Might be a simple answer but I mean the guys train how to punch for most of their lives and they still cant hit hard, guys like Sergio mora , Paulie malignaggi. Is it because a puncher really is born not made?

Why is it some boxers are feather fisted?

This is a complicated question because I think it could be different from fighter to fighter. I think it could be one of the following...
-their training routines
-genetics
-foot placement (feet not planted correctly, moves too much to get a solid hit)
-the way they swing (technique or trying to swing too fast and give up power in the process)
-their style (purposely don't hit hard because they're a volume puncher or conserve energy for later rounds.)Last edited by SnakeVen0m; 01-10-2013, 03:07 PM.

I've always wanted to know how weak punching some fighters are, like say in comparison to the average shmoe who goes to a boxing gym. Surely Paulie's punches "hurt"..maybe not enough to knock out another pro fighters but they must feel something..?

it all comes down to if they know how to throw a power punch. It all about throwing it the proper way and when to activate all your muscle at once, your bicep, your shoulder, your chest, your wings etc etc.
Most feather fisted fighters are because they dont commit to their punches and when they try to they just get the basic down, like the pivot, and the lunge but dont know how to activiate all their muscles at the right time to add the real power behind their punch..

Its just like hitting power in baseball. You can teach a guy how to hit all you want - you cant necessarily control how the ball jumps of the bat once you made your move.
