But yeah, try throwing a punch in the mirror without the opposite shoulder going backwards. Unless you're in almost a completely side on stance, it's almost impossible (and even harder to throw a good one).

Yeah, those are still not trained power punchers though. With a boxer throwing for power, you can see the punch start in the legs; they'll actually crouch down a bit first to bend the legs and then explode forward and jerk/twist the whole body, just like a good MLB hitter.

The thing that's so cool is that when people really use the chain right, it looks so effortless. Barry just swings so smooth and fast you wouldn't think he's getting all that power, but when you use the legs and core muscles it's so much easier.
