He's clearly the harder puncher.
Because you don't need power to have great offense or win a fight.
why did Foreman lose to ?
Why did Ali lose to Spinks?
so on....
The Shane Mosley that fought Oscar knocks Floyd out in the 2nd round when he caught him twice in a row. A younger, fresher and harding hitting shane stretches that overrated bum out.

they lacking in their offense.
what happened when great defensive fighter like Ward fights a prime RJJ? He'll get blown up.
Bernard fought RJJ when they were fresher. Offensive fighter won.
They only win because of their lackluster competition.

Power is one of the 3 major factors. Prime Roy had Power to go with his speed and timing.
If you don't have power, you don't have great offense. simple as that.

The fact that pac was finally in a close fight against a sentimental favorite everybody wants to automatically say marquez won. when the **** did a very close fight with a lot of close rounds become a robbery.

you cant have everything. nobody is perfect. You cant be such a great offensive fighter and be such a great defensive fighter at the same time.
Its physically impossible.
You have to give something up. YOu throw lots of punches hence you get more chances to hit. If you are a defensive genius, you throw less, you get hit less, but you are not as entertaining.
Its quite simple. You cant be both.

it is one of the most important aspects of offense.
FIRE POWER that is.
Do you get it? I'm not saying speed and timing don't matter.
Defense for example consists of head movement and craftiness.
If you take any of those attributes out, the person does not have great defense.
