What is the most important gift in boxing?

Ring IQ, doesn't matter what your physical attributes are, if you're too dumb to maximise them or worse, fight in a manner that exposes your weaknesses for opponents to exploit then those gifts become irrelevant.

 

Bravery. Its what sees you enter a ring in the first place and its what gets you off the canvas.

 

Speed.

You can develop IQ to a limited extent but speed will equalize anything.

 

I was gonna plump for amazing speed above all else, and then I remembered Amir Khan ...

 

Gift is something that cannot be given. You can teach a boxer.

I would say athleticism, as is for near any other athlete.

The age old comparison: put a black belt child in with an adult. Put an 85 year old grandmaster in with a 27 year old in his athletic prime.

 

Speed + IQ = RJJ

 

reflexes.
roy jones jr. is a good example. that guy was like putting a boxing glove on lightning.

 

A superfight without a robbery, or fear of one.

 

Power. Because everything can be added on after that. Plus they all hit hard at the world class level usually I meant. Even if you had a crappy trainer, could block basic punches and could throw a good one two and had a penchant/ leaning/ liking towards fighting you could always add more ring iq. Jmo

 

Chin and stamina

 

All of that thinking would go out the window against some crazed psychopath who only cares about spamming power shots to the ribs to tenderize them.

 

bought and paid for judges and ref.

 

Sorry the most important Gift in Boxing?

Then It's A chin. Which I don't have. Hence the name.......


NoChin.

 

Fundamentals, everything comes frrom good training.
