Which would you rather watch? Better yet which would you rather be?
edit: hen I say skills but no KO power tho I'm talking bout being someone like Timothy Bradley, Winky Wright, etc. not someone on an elite level of feather fistedness like Malignaggi
bradley is pillow fisted, just look at his ko ratio, the guy rams his head more than actually using his fists
Thats something I find weird. Bradleys too built/well conditioned to be hitting like that.
I rather have power.
I can find a good trainer and develop skills, but it's hard to develop real KO power if you weren't born with it.
I'll go with skills ALL DAY.
I can always call Angel Heredia to improve my power. :banana:
great point bro, because i mean id hate to be the dude that no one respects his power and can walk trough anything i dish out.
i would honestly love to be that dude.skills but no power but if your talking about someone who wants to be or is becoming a boxer i think you would rather have power because you can always learn how to box
So basically, Randall Bailey or Paulie Malignaggi?
I'd rather be Paulie. At least with skills, you won't get your head knocked around quite as much as the guy who has no skills and has to land a big punch, taking a punch of big punches himself along the way.
I thought of the two exact same fighters.

A lot of guys with low power can be very hard to beat because they come with a game plan and KNOW they are going 12 rounds vs coming in lazy and expecting a KO.
But also the whole "walk through everything" very rarely works out as a plan. Usually it IS someone's game plan like Pavlik vs Hopkins, Hatton vs Mayweather, Chavez vs Sergio ect but usually that guy ends up getting busted up and dominated.
When you say no KO power what do you mean? Paulie Malignaggi or someone like Timmothy Bradley and 147lb Mayweather who have good pop but can't stop people dead with one punch?
If you're thinking of Malignaggi then KO power. With enough practise you can develop a reasonable amount of skills but you couldn't avoid being feather fisted. If you're thinking Mayweather/Bradley type power then skills.
Good point, I never thought of the malignaggi/bradley difference.
I'm thinking of people like Timothy bradley though that's way more typical. Malignaggi is a rare breed of feather fisted fighters that will only come around once in a lifetime. Dude is like an X-men except his power is to have no power

I think I'd rather skill but no power. You take more brutal beatings with power but no skills. You constantly think you'll land that one punch and you take too many stupid chances. All the while you think you are going to land it, your face is having ten thousand punches landed on it.
