I think that the purpose is to say that when you have one-punch power, then technical skill is not as important.

However, I think that the point was made that the avoidance of the one-punch power guy's best punch is sometimes enough at the higher levels, and therefore I do think that technical skill outweighs power without skill IF combined with conditioning. The issue to me is that some of the higher weight fighters are not well conditioned enough to continue to box and move as they should... then they sit still - and they become a target for a guy with a huge punch.

Look at Samuel Peter... he really didn't have great technical skills and he NEARLY took that to a championship. But he fell just short... in part because he really couldn't throw a good, straight punch. Had he not looped his punches, we would have been talking about him holding the title and whether or not Wlad would change even under Manny's direction, because you can't train chins. As it was, Wlad threw the better, straighter punches and he won that fight.

Huge punches are great and, sometimes, are great equalizers. However, there is a ceiling that you will eventually reach without good all-around technical skills in my opinion.
