but i don't think that knowing you have a hard punch really helps you in a fight, it can get your confidence up but it can also make you too cocky, which i really don't like
In a fight, I always assume the other person is better than me, and that will keep me from getting to careless and cocky, and will also keep my expectations lower (I won't be as upset if I were to lose), and usually leaves me pleasantly surprised if I win or do better than I thought I would.

Also, you can have a punch like a sledgehammer, but you want to be able to throw a lot of them at one time, or it won't do you any good. Speed kills just as well as power, if not more.
