Why isn't Bradley more powerful?

I guess he doesn't sit down on his punches?

 

my thoughts exactly.
same with paulie, while i dont think he'd ever be a huge puncher, ive never seen him sit down on his shots.

 

I think it's most definitely be asue he doesn't drink his own pee.

And if he does, it's because of his diet.

 

I think the base from which its released is a bigger issue in Bradleys case.

What prior poster was referring too was really a lack of effective momentum whether he knew it or not. You cannot have effective momentum on your punch without the proper base.

Another angle of attack to take when researching punching power, is pitching speed. Throwing a KO straight punch and throwing a 100mph fastball are almost identical in principle.

 

thats why Karatekas kiai

Dont think thats Bradleys primary issue though.

 

How long arm his arms? Guys with shorter arms and shorter men cannot generate the same leverage.

Think Hearns and his levers.

 

:huh Tyson didn't have long arms, nor did Corrales, Pac, Provodnikov, among countless other power punchers.

 

It's not be all end all. But generating leverage can help with your power.

Same thing with baseball for example. Guys with longer arms can generate leverage to hit the ball farther.

 

This is just my opinion formulated from observation and some experience. I think ko power is determined by Wrists,forearms and fists. If you can throw punches and keep these three perfectly aligned with very little bending of the wrist upon contact i believe thats the difference between someone who can ko someone and those who cant.

If you punch someone and your wrist bends even just a little on impact that is going to defuse the impact of the punch to some degree. Now if your wrist stays solid on impact then all of that energy is concentrated on the point of impact.

 

Seriously????

He's human being.

We don't grow smaller as we age.

In Timmys case, he's spent too much time boiling down.

He was managed well early on, using his ability to boil of 25 lbs and fight at 140 successfully.
However, as he ages, his test is lowering and decreasing his power because he's not allowing his body to grow natural.
He shoulda made the move to LMW after the second PAC fight.
He wouldn't have to drain himself and imo, he'd be fighting at the more natural weight.
Would almost assuredly add to his KO%.
He could start vs a couple journeyman like Vera and DRod, get himself a good ranking, then probably have enough to challenge Canelo for his MW title, that is if GBP would be willing to continue PAYING GGG to spare Oscars cashcow.
