    Loma throws pitty pat punches on purpose because they are fastyer and he`s a volume puncher, every now and then he`ll put a little more in his shots and then they come with good power, like the shot to the body that stopped Linares.

    It wasn`t his power that tamed Canelo because GGG couldn`t stop Canelo moving forward and he hits far harder than Floyd.

    Canelo wws told to fight cautious by his team for the first 6 rounds of their bout which was a huge mistake and Canelo was scared of Mayweather landing as he came in as it would widen the points gap the same thing happened to Manny when he fought Floyd except Canelo landed more to Floyd`s body than Manny did.

    Malinaggi does not hit harder than the Somalian that broke my jaw in the street, his punching in that bareknuckle fight was pathetic.

    Malinaggi lost all of his biggest fights.

    Why do some fighters have less effect with their punches as they rise in weight?

    He is a runner because he lacks power.

    He probably would if his hands weren't so fragile. One thing about boxers is they don't condition their hands. Despite years of boxing I was able to injure my pink throwing a barefisted jab at a bag while talking to my girlfriend. My knuckles look like they've never punched anything in their lives. 16oz gloves and tight handwraps will do that.

    No doubt I would probably break my hand if I punched bare fisted. That would probably change if I started conditioning my hands in addition to even more wrist conditioning.

    Manny was hurt by a Mayweather counter in the 3-4 and the counter kept canelo off all night not just the first 6

    He definitely hit much harder at lighter weights. I'd say he had good power there. At higher weights he's probably below average and isn't going to dent too many chins. But that's also a side effect of his evasive style. To generate true power you have to plant your feet and if you're being fleet-footed and working defence its a harder thing to do.
