    speed - always had fast hands, always throw punches in bunches
    punch power - for my weight, decent strength
    stamina - I can keep a steady work rate

    after this it drops off.

    chin - never been koed by a guy close to my size, but I cut a lot and bleed and refs have stopped the contest
    mental power - I am pretty confident and consistent in training, but I can waver in fights and lose focus when hurt, also, for as intelligent as I was in school, I tend to fight like a simpleton with the same swarming style
    skill - ok skill, but erratic and wild - enough skill to allow my speed and power to beat unskilled fighters, but to be beaten by truly skilled fighters
    Heart- the least of my attributes, when I am really, really hurt I will laugh a bit and cover up, I never argue when a ref stops the contest.

    interesting post, how i would rate myself:

    stamina - dont get tired, can keep on going when others cant.
    mental power(confidence/focus) - great at anticipating opponents.
    skill - have a good defense and pressure when i have the upper hand.
    speed - consider myself pretty fast for my weight class .
    punch power - tend to cut people a lot, but don't have that 1 punch power.
    chin - average, never been ko'd, but it's not out of the question.
    heart - I know when I'm done.

    Punch power - It's one thing my trainers and sparring partners comment on more then anything.

    Chin - I can take a good shot, though sometimes I freeze a bit after a good one, leaving me open for more.

    Skill - Like most of us here, I'm a student of boxing, I love feeling safe in the ring through defense and offense, though under pressure I can close up and stop throwing good shots.

    Speed - Quick on the pads and the bags, in the ring I'm slower, though I can still beat people to the punch.

    Mental power(confidence/focus) - I have faith that my punch can hurt people my weight, I like to fight calm, though I have trouble getting fired up sometimes.

    Heart - "This guy is bigger then me" If I'm sparring someone I know is either bigger then me or alot more experienced I can't fight my natural way and just try to survive, making it alot easier for them.

    Stamina - I've not been to the gym for months, I'm smoking again. I still run and work out on the bag, but after a round or two of hard sparring I'd be done at the moment.

    Punching Power - I usually spar w/bigger guys, and I've made a few take a knee or some time to "recollect their thoughts" so to speak. Albeit, mostly with the left hook, the right hand is finally catching up.

    Heart - I've fought with a separated shoulder, fought at a weight class I should've never been at, against guys naturally a lot bigger than me, and been in a good brawl or ten. But I've never been the type to back down, and the pain and hard work make me go harder. Sometimes though, this can be a fault, and lead to me getting into wars when I could easily outbox guys.

    Speed - Most of my speed is in my combination punching. I can throw a pretty quick jab when need be, but it really shines through when I put 'em together.

    Chin - Ties in with sparring with the bigger guys. I'm confident that I can take a shot, well, because I have. Probably one or two here and there that I shouldn't have, but that's improving lately.

    Skill - Improved a lot since I moved out here. Got with some good coaches who've gotten me away from brawling. Now, my defense is exponentially better than it was, my movement is considerably better, and everything just generally "flows" better. Again, I think this comes from sparring those bigger guys, who I can't just muscle around, and have to beat with skill and speed.

    Mental Power - I can have a tendency to lose focus and get drawn into wars, but I think that's more of me just genuinely enjoying the thrill of hitting someone as hard as I can, getting hit, and seeing how long they can keep it up. I let my heart and power get in the way of this, but it's been improving as I move to a more controlled, boxer-puncher type of style.

    Stamina - Before I injured my shoulder, this would've easily been 1st. I was a conditioning maniac. I would spar 8 rounds without too much trouble. I was a marathon runner, sprinter and powerlifter all in one. Toned it down a little to focus on recovering from a few nagging injuries, but now that I'm back, feeling good again, this'll be climbing the charts.

    power-my trainer and sparring partners usually tell me that i hit like a middleweight i figth at 130, my problem is that i relied too much on this and sometimes is not good.
    speed-i am very fast wiith the one-two and single punches but not so fast putting punches together
    heart-i have a heart the size of my gym.
    stamina-i think im okay there.
    chin-been down one with a shot that i didnt see but bounce up at the count
    of 2
    mental-i ride with my emotions, for example when my friends or family are around i tried to slug it out i dont know why, and when im training i can out smart slick boxers easily.
