Why is it some boxers are feather fisted?

A lot of guys nowadays arm punch, where as you can see some turn their hips and shoulders slightly to give their punch maximum torque. Also some would rather pitty pat and just out box you, making not to over commit and be vulnerable to counters.

So, even when you work on things like foot placement and torque, it can only help so much. Tim Bradley is a perfect example.

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.
Anyone can learn to punch harder, with proper technique and training. But true punching power, the kind that people really take note of, cannot be taught. The raw material has to be there to begin with.

-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.)

They may not have the hand speed or the coordination to be a puncher. The faster the punch is the harder it is if he turns his weight into the punch. The more weight a boxer can turn into the blow with proper technique the harder the blow. A fighter might be a born puncher to a certain degree but all fighters can improve their power by learning the proper way to throw the dfferent punches. No one is born with this knowledge.
