POLL : Which physical attribute would you rather have?

[New England]

a guy with a chin and speed is a tough puzzle to solve if he doesnt gas out

if he cant hit hard (paulie maglinaggi, for example,) he can either be outpointed or worn down



i think that the most important aspect of a top flight boxer is his chin and then his speed in order. and of course, without a lick of power, you have to box and win the majority of the rounds


with power you can make a comeback against an insurmountable amount of rounds your opponent has in the bank. you can take a break during the rounds because you dont need 3 minutes of work to win them. you can win them with a few clean punches.



and finally, skills and conditioning trump them all.
you dont need to be a gifted athlete with great natural endurance to make it at the top, but you do need to be in top condition.

[Axlsmith]

I would like to go for speed.I like watching the guys with fast hands.In terms of what would help me win more fights i would probably go for stamina.Speed is great but it is useless without the stamina to back it up.A fighter with good timing and a cool head will negate speed.Good stamina is a solid foundation for everything else to be built on.

Long story short I would go for Stamina

[Optimistic]

I chose speed.

[THE REED]

Speed, all day every day.

[HEZEKYHWH]

good stamina = good chin

with chin + stamina all i need is intelligence to box with the best of'em

^^^^^ THIS. You dont have to be the fastest, but if you can take a punch and endure the storm, the "W" is yours... In most cases...... IF YO HAVE GREAT STAMINA... This is what just happened to Macklin, he has a chin, he can fight, but he didnt have any stamina...

I'm surprised power and chin got so few votes.

No 'exceptional timing' option?

Timing is not a physical ability, it's something you learn.

[Jay Volcano]

I'd prefer to have an exceptional chin, you can walk through anything, most times you can eventually get to your opponent.

Not if you fight against an intelligent opponent.

[Cardinal Buck]

The top guys at heavy, cruiser, and light heavy tend to be tall and rangy right now.

[iNDOSMOKE]

I'll have to go with height and reach. If I suck at the rest atleast it'll be harder for my opponent to get at me. No point of having speed if u get drop the moment u get hit.
