    I'd always take speed, stamina and a good chin over pure power.

      you'd be ****** not to, but its good to get a bit of power in there as well, but yes speed and stamina used with the right boxing mind will beat power any day

        In my opinion it is heart and determination. You can have all the skills in the world but if you dont have the drive and determination to be great chances are you are going nowhere

          I'll take a fighter who has heart and power, make this fighter one with some ring savy and I'll show you a winner.

          Evander Holyfield in his prime was one of the best I've ever seen in that department...

            i think heart is the most important, if a fighter has speed, chin, technique, and power but doesn't have the determination to win, he's a bum. Rocky Marciano had more heart and less ability than any other champion. the best guys always find a way to win, to overcome the odds, that's the most important thing in boxing

              Size can also be a disadvantage.

                i'd go for speed n power, a combination is best, but also skill, smart thinking and heart.
