Speed is power

id say they're equally as important

you can carry a-bombs for fists but that doesnt matter if you're too slow to land **** OR you can be landing all night but with the power of an infantile ******

As the saying goes, Speed Kills in Boxing.

There's no point having power if you can't hit the other guy.

Now Speed + Power = A Very Dangerous Fighter!

I think they are equal, personally. Malignaggi is a fast guy. Couldn't hit his way out of a soaking wet paper bag with a pair of plaster-filled Antonio Margarito gloves if he sucker punched the damn thing.

At the same time, Tarver is a hard puncher. But, he couldn't land against Hopkins or Dawson much, and neither was even close to rocked.

I'll go with speed.

It has long been said, and proven in the ring time and time again, that a good boxer will beat a good puncher. Look at Floyd Mayweather, Jr. He doesn't have much power, and some question his heart, but he has speed; and he WINS.

Look at Muhammad Ali in his prime. He wasn't a one punch knockout artist (forget about the second Liston fight), but he had great speed. Prior to his enforced layoff he was all but totally dominant. He beat the punchers and he beat the boxers.
