    Yes, and mindset too - planting your feet in range in order to land a power punch is dependant on being prepared to risk taking one back. And then there's timing and judgment of distance, both of which have an impact on 'power'.

    The saying 'power punchers are born not made' is a kinda lazy cliche imho. I don't think Tommy Hearns was known as a power puncher until he was trained by Manny Steward. So the 'natural' power was clearly there but only revealed when executed by the proper technique and the Kronx mindset of looking for KOs.

    Great power is both born with and made...

    Some fighters can only punch hard with their right hand and some can only punch hard with their left hand

    But there are some fighters who can transfer the KO power energy from one hand to another, travelling up their right arm across their shoulders and back and then down their left arm to left hand or vice versa.

    Davis Lemiuex is a good example of this. His left hand is his power hand but can transfer the power to his right hand via this method

    That’s because it’s hard to get KO’s when it’s only 3-5 rounds with heavily padded gloves and head gear on.
