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

    Bradley and Ward would have been terrifying fighters if they were punch strong boxers

    Herol Graham is one that comes to my mind

    I dont think so--SRR was a slick super fast fighter...who had legit 1 punch ko power in both hands (a rare thing). There have been others too--Hearns could be a great boxer when he chose and of course ha great power..

    Thats an excellent point dubz. If you have power, it will obviously shape you're style.(more aggressive/offensive)

    A fighter with Power will most likely want to say in range and be more of an infighter than outfighter

    Yeah thats what I was thinking, I believe power is an important factor to dictating the style you have eg Bailey can get away with throwing few punches in a round and purely countering with one or two shots, Bradley has to be constantly moving and throw many shots to win a round

    I think these are the great exceptions, but I dont like to comment too much on these fighters because Ive seen very few of there fights

    Yeah but SRR and Hearns were boxer punchers whereas Bradley and Ward are more swarming type fighters. If Bradley and Ward had one punch KO power they would probably box from a little further out to maximise their power thus changing their style.
