Speed or Power

[Rockin']

I take speed for as Ive said speed=power. The power to do what you want to and then get out the way.

Power is good and all but if you cant hit a man you cant hurt him.

But essentially it all comes down to skill. With lots of speed and less skill you could be in trouble, ala malignaggi/cotto. And vice versa. But still i take speed............Rockin'

If I was a professional fighter, I would go with speed, power can only go so far.

Anytime I get a sparring partner with fast hands, it's always appreciated. I've sparred with hard hitters, but the speedy ones have always given me a good session.

Id choose speed. But I would rather have endurance or stamina at this point.

Props to Flicker and bbos for a fascinating and respectful debate in this thread...

Now, to the original question: I'd rather have power.

Speed can win a quick, flashy fighter a UD, but being a murderous puncher can win you many KO wins - one punch can end a fight at any times.

How many times have you seen a fight where it looks like the quick boxer is going to take an opponent to school with fast and flashy combo's then **** the puncher ends the fight with only a punch or 2

"Power" is nothing if you will not be able to hit your opponent who is using "Speed" to evade your punches while at the same time picking you apart by his blinding speed punches that will accumulate slowy but surely.↲
So speed for me anytime.
