Whats better? SPEED or POWER?

i rather have speed . look at Pernell Whitaker, not know for power but one of the best boxers in the sport Exactly. Whitaker was a pleasure to watch.

alot of ya'll are stupid he said speed vs power and u guys keep saying oh if u have good speed and bring up floyd and sweet pea being fast doesn't mean your gonna have the skill of these too it just means your fast if you have power and good boxing skills you can wait and pick your shots what happened in the chavez taylor fight taylor was fast but chavez power won him the fight his power slowly but surely destroyed taylor

btw g-dogs, thx for coming up with this thread. this topic has NEVER been discussed before.

i'd rather have kevin jesus. yea hes a nice guy :boxing:

whats the use of having power if you have no speed to connect????!?!?!

A lot of power has to do with speed (velocity) and accuracy (hitting the chin, liver, sternum etc) Even guys like Jackson and Foreman, not known as speedy boxers, had a very high velocity on their punches as well as heavy bones and a lot of strength.

wow thanks for exposing yourself as complete boxing noob. you never seen sweet pea fight did you? He had good pop, that cat would wail on people He didn't have much power man, it was his speed and accumulation of punches that did the damage. He certainly didn't have one punch power by any stretch of the imagination. Oh, and nice Toney over Couture bet you have there at the bottom...noob.

Sweet Pea didn't have much power.... wow thanks for exposing yourself as complete boxing noob. you never seen sweet pea fight did you? He had good pop, that cat would wail on people

speed kills strenght punishes

you cant have power without speed look at body builders who can bench alot but cant punch for crap because theres no zip on their punches

um he's pretty fast. considered one of the fastest at that division. you continue to fail Sweet Pea didn't have much power....

you said it, Speed is Power

um he's pretty fast. considered one of the fastest at that division. you continue to fail Once again... how fast is he? Thinking before typing and letting it process is a natural thing. If he was a fighter that swarmed on you quick then of course he would get TKO's. He's not... he picks shots for the most part.Learn your fights then get back online. :rofl:

How fast is he? Dummy. Think before you type, it really does help. I mean, really. Let your brain focus and when your brain says no, that doesn't mean for you to keep typing.:wave: um he's pretty fast. considered one of the fastest at that division. you continue to fail

accumulation of what? of power you dunce. how many TKO's does malignaggi have? LOL you fail How fast is he? Dummy. Think before you type, it really does help. I mean, really. Let your brain focus and when your brain says no, that doesn't mean for you to keep typing.:wave:

but whats the point of having power if your too slow to c?onnect the point is that you're not ALWAYS too slow. power is the equalizer. you can be too slow to connect for 11 rounds then in only ONE round you connect once and it's game over. that's how power works.

No you don't dumbass. Haha. It's called accumulation. Look it up. accumulation of what? of power you dunce. how many TKO's does malignaggi have? LOL you fail

but how can you ever score pts on a scorecard without having speed? How slow of a fighter do you have in your head? Seriously.... Not fast enough to score points? Are we talking about 85 year old fighters here?
