can hit?
I know that weight and actual punching technique are the two main ones, but I can’t think of much more, other than say your bones in your hands, and maybe just being explosive in general.

“Technique” covers a lot of factors; striking speed, fist shape, where the hit is landing, the angle of attack, biomechanical positioning of the body, etc… look up some videos of Bruce Lee’s one inch punch. That small man sent guys twice his weight flying back, because of explosive force, muscle definition, and technique
