Great power or Great chin?
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.
"A champion is someone who gets up when he can't"
-Dempsey
It is easy. Chin most definately
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;D.
I gotta go with chin. Best case I can master arsenal and rapid combination punching waiting for a guy to breaks his hands on my cast iron jaw.......worse case & bigger career wise I'm the next Tex Cobb ;D
hahaha like that one;DQuote:

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.
power is definately more exciting
chin might be a better asset
eubank benn is the prime example
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;D
Power would be my choice, end of the day, doesnt matter how good ya chin is, if I pound ya in the ribs with my power ya going down !, ala Mike McCallum, Hatton etc
I'd take power, knock out the genie put him in a bottle for later when I need a chin.
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.
Hard work, proper techinquie, one get more power.
A great chin, comes from birth!!!
