A lot of punches like uppercuts and hooks rely on the biceps. They're also very useful when fighting for leverage. (Double underhooks, etc.)

Remember... it's not the size of the muscles. That definitely helps... but force = mass x acceleration. Look at Anderson Silva. He isn't as HUGE as Thiago Alves, but his strikes are lightning fast and accurate.
