    Well obviously to be a great fighter you need the talent to go along with other intangibles. It's great to be physically gifted and have the mental toughness, stamina and heart and desire. At the end of the day though, it's about who you beat.

      I think work ethic and discipline is what separates a lot of guys.

              - skill set (how sharp and concise your abilities are, the difference of a minute fraction of how you deliver your punch can be the difference.)
              - intangibles (how you handle adversity, how you react when you're hurt or when you're at a disadvantage in some aspect whether it be speed, power, chin, etc.)
              - discipline (how you train, how serious you take your boxing career, how you maintain your health outside of the gym.)

              Those are what seperate boxers, imo.

                  Desire and Love for the sport makes you great. The Drive to work hard and dedicate your self to the craft makes you great. And to have good boxing technique always helps.

                    ATG = Willing to die in the ring.

                    TBE = Health come first.
