    And you were given an incredible gift in one of the attributes essential to Boxing which would it be?

    Punching Power
    Speed
    Stamina
    Iron Chin
    Balance
    Cut-proof skin
    Steel Ribs

    I'd be drawn to the more physical side of things - probably the Iron Chin. Everything technical you can improve on but with the chin you either got it or you ain't.

    I think watching Margarito influenced my decision slightly...

    power punching maybe, because even if your slow you might eventually connect with the other guy once and its night night for them.

    slightly ????? u mean tremendously. lol id def take the iron chin. everything else you can develop. you can always get faster, get stronger, gain more stamina. but a chin .. either you have it or you dont. margarito def has it

    Iron chin. You can work on skill, technique, defense, stamina etc. but chin not only is extremely important but you can't really improve it.

    I suppose speed could be used as a substitute to an iron chin. But the speed would have to be insane and you would have a relatively small peak once that speed goes - see Prince Naseem!

    Long term problems might arise from iron chin - take too many blows for too long and you'll probably eat your 50th birthday cake through a straw.

    Punching power, it can save you alot of time and effort if you can blast people out of their with 1 shot.

    Stamina. If you don't have that forget about boxing.

    it's not up there, but i think i would take top notch footwork before anything listed.

    wait, that probably goes under balance maybe?
