Heavy bag training questions?

[Redd Foxx]

Where I differ is in looking up to May for my heavy bag work. Problem with him is he rarely commits to a shot. He's so sharp and precise that that mitigates his need for follow through. Not everyone likes to fight like that. Yes committing leaves you more open, but also gives you more **** for your buck. May is so eager to reset his defense that it often hinders his commitment to a punch, unless we go all the way back. But even so, May was always a cobra, more so than a lion or bear. He also goes relatively light on the bag to preserve his brittle hands.

It just depends what people want to do. They won't develop stone crushing one punch ko type of power hitting the bag like Mayweather, as good as he is.

That's not that I was saying though. I wouldn't recommend someone watch Mayweather as a general example of striking power or how to approach the bag. Rather, that specific example of one particular KO punch is what I was referring to. If someone wants examples of fighters who have popping type punches in general; Tommy Hearns is possibly the finest example ever. That incredible combination of speed + power comes from applying muscle at the moment of impact (along with fine technique). ODLH gets an honorable mention.
