What's The Most Important Attribute A Boxer Can Possess?

[Jack Napier]

speed is the best thing a guy can have going for him
you're supposed to hit and not get hit in the ring
without much skill, power, smarts, etc, you can still get it done with speed

[S H A R K B O Y]

A lot of interesting perspectives.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Will in the ring and will outside of it to do what it takes to get fights done and win them over and over. The will to stay disciplined and not get arrogant which has beaten plenty of talented fighters. Will is everything when it comes to any profession. The guy who is willing to do what the other is not has a way better chance of winning.

Douglas-Tyson, Barrera-Morales III, Collins-Eubank to name a few examples.

You can win fights being average in every other area but having excellent stamina and clowning your opponent in the later rounds.

I can't think of anything else that qualifies. There are average guys on the street who can't fight at all and have tons of raw power. "Skill" is simply too general and means different things depending on your style. If a chin is your only strength, you're going to have a bad life after boxing. Speed depends entirely on stamina after the first round.

You could honestly be borderline ******ed, totally distracted in life, featherfisted, and still make a career in boxing if you had excellent stamina and could consistently creep up on exhausted opponents. It's the most exhausting thing I've done and I'm into endurance mountain climbing. Lots of gym warriors who look the part for 1 minute then fall to pieces as exhaustion sets in.

heart above all else trumps anything.

you can be physically gifted with good power, speed, chin, but if you lack in heart and will then you can never become great.

just look at guys like ortiz who are physically gifted but lack the heart to take their career to the next and ultimate level.

[Rockin']

Sharp and well trained eyes. Without them everything falls apart.......... Rockin'

[No Tomorrow]

Chin.

If you can't take a shot to it then you'll be forever limited to the heights of personal success

[mann187]

ability to control an opponent has got to be up there

[H.B.Viper]

A fighter w/out a jab, or lateral movement

is a doomed fighter.
Pt blank. Don't move your head, you're dead.
if you don't work your jab, you're also asking for a early exit!
