    Why are there heavyweights who couldn't throw a proper right hand even if there life depended on it? People like Chisora or Fury are for about a decade in the game and still they seem to struggle with it. Why is that? Is it simply that hard to learn it or is it that their coaches aren't capable of teaching the right technique or what's the reason?

    More often than any other division you'll see guys who get by on power and toughness alone. I disagree about Fury having bad punching technique though.

    I think that applies to almost every division, only they don't have as much thudding power as the Heavies, so they rightfully fall by the wayside and become gatekeepers and journeyman which is where they belong. But HW's can keep on doing what they're doing never feeling the need to attempt to improve because of the power.
