Actually, with the WT punch, you're also adding to mass
since the punch is centreline and straight, the mass of the forearm is supporting the mass of the fist (think of why a spear only requires a small force to penetrate), as is the mass of the entire body (if needed) if performing advancing step during the punch.
The mass and strength of a strong boxing punch comes from rotating the hips and from the shoulders, and takes energy and valuable time to perform. By the time the boxer winds up, the wt-er has already landed his first punch, which would probably be all that is needed.
Now the boxer's jab is a whole other story, but if you're throwing fast straight punches, you might as well be throwing wt punches
