    Ring IQ
    Timing
    Reflexes
    Power
    Chin

    Timing and Reflexes surely means you have good speed or well above average.
    Ring IQ surely means you have good footwork

    All that matters is the Chin. You can be a **** fighter but if you have an Iron Chin you will always be in the fight to score a late KO or win by quittage.
