Did any fighter develop punching power late?

Besides Fedor? Once Fedor came to the USA he was throwing torpedoes. In pride he had a different kind of power, but not that one shot deal he lipped Rogers Arlovski and Sylvia with

Tommy Hearns had 11 wins via knockout as an amateur.

Idk if Maynard always had punching power but didn't he start knocking out people later in his career? Phone Post 3.0

FYI Decision Dan was called that because he won controversial decisions, not because he wasn't a finisher.

TRT Hendo and Fedora were the two I thought of when I saw the thread title Phone Post 3.0

Fedor and dan always had power IMO.... But most wrestlers get power later from better technique I'd say Phone Post 3.0

Nelson, remember the patty cake he played with Kimbo before he started working with Jeff Mayweather?

Honestly a great question, think a lot of people are born with the power or picking up good technique from early age to throw the one hit wanderers, but I think a lot of it has got to do with that killer instinct to throw a haymaker or a hook fast and hard with and catch someone clean with that swing, look at hendo for example that over hand right.

re: Fedor, Arlovski has been off and on chinny a lot of his career and Tim wasn't looking too good by then either, remember Couture almost 1-punch KO'ed him just a couple of fights earlier and Couture isn't known for his punching power.

Fedor was always a hard hitter.
