What? Explain that to a Olympic shotput thrower. Them boys (and girls) are big, fast, and know how to concentrate. Some American football players are as big around as a bus, but they are very powerful. The brain and spinal cord is the contolling factor in utilizing power. Big or small, fat or skinny, judging a person's power can be deceptive.

i agree with you completely aham,
is that is cetainly true,
though , with the equation power=stregth x speed,
i would think that stregth would be the dominant factor which would be most important in delivering the power,
for example who would win in a fight between Prince Nazeem ,(has more speed than strength) against Lenox Lewis,(more power than strength), Lennox Lewis of course!!

"Although the questions about his nationality remain, it should be remembered that Lewis was born and lived in London until the age of 12. On moving to Canada, Lewis initially took up boxing to combat the taunting he received because of his thick London accent."
