    I somewhat agree, but what about Mike Tyson? He was a great puncher, and Jeff Lacy wasn't terribly powerful but he had good power, Also I wouldn't put Berto in with Bradley, when it comes to punching power, as Berto is actually a good puncher while obviously Bradley isn't.

    He doesn't turn his punches very well. When he does he has pretty good power.
     
  3. He better.. you can get away with it when your fighting people your own size ..but when you move up in weight fighting bigger guys that hit harder and are stronger your gonna get knocked out

    Remember hes a small guy.. only 5/6 hes gonna be fighting guys that are bigger the average guy is 5/9 and up like PAC is fighting.. but PAC has the power to get these guys respect if Bradly doesn't correct these mistakes and slaps or cups his left hook and loops his right hand at welterweight he wont last at all not against the elite welterweights

    He might get away with it against Alexander cause hes raw and doesn't have a lot of experience i think thats why hes fighting him now... Bradly has been in more bigger fights than Alexander ...smart move by Bradly

    Why doesn't everyone punch as hard as Tyson and Foreman?

    I think he just doesn't make it a high priority. Many fighters go with the "If the knockout comes, it comes." mentality. Larry Holmes used this mentality and yet he had a high ko%. In Floyd's corner, you never hear Uncle Rog yelling at him "Knock him out!". He calmly tells Floyd "Just box." Most of the times it's better to outbox your opponent than to knock him out for the reason you might be more reckless and become the one being knocked out.
