    1. Heart

    Boxers have been great off the back of being exceptional the other attributes in different combinations, but every one of them had heart.

          I just wanted to make it an even 10 spot.

          Chin more so than heart. A guy can be too brave for his own good.

          Still, if I had to pick my top 5 or bottom 5, I'd pick my top 5 everyday.

            So true, power alone is very easy to cancel out, but not if it's landing faster than you can physically react to it and coupled with having the stamina to continue to throw it. You gave me some examples of people who cancelled out power, but they were all cat quick. Marquez is a master boxer and Mayweather still timed him over and over again, mostly due to speed and boxing skills. However there are times when even the most fantastic boxers fall prey to speed + power, Hearns getting run through by Hagler is an example, Maidana pushing Mayweather to an inch of his undefeated career with nothing but stamina and power alone really. It was entirely crude and yet many still think he won the fight. Even Wilder scratched a draw, purely because of his power and his speed, regardless of how you saw the fight, the knockdowns were a result of exactly that and i'm not sure we can call Fury a no hoper

            However this could honestly go back and fourth 100 times! I think it's a little redundant to try and disprove somebodies idea of most desirable attributes because there are literally examples of everything disproving everything else
            All true

            Thing is, when the power doesn't work, that guy is usually lost.

            ''Derrrrr wud do I do now ?????''

            I love ko's/slugfests but if it were me, I'm fighting smarter, not harder
