    Is it technique? Is it genetics? What are they doing that gives them all this power?

    ...what, because there happen to be two big punchers from roughly the same part of the world (800mi apart, though) at the forefront of the sport at the same time? :huh

    Just a coincidence.

    Froch and Frampton are both #1 in their division and big punchers too, shall we speculate on why the British are so beastly? :roll:

    We don't see a lot of slick fighters from Eastern Europe. If he's on TV there is pretty much a guarantee that they are going to be hitting very hard. At the very least above average power it seems.

    I never said anything about them being better boxers. All I asked was why are they hitting so frickin hard?

    both golovkin and kovalev are on a different level to froch and frampton and both golovkin and kovalev would crush them both

    If somebody says we have a new up and comer. A real slick boxer. The last place you would expect would be EE. If they are coming from that area they always seem to punch hard. See my point?

    Klitchko, kovalev, GGG, beterbiev are all big punchers, but glazkov, loma, gradovich are borderline featherfisted
