im gonna go ahead and re comment here. i read over what you said a few times, and its starting to make more sense to me now.

To train power you lift medium weights at high speed. to train strength you lift heavy weights at low speed. |
this cleared a lot up from what I used to believe. i previously read that in order to get more power, one needs to use heavier weight. i think they meant for power lifting?
question 1: whats the difference between power lifting and power training?
question 2: how could a person find a "medium" weight?
question 3: you always hear things like "pound for pound hes the strongest," and stuff like that. how do you work strength training in with your power training routine to get stronger without gaining mass?
question 4: (i was gonna open a new thread on this one but we're already here) what muscles do you guys think a boxer should target/what gives a boxer more punching power/explosiveness/speed/etc?
i know its a lot of questions, but any and all help for each of them would be VERY much appreciated.
