Thats different though isnt it, to have speed with one and not with the other.
Strength is the ability to lift heavy weight.
Power doesnt require a heavy weight but to do more work per unit of time.

To train power you lift medium weights at high speed. to train strength you lift heavy weights at low speed.

They are very different in terms of how you train them. Training strength alone will only give you some power increase, strength training as such isnt suitable for boxing where as power training is.

Not to be confused with power lifting which has nothing to do with it.
