    Can you think of any talented fighters who had a lack of punching power which possibly stopped theme achieving what they could have?

    If Ali had top notch power he would have been undefeated. I don't see how any one could beat him had he had destructive, one punch knock out power.

    Tyronne Crawley,, Philadelphia Lightweight

    Had all the skills in the world, but couldn't break an egg.

    Henry Clark,, California Heavyweight

    Quick fisted and good boxing skills. The lack of power prevented him from getting
    to the Top Tier. He should have had a World Title shot in 1972. He was more talented
    than Joe Frazier Title Challengers - Terry Daniels or Ron Stander, any day of the week.

    Marvin Stinson,, Philadelphia Heavyweight

    A damn good boxer, but with no damn power. Just didn't bring that Philly Mentality in
    the ring with him.

    I think Herol Graham would have been much better if he had a bit more power

    Holman Williams (bad hands)
    Willie Pep (if he hit harder Saddler wouldn't have bullied him)

    More recently Juan Diaz achieved a fair bit. If he hit harder he'd could have been a multiple weight titlist imo

    Jung Koo Chang, I think, could have ended his career stronger if he had more punching power. If he had big KO power he would have ended up being undefeated IMO.
    Winky Wright is another guy that I think could have been greater if he had more power.
