    From the list you posted, I'll take reflexes over everything else.
    That gives you a hell of a foundation to work with.

    I'd go reflexs, allows you so wiggle room with regards to rest of the attributes

    Being able to drill a big fast right hand down the middle and follow it up with a left hook. Simples.

    Easy: Iron Will
    Iron Chin fighters can get easily outpointed by feather fists.
    Powerful punchers have punked out.
    Fighters with stamina have been outsmarted
    Reflexive fighters have been outgutted
    Defensive fighters have been outhustled
    Ring IQ-Talented fighters can lose the will to fight if they meet an iron chin.

    But the mofo who is down 8 rounds to 3---
    Swolled face, bleeding profusely, tired as hell....but has the will to win.

    Salido outboxed by Loma but his will to win...and the nutshots...ok and a terrible azz ref in Cole helped pulled him the win. ok bad example...:duh

    Down on the cards Demarco willed himself to beat Linares.
    Douglass will power got him off the canvas against Tyson.
    Holyfield willed himself through the infamous Round 10 Holy-Bowe I
    Ray Leonard down on the card against Hearns..willed himself back in
    Benn's will got him back in the ring after Gman blasted him out.

    Will Power is difficult to gauge or measure; an intangible over tangibles

    Pretty hard to argue with this.
    I just watched around 10 of Holyfield vs Bowe the other day- man, that uppercut! You could Holy’ body just go limp for for a second.
    Also, throw in Ali in Manila - I’m dying. This is what death feels like.

    Iron Will......

    Without Will you cannot follow with skils !

    The greatest force in the universe is the power of Will.,.........


    If you don't believe me watch Green Latern!

    Being a typical Mayweather fan there are 3 attributes I look for in a fighter

    1. Their ethnic origin (African Americans are best)
    2. Being managed by Al Haymon
    3. Evidence of misogynic activity on their criminal resume

    it is a good question although a little bit of both.. If you look at all the greats, the one thing which they all have is boxing IQ..They have to have this to be great.. And most have power..

    To be fighting for the World Heavyweight title and have that once in a lifetime lucky punch thus and winning the title, ok next fight i would get beat, but my bank balance would set me up for life, so yes luck.
