Is it just me or are fighters giving up power for speed

I'm saying they just fighting with speed slap punches basiclly no real power anymore I mean you got a few guys that hit hard but not as many as before they just wanna look flashy and fast but fail to do anything special Bradley Alexander Floyd mayweather Roy jones after awhile Andre direll Andre ward Eddie chambers Amir khan granted that yes these people have knock outs but I mean it's stoppages alot of the time no sleeping shots like that one Sergio dud to pwill that's what it needs mor fraziers and formens and tysons or Durans haglers mercer pryor people that hurt people feel me rivalies Would ne nice we haven't had a good one in a while say since PAC Marquez and there 4 years apart. Who's really hated each other recently.

He wasn't exactly incredibly slow either

speed is power, and power is speed. seriously, speed is just another form of power. but i know what you mean - fighters try to jump in and out and fire off quick eye catching combos, BUT they don't PUNCH THROUGH their targets. manny has been so successful because he does both, without having to sacrifice emphasis on one or the other.

I like chess matches inside a ring. dont need to see knockouts

Punctuation saves lives.

Knockouts are good. So is high speed chess. If you want nothing but knockouts, watch highlight videos. Boxing is far more than just that.

Speed is needed to have real power 99.9% of the time. Martinez wouldn't have knocked out Williams if that punch was a slow, thudding shot. Margarito probably hit Williams "harder." However, the speed, plus the muscle and weight behind it created the power.

speed kills.
