    with speed you can cut your opponent up, win on points and stop them with a barrage of punches with just power you only look for te one big punch

    so because of that id rather speed anytime

    Arriba, you are a smart man.

    People always pay to see punchers, they dont pay to see speedsters that lack KO power.

    I realise that speed often leads to power, but in this instance, your either fast but lacking power, or powerful and lacking speed.

    Power. You make more money as a KO artist than as a slickster and you are never out of a fight. Even the guy with devastating speed will dramtically lower his output once he feels what you are throwing back at him.

    I picked power. With power, you'd get more fans wich means more money.
    In order to make up for my pathetic slowness, I'd simply use the pattented Ruiz style of Jab and grab, then I'd score a KO with my freakish power. So the fight would be dull, but then I'd have a spectacular KO and make a cool highlight reel.
