    If you where a new trainer and had the choice of only picking out of two fighters, but one had a chin softer than freshly baked muffins and the other had the hitting power of a toddler, who do u pick and Why

    same thing goes for boxers as well, if u had to have one of those flaws which one would u manage with and why?




    Feel free to have fun with it

    Pillow hands by a mile, Malignaggi has withstood some epic punishment(Cotto broke his face.). Khan would have been out on the mat from the first shot landed. With weak hands you can at least box your way and win on slickness, glass jaws have it much harder.

    I'd rather have 'pillow' hands easily.

    it depends if i hav featherfists will i hav a granite chin and if i have a weak chin will i have dynamite in my gloves ?

    if so ill go for the glass jaw and killer ko power. get him before he gets you, and fans love punchers even if they hav weak chins look at julian jackson

    I would prefer dynamite Tyson power and a glass jaw because I would just need to land one good clean shot to the end the fight and I would not take brutal punishment like some tough as nails fighters.

    Higher chance of retiring with my faculties intact if I always go down from one semi hard shot.

    Pillow hands easily, cos at least u can go 12 rounds and have skill or speed 2 work with. And with pillow hands it still doesnt mean u cnat stop someone. Hit a brick wall often eenough or hard enough and it will crack.

    Too hard to say. But I might like pillow fist because cuts can happen as well as speed and skill involved.

    Feather fist. You can have a long career and pitty pat your way to an undefeated hall of fame career. Its the path Calzaghe and Mayweather both chose.

    KO power + glass chin = more money
    feather fist + granite chin = more wins

    Someone who can punch hard, but has a soft chin.....= A promotors dream. It will be easyier for you to get fights, because people will fancy their chances with you. But then again, you got that power..!!!

    Life is all about Power..!!
