Serratus anterior
The strongest protractor of the scapula is the serratus anterior muscle. It originates from the upper ribs and inserts along the medial border of the scapula. Contraction of the serratus anterior muscle pulls the scapula forward around the rib cage.

The serratus anterior muscle in humans and the serratus ventralis muscle in cats are functionally equivalent but have different names due to anatomical differences and the naming conventions in comparative anatomy. The term "serratus" refers to the serrated or saw-like appearance of the muscle, while "anterior" and "ventralis" indicate their positions in the respective species.
The term "serratus" is found in the names of several muscles in the human body, most notably the "serratus anterior" and "serratus posterior." The serratus anterior is located on the side of the chest and is responsible for the movement of the scapula, while the serratus posterior consists of two parts (superior and inferior) that assist in the movement of the rib cage during respiration.

Serratus anterior and trapezius
The Serratus Anterior - this muscle is abducts the scapula and is commonly emploed in pushing movements - like punching. As boxers punch alot these muscles are very well developed
