    Based on the following attributes (feel free to add more), over the last 25 years who would you pick as number 1 in each category? (you can only pick the same boxer in up to 3 categories)

    Power
    Heart
    Chin
    Footwork
    Handspeed
    Jab
    Stamina
    Boxing brain
    Adaptability

    Does each attribute have to be assigned to a different fighter?

    Khan's handspeed is faster than Calzaghe's, even keeping in mind the size difference. Khan possibly has the fastest hands of any British fighter, ever.

    If he didn't have handspeed he'd be useless because nothing else about him is outstanding.
