Otherwise Malignaggi would not be a feather-fisted fighter anymore after years of punching professionally.
The only thing that matters is weight and technique to transfer that weight to a punch. Yes people can do this naturally better than others but punching is not some divine gift.Last edited by StillHereBro; 01-02-2015, 08:57 PM.

It's a bit of both, I think of it like a golf swing. Brute strength, speed and flexibility etc help, but you still need the right technique and everything in sync to get real power.
A lot of guys like Paulie don't really want to hit hard, he probably figured out early he wasn't a natural hard puncher so just worked on other things.

Good technique does help but mostly some people are just born with it.
