    Arm Punchers

    Watching Lomachenko I was suprised to see that he doesn't put a lot of leverage into his shots. Lot of arm punching. Bradley does the same thing quite often. I think people get written off as not having power because of physicality when really its usually a problem with technique. Can anyone here name some notable boxers who fight the same way?
    Do you agree with my view on Lomachenko? Bradley?

      This is one thing I've thought about Loma for a while. People talk about his power but he's not a great puncher by any means because he's mainly an arm puncher. It's a shame because he does everything else almost perfectly.

        Bradley certainly tries to get everything into his shots, but he just is not a natural puncher.

        Loma only seems to sit down on his punches occasionally. Hopefully that will change once he gets used to the pro game, as he still somewhat has an amateur thought process of just scoring punches. I saw some work out videos of him and it looks like he can throw punches with bad intent, but it has not translated to the ring yet.

                Vitali, during his comeback title reign. It allowed him to hit an opponent at will and still stay out of range and in position to counter. It was as close to as perfect of a heavyweight fighting style as there could be as long at the one employing the style has the reflexes and ability to make it work. Vitali could also crank up the power when he wants to.

                Second is Calzaghe, for obvious reasons. He had little pop but was always in position to connect, even against a boxing whiz like Hopkins.
