    You can't teach power, but you can teach techneique.
    Joe Louis might not be the fastest or most gifted athlete, but he did have a near mastery of boxing fundamentaials. Combine that with his power. You have a boxer who is going to be great in any eara.
    In Louis's case it was a natural gift.
