would you rather have a granite chin or 1 punch knockout power?

1 punch ko power.

 

both, like GGG.

 

Granite chin.

With a good chin and solid fundamentals you can beat most fighters.

Everybody gets caught though. Even Floyd. If you have a bad chin you will be found out.

 

Not quite granite but its like would you rather be Malinaggi or David Price...i know who i pick

 

David Tua, a perfect example of a specimen who possessed both attributes to the highest order.

 

No i know, i was trying to think of extreme examples of each category, styles etc can alter the whole question cant they really, i mean look at Khan, glass chin but world titlist-without 1 punch KO power.

 

One punch KO power.

 

1 punch ko just for the excitement factor. Who doesnt love seeing julian jackson. Tommy hearns, john mugabi, etc ko everyone or getting dropped add paul 'scrap iron' ryan to that list

 

I honestly think I'd take the one punch power, I could try to work on defensive skills to mitigate the chances of getting caught. Hell Look at Wilder if the speculation about his weak chin is true he's still in line to make a ton of money before he gets exposed

In the long term I might have a longer career with a granite chin but chances are I'd take more punishment and I'd rather make my money maybe become a 1 time champ and still have my mental faculties when I retire....

 

:deal

 

KO power. I'd rather be known for scoring knockouts rather then being able to absorb repeated blows to the head. You would always have that equalizer even if you were losing a fight. What is a feather fisted fighter gonna do if he's been figured out and down big on the cards?

 

I picked KO power not for the highlight reel knockouts but because having a granite chin is a mixed blessing. I would choose not to have a career that was possibly filled with sustained beatings and taking hundreds of powerful shots to the head.
