    If the fighter is mediocre in all other attributes, then IQ. If not, iron chin.

    You missed-

    Punch volume
    Athleticism
    Explosiveness.

    I personally like to see attacking fighters with Big power and Iron chins. For example, GGG.

    I know that’s 3-
    Attacking
    Big power
    Iron Mandible

    Stamina. Great stamina with all other attributes average. No brainer!

    For me this answer is really easy.
    I'm from a very smal boxing country, so I'd never win a big fight on the cards. KO power would be the only way for me to succeed in boxing.

    Sound fundamentals for me. I hate watching sloppy fighters, guys like T.Fury, Froch, Wilder etc. They don't have to be a technical marvel like Hopkins, Mayweather, Loma etc they just can't make stupid mistakes that many novice amateurs don't even do.

    I have always liked counter punchers, some one who can make you miss and pay.

    Yes I do love a good counter puncher. It amazes me when I see a fighter who hasn't learned to counter punch, their opponent is literally there to be hit and they don't know how to exploit these opportunities.

    The great counter punchers can exploit a seconds mistake. They instinctively know when there is an opening, one of the greatest counter punchers I’ve seen of the 2000’s has to be Marquez. Whilst majority of great counter punchers rely on their speed to make the shot this guy just has uncanny timing.

    You can add a notch on all the other attributes if you have IQ. Although having an iron chin is great but whats the point in being a meathead with an iron chin? You can take a shot yeah, but you are still soaking in the shots on the dome.

    Ultimately great fighters a mix of all with 2/3 (or more) of the attributes as standouts.

    For me its fast hands. Most of the greats have had really fast hands - that allows you to create and exploit opportunities.

    truth. When a man lies he murders some part of the world.

    If he doesnt truly want to do boxing then hes wasting his time having any attribute.
