    Funny that he's my favorite boxer then right ?:huh

    His chin let him down one too many times, he would of been a better champ without that Fragile Glass MAndible.

    By the way, the guy in your avatar has a Glass Dome. How is his knee?:!:

    You can protect your ability to hold a shot with movement, stamina \ recovery and defence. If you hit really hard and the opponents know this then it's a huge advantage.

    How many good boxers would have been ATG's if they had World Class Elite punching power quality?

    How many chinny fighters would have been ATG's if they could hold a shot better?

    If you can clean KO opponents, chances are you will be more popular and earn bigger bucks!

    i'd say a "great punch" because then I'd try to KO my opponents quicker than if i had an average punch.... it's not like i'll KO a guy by throwing my chin at him...i could still get outboxed and lose.

    I prefer an incredible punch no questions about it, because with an incredible punch you'll always have a puncher's chance against someone that outclasses you having an incredible chin on the other hand will just prolong your suffering in front of unsurmountable odds. The drawbacks of having an incredible chin as your bread and butter to win fights is just too costly once you get to a point when you have to retire (Parkinson's, brain damage, etc...)

    Chin would work out better in the long run as ultimitaly most punchers get in trouble when they run into someone they can't KO. Also they often have poor skills cause they end up fall in lover with thier power and start becoming headhunters.

    But having a great punch would probally let you earn more money as you would get hyped up faster and be seen as a monster.

    It depends on the other variables... what type of skills can I have as a support? If I can be skilled I pick Chin. If I can be skilled defensively and be "tall" I pick punch.
