    Problem is he was a mediocre boxer with average speed and abysmal reach. One punch power means little if you can't connect regularly.

    Chin is more important for a great fighter. Unfortunately, the ones who can take a lot of punishment often end up with brain damage, whereas the guys who go right to sleep don't go as far but can still count their money.

    So Floyd Mayweather or Thomas Hearns?

    I'll choose the granite chin I guess.

    One punch KO power and a glass jaw - don't forget, it's the exciting fighters who put fannies in the seats and make the dough. Glass jawed fighters with concussive power make the $$$.

    It's like asking whether you'd rather be Randall "Tex" Cobb or Tommy Morrison. Who do you guys think raked in more cash over his career??

    i was gooing to say it depend on your other attribures. glass chin will really limit you but a chin is more important than 1 punch ko power

    unless of course you are HW and milk it to make a big payday then get out.

    there really is too many question mark for to really pick, i chose chin then i started thinking about everything else. like to i have any skills ? outside of power ?
