If you are a Boxing Trainer, which "S" would you look in Boxers?

"Sellout"? :huh

 

Everyone knows skill is the most important asset after dedication.

 

Good skills and fundamentals will take you a long way in boxing. Of course speed and natural talent is a great God given gift, but if you can become a textbook boxing professor and do things by the book you can get the timing and defense down that negates that speed and it will make for a longer carrer when that speed diminishes.

 

You got that right. Oscar had to sellout. His skills were diminishing.

I go for my 2 D's..

Dedicated and determined..

 

Swillingness to learn.

 

like someone mentioned prior, spirit. pacman is just oozing of that and the rest, speed, strength, stamina, and skill will follow if they have a strong spirit

 

Speed of course. If the fighter has the desire you can learn strength, skills, and stamina. Speed is a God given ability and is something that gives you an edge, especially in the amateurs.

 

In terms of natural ability I'd go with speed. Speed = power Speed = reflexes (getting out of the way). Skill, Stamina and Strength can be devloped around speed.
