    I think it's a great chin. I can think of many great fighters without exceptional power.

    I can't think of any who couldn't take a really good shot.

    I also think it says something that many of the quotes from great fighters refer to reacting to big shots rather than landing them.

    Well as somebody who never intends to box competitively or ever get into a scrap again, I'd definetly say power just so I could show off on rare occasions.

    My wish to the genie would be for infinate wishes , therefore i could then follow with wishes for both a rock chin and KO power.

    Chin indicates how long you can survive, power how fast you can smash somebody down. I am ok with smashing somebody in the long run but definitely not with the idea of not be everlasting. Chin for me, please.

    If two fighters fought each other and each had one of thses attributes the fighter with the good chin will more likely be standing come the end.

    A good chin is your insurance policy.

    Put it this way. Kahn wishes he had the choice. It must be like walking on egg shells for Roach when hes in the corner

    Great power almost gaurantees success. You are considered dangerous at ANY level. A great chin just means you take more punishment. Many journeyman have had stronger chins than great fighters.

    Power is easily the better bet.
