Incredible strength but couldn't take Trinidad out with 1000 clean punches.
Dead on. Light-punching Wright appeared to be quite a bit stronger than hard punching Trinidad. But, like Decagon was saying earlier, punching power has as much to do with technique (although the physical strength does help).

Ali was a fairly big HW, especially in his own time, but he never really sat down on his punches. Mostly he just kind of flung 'em out there as if concentrating more on landing period than on landing hard.
