whats more important raw talent..or a great boxing mind??

[Spray_resistant]

Its a thinking sport, I don't mind admitting I get schooled in sparring at the gym in my town by a much more experienced smaller, light hitting, journeyman pro.

Boxing genius all day.

I got both so I don't care.

Add to that size, speed and punching power.

Raw talent is comparable with a quicky. Is great but doesn't last long. Skills last the whole carrier, even as they get old and loose some of the speed and reflexes. Look at Roy Jr and HOP. Good example for the thread.

That's dumb. Put ****m Richardson, Roger Mayweather, or Freddie Roach in the ring right now they get their ass kicked. That's because you can be smart as you want-- it doesn't overcome Parkinson's disease, or being paralyzed, or being old, or not having physical talent.

Whereas you can be a crackhead like Zab Judah and still have a good career.

boxing is not forever. tyson had a great boxing career and earned tons of money but look where he is now. he's broke because he's dumb.

[lefthook2daliva]

if you had to choose one which would you choose???to be a tvery talented idiot...or a semi skilled boxing genius???

Perseverance trumps both. With it you develop both but lacking it, neither will help.
