    no real point having speed or power if the fighter is not accurate.

    Two others mentioned but when Felix Tito Trinidad had some one hurt he was like a shark with blood in the water straight savage finisher

    The question isn't flawed, but you may wish to add answers- which I could have put up as well.

    The issue is, what matters more. A guy may not have bone-crushing power, but everyone has the ability to hurt you. A guy may have blinding speed, and may daze you to pieces with fast punches to the face that you cannot counter.

    Everyone who enters in the ring at at least a medium experience level, you have to give them the benefit of the doubt with speed and power. But never equal speed or power...

    Let's take for example Floyd Mayweather, he clearly does not have the power at welter the way he had it at jr. welter or lightweight, but he had the speed to flurry guys to pieces. Would you rather be in the ring with him with regard to speed at welter, or in there with Margarito- not that much speed- but certainly more power than Mayweather?

    The point that has already been made here and what renders the question flawed is that it doesn't matter, the issue of speed vs. power in this scenario.

    Speed yes, power no, evil disposition yes = you're getting stopped.
    Speed no, power yes, evil disposition yes = you're getting stopped.


    Speed yes, power no, evil disposition no = you're probably not getting stopped.
    Speed no, power yes, evil disposition no = you're probably getting stopped.


    Whether the person who hurt you is more of a fast guy or a powerful guy is of secondary importance (if that). It's a marginal issue and doesn't come close to playing the biggest part in whether you're in danger of being stopped while hurt. The biggest factors, in order are a) the opponent's bad intentions or lack thereof and b) your own abilities and rate of recovery. How you both carry yourselves after you've been hurt matters far more than whether he's a puncher or a speedster. Because speedster or puncher, he's going to stop you if a) he has the killer instinct and knows how to finish and/or b) you're not keeping your wits about you and conducting yourself in a fit way to survive.
