    I've decided to find out what are your best 3 boxing attributes are and your 2 worst attributes.

    My Strongest Attributes
    1) Power - Not to be arrogant but I have amazing power. My trainer was originally going to have me lose weight since I am small for a heavyweight (6'0) but then he realized the power now he wants me to gain weight and go from 205 to 235 in muscle and if I grow some more great if not I still have heavyweight power.
    2) Hand Speed - I can beat the punch. I still need to be faster but my handspeed with my power has been there from the beginning.
    3) Desire - I have the desire to do it professionally and am going to...bottom line.

    Weaknesses
    1) Foot Work - My power is amazing but my footwork sometimes weakens it where I am off balance.
    2) Agility- My body does not move as fast as my minds tells it to, should start to with the longer I box though.

    1. Agility - I have powerful legs and good balance.
    2. Footwork - I work on it a lot and my legs help.
    3. Speed - I'm pretty explosive. I really need to work on my timing though.

    1. Stamina - I've always struggled in this department. I walk around with about 9% bodyfat so it's not like I'm fat. Just my genetics I guess.
    2. Experience - Haven't been boxing for very long. Have a video of me sparring if anyone wants to check it out.

    Heart- I never give up no matter how tired or hurt I am.
    Footwork- Pretty solid, I stay on balance
    Form/Technique- Goes with my footwork, pretty solid.

    Experience- Always need more experience.
    Stamina- I need to run more often for longer periods of time in order to have the gains I need in this area. I need to be able to last for 4-5 rounds of intense sparring but so far I am having trouble doing 3.

    +'s
    1) Jab. I have a good heavy jab. I'll hit you in the mouth and body guaranteed.
    2) Reach. I've got a decent reach advantage most of the time.
    3) Right hand. Once that jab starts pumping, its only a matter of time before I hit you with the right.

    -'s
    1) Experience. Been doing this for over a year and still feel like a newbie sometimes.
    2) Defense: I need to work on slipping and blocking punches more.

    1. Jab. My trainer says my jab is very good. I know it to because I can seem to tag anyone w/ it even if they are a very fast fighter.
    2.Power. My coach says i have some talent for natural punching power.
    3. Speed, lots of ppl I spar with say I am quick and I feel fast too.

    Weaknesses.
    Stamina: I have been working alot harder on this and I truly believe it might be the most important thing in boxing besides heart.
    Footwork: This could really be alot better. I seem off balance at times.

    1) I am good at Fight Night Round 3
    2) I watch boxing, and even classic boxing on TV
    3) I made a youtube vid of me hitting a heavybag with metal music in the background

    1) Since I have such mad KO power I can't find a bag that doesn't bust.
    2) My swinging backfist is awesome, if it were legal in boxing I'd be heavyweight champ.

    For every strength you have, it can also be a weakness. The only way to make the best of what you are, is knowing how to manipulate the two to get the best result.

    Strengths:

    Stamina
    Chin
    Left-handed power (I'm a southpaw, and had pretty good sock in the left, and punched like an eight-year old girl with the right. Just pawed with it, it was embarrassing).


    Weaknesses: (Only TWO??)

    Agility
    Speed

    ..........I'm sorry, I have to continue......

    Overal athleticism
    Jab
    Right hand
    Defense
