Which would you prefer to have naturally?

power...as long as i can take damage good if i have a huge right and a huge left, let those little quick jabs bounce off me like rain...if i can get in one good hit..it will be over.

speed defintely

i dunno which i have naturally, my first trainer said i hit harder than any 7 stone fighter he'd seen before, but my new coach said i had great speed and my power was alright......confusing lol but i personally think im more fast than powerful

yeah power always keeps you in the fight but if your fighting a fast guy with good defence, good chin and good technique like floyd mayweather, your power will mean nothing, look at floyds fight against de la hoya oscar throws a bellringing left hook but it never connected on floyd.

also an amateur fight is only 3 rounds or 4 if your a senior and theres a stoppage rule if a guy is 20 points ahead so a powerful puncher doesnt have alot of time to just get set and wait for a big shot to land, cos if he does he might be stopped on points or lose a lopsided points decision.......

How old are ya? I thought I was light at 55kg lol.

I'd prefer speed because I have that naturally and speed will win most fights against a power puncher.

i agree with cibola. I mean amateur you got to land more punches, but people who hit me with fast punches. I used to let them because they felt like mosquitos bites, then nail em with a huge hook or a straight right. I noticed speed of punches would slow down quickly.

As long as I'm fast on my feet I'm happy.

Power.

Speed can be improved greatly by working on it.

With power, you either have it or you don't.
