I´ve learned that there are two types of punch in Muay Thai - the hard, which is gained through using the training gloves and the strong, which is acquired through the use of bag gloves.

What are the benefits and downsides to both?

I really can't think of any difference saying "strong" and "hard", nor seeing the change it makes using different gloves.
Seems kinda silly actually.. Maybe i'm wrong.

I practiced Muay Thai pretty consistently for about 8 years, including some sessions with high level Thai instructors and I never heard of that distinction. Just from the terminology I have no idea what that would be referring to.
