tyson got some good legs into his punches. didnt hurt him that they were tree trunks
Good selection. Frazier and Marciano also really stepped into their punches too. Patterson was known for his leaping left hook, and you can't leap without using your legs.

The taller fighters generally have to learn to use and rely on leverage early in their careers but it doesn't disqualify anyone from the list. Marciano's SuzieQ was also a well anchored leverage punch. These are just those that immediately come to my mind for using leverage from the ground up.

Thank you, also why is it so rarely used, I mean people (except you) are really struggling to find examples of people that did it, and no one seem to use it to a great extent, more they just get a little bit of leg into it, not many people have their rear leg in an L position/right angle when throwing the straight right for example they just bend the leg a little e.g. marciano.
