and I can tell you why
it is somewhat misleading to say that squats help you develop punch force because a lot of people will take this to mean that like, glutes and hamstrings will help you with punch force
the main things about a squat that help you are
1. hip muscles
2. quad muscles, specifically the quad muscles used in a quarter squat
hip muscles are enormously important in punch force. MMA fighters all have ridiculous obliques, if you haven't noticed.
quarter squat is a joke of an exercise for training purposes, BUT it is by far the best exercise to improve vertical jump height

rack pulls from the knee probably have a similar effect
so it makes sense that squat, but especially quarter squat would have this effect
I would also imagine the second half of a bench press (engaging more shoulders and serratus) would have a far higher correlation with punch force than the first half
