if you had to choose 1 trait in boxing which would it be

[jjbj2]

Khaosai Galaxy

Another boxer who built his career based on power.

Also, I have to clarify something. I have to say this:

Sugar Ray Leonard received his first lost against a fighter who rely on his power a lot who was Roberto Duran. Funny thing, if I make some guessing:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. will fight a fighter who not only rely on his power but on speed as well and that is Manny Pacquiao.

I honestly believe that the only thing keeping Floyd Mayweather Jr. believe that he is better than Sugar Ray Leonard right now is his undefeated record but if history is anything to learn from then I think Leonard's history is a cautionary tale.

if i cud choose only 1 trait, it wud b the ability 2 fight 1 goat farmer after another frm the impoverished eastern bloc, n then, with my merry band of psychotic sergiosexuals-- declare myself the P4P KING.

Paulie Malignaggi vs Miguel Cotto is a perfect example of one fighter having intelligence and speed vs one fighter having intelligence and power. Cotto won that power wins.

thats true...but cotto also wasnt exactly a chump in the speed department either.

[ronnie_N.]

as i prefer exciting fights, it would be "balls"...

so everytime i walk out of the venue, i will be like: man! what a fight! ****!!!

not like: man! what a masterful display of intelligence in the ring! yes!!!

Well how about Matt Remillard vs Mikey Garcia. I think this is a proper comparison. I mean Matt Remillard did manage to hit and outbox Mikey Garcia in a few rounds but Mikey Garcia's power punches just finished him off in the later rounds.

Another one, Ivan Calderon vs Giovanni Segura. Another text book example of power over speed and intelligence.

Absolutely Intelligence!

Intelligence is what is keeping you from getting hurt, while you're beating your opponent.

Intelligence should be what we respect the most. We always expect it to win.

you would take the balls because you lack em, and you wanna see what its like having some.

only person refusing anything is your idol

thats why i said balls........but is all balls!..look up the word ballls and pac appears.....

[Rockin']

I pick heart. When that bell rings and you're all alone fighting some guy if you don't have the heart it won't matter how fast you are or how smart you or how hard you hit. Without the heart you fold, game over.......Rockin'

This thread is unfair, you can't be a fighter if you only have one of these traits.

[straightleft]

I want power, speed and chin.
