    Power is useless if you're too slow and can't connect.

    At least if you have speed, you could win decisions and put on masterful performances ala Whitaker.
    but if you cant hit hard how can you ever KO an opponent?

      speed can break an opponent down, u wont get the one punch KO like pac/hatton. Take floyd/gatti for example. gatti got broke down by speed and accuracy.

                It also depends though. Let's say you were giving me one of these two, how much speed would I have if I chose power? How much power would I have if I chose speed?

                    There will have been loads of guys that possessed raw power but you just never got to see it because they were too slow to land.

                      What are you saying here? If you have speed you've got zero power and if you've got power you can't move your hands? It wouldn't be that extreme...
