question about punches in boxing

[MetalGearSolid4]

If i throw a left hook, is the LEVERAGE should be on my left leg or the right leg for maximum punching power? What about a right cross? Thanks

It don''t come down to one part of leverage, punching comes from a full motion from the feet and body to the punch at the same time, it's all one motion.All punches start from the same spot, but not all have the same motion...But depending on your stance style it starts from coming off the back foot..Do you have a trainer??

Look up videos on youtube, or ask your instructor

Both those ^, but you should be pushing with the same foot (on cross, uppercut, hook) - left hook/left foot push, otherwise, you'd be pushing away from the punch.

On jabs, you'll be pushing off the back foot.

Explain...If your saying he should push with the same foot for example right cross he should push with right foot?? If this is the case your setting him up for bad habits..W.e stance you fight in you push on the back foot hence on not off or from the back foot but always push on like your squashing a bug..The right cross is going to be the same mechanics unless you pull a lead left right cross which I doubt your gonna do..Generally a right cross will have more power than a left lead due to the distance it has to travel and requires more dedication though so just practice in your original stance until it's masters and can switch and be agile with both

Explain...

I should have gone into more detail.

Same leg on hooks, uppercuts, cross. And yes, like "squashing a bug".

On a left jab, you will be pushing off the back leg (right), but on a left hook or uppercut, you'll be pushing from the left foot.
