Why isn't Bradley more powerful?

If anybody needed a demonstration as to how being ripped to the gills with bulging muscle on your frame doesn't correlate to packing a wallop it's this guy, to be fair Pacquiao rated him as a 6 but then again he was going all out ***** to the wall to knock Pacquiao into oblivion.

I have read the legs are where power is truly generated, I have actually read a good few hours on this conundrum why some can crack and some cannot regardless of physical appearance, I'll try and recall some excerpts later.

 

My friend, who's going into med school, told me it's about how much muscle fiber a person can access. You can have the biggest muscles in the world, but if your body doesn't access a lot of muscle fiber then it won't make a difference. Rather, some people can have smaller looking muscles but if they can access majority of their muscle fiber then they'll punch harder even with the smaller muscles.

Idk if they're right, but this is what they said when I asked, lol.

 

Good but not exceptional puncher and the man doesn't take soft touches, maybe toughest gauntlet of opponents of any active fighter.

 

Bradley isn't a murderous puncher but let's take a look at his competition since 2008 when he was 20-0-0 (11 KOs) (55%):


Miguel Vasquez - Never been stopped
Junior Witter - RTD vs Devon, other than that hasn't been stopped
Edner Cherry - Never been stopped
Kendall Holt - Stopped in 2013 past prime vs Lamont
Lamont Peterson - Stopped once....by Lucas Matthysse
Luis Abregu - Stopped by Sadam Ali
Devon Alexander - Never been stopped...has he even been down other than the Lucas fight?
Joel Cassamayor - He stopped him
Manny Pacquiao - Stopped once in recent memory despite fighting huge punchers
Juan Manuel Marquez - never been stopped
Diego Chaves - Stopped once...by Keith Thurman
Jessie Vargas - Never been stopped

Fact is: You aren't gonna get many knockouts when you're fighting this level of competition. His punching power to me is comparable to Floyd's, who also gets no knockouts because of the high-caliber of his competition. Even someone like Pacquiao who is supposedly a murderous puncher doesn't really get many KOs.

 

I don't think this is necessarily true when it comes to KO power. Guys like Bradley, Floyd etc... aren't physically weak, in fact p4p they're pretty strong, but they just can't punch too well.

 

Serious question: Are there any examples of fighters who had no power - fixed their technique - and became punchers?

 

I'd say probably not....Although I think Ortiz quit
