When you step forward and punch, do you like to coordinate your punch with your back foot landing, or with your leading foot landing?

Why?

It's trade off.
1. Conservative (beginner level) approach - coordinate punch with back foot landing.
PRO: After you have landed your leading foot, you still have option whether you want to finish your punch or not.
CON: Your front foot landing has already telegraphy your intention.
2. Aggressive (advance level) approach - coordinate punch with front foot landing.
PRO: You don't telegraph your intention.
CON: You may over commit if you miss your punch.
