Daxx, not only did those guys put their whole weight behind their punches, they threw technically correct punches and not wide looping hayemakers (for the most part)


As for Riddick Bowe, he came up as a sparring partner for Holyfield and I think that would take a lot out of him to begin with. If you look at his style and his training you can understand why his career was so short.

His style was that of a Holyfield-Lewis hybrid and sometimes he would give his height up and take un-needed punishment or exchange on the inside.

His training was like that of Ricky Hatton, get really fit and then blow up between fights.
