Why doesn't Joshua have 'lights-out' power?

    You obviously didn't read my response carefully. Browne took a lot of punishment leading up to getting KO'd. Also, it was a great punch, landing right on the point of the chin. Whyte caught Lucas throwing a lazy right, with his chin sticking out like a beacon in fog.

      He has Wlad type power, heavy handed but not too much torque behind them.

        Breadman broke down the different types of punchers in a mailbag. it was a great read. there's clubbers like Foreman, Maidana and slashers like Wilder, Tommy Hearns.

          What are you talking about? Wlad generates insane torque in his power punches, even in short distances. He's knocked out opponents with extremely short, single left hooks.

            lol @ his lefthooks being short. He was leaping in every one of his leaping left hooks.


            that leap must be short huh? Literally putting his whole body into the punch. it's a long wind up.




            A short hook is David Tua vs Darroll WIlson. 2 inch punch KO

                    Yup, very short indeed! Shorter than a nano-meter. Nope, scrap that, it's shorter than a picometer....... It's so short that it's beyond the sensory input of a mere mortal.

                      Yea I'd agree with this take.

                      Joshua lacks that snap/crisp-ness on his punches. BUT he's still a strong ass dude so while he's lacking with that its being made up & maybe then some off of his overall strength.
