    Chin/punch resistance because you'll be in every fight and always have a chance

    Also technique and fitness are things a good trainer you can improve on while a chin is something that you're stuck with for the most part

            Stamina is maybe the greatest attribute to have. If you're not that fast, you can learn timing. Possessing an absolutely fabulous jab can trump both speed & power. But stamina & endurance, those are hard to beat.

              Height and range. Although you can compensate for it by learning how to cut the ring off and box on the inside ideally I would like to box like Hearns and height and range is one of the few things you can not improve with training. Stamina can be earned by training like a beast, power can be improved through training plus with height/reach I'd have leverage on the punches, speed I would compensate for by keeping the opponent at bay with jab and/or timing them.

                I would say most ATG fighters had amazing chins. Some had power, some had speed, some had skills.......most had chins. Chin and durability are important in a game where even if you fight a slow fighter with no power, chances are you are gonna get hit.

                    It's a cliche, but cliches are cliches for a reason. Everything works off of speed.

                      speed often covers for guys when they make mistakes

                      if you're fast, your shots travel faster and are harder to see. opponents get hurt with what they don't see, it's boxing 101.
                      Yeah but eventually you become like Roy Jones......

                      Stamina, outwork your opponent, one thing the best in the sport have in common is that they have great stamina.... You can have decent speed and great stamina and get many wins. But I have seen people with good speed get their asses handed to them. What good is being able to take a bunch of punches, when eventually you will get served anyway. A well known iron chin means your defense sucks.... How else would people know you cant take a ton of Punishment?? Margarito/ Pacquiao comes to mind.
