Anyone attribute!!

Hi all,

I've been a long time viewer of the old 606 and new one and thought it was about time I popped my cherry. I've followed boxing from a kid and still enjoy following it as much now.

My first post is this if you could take any boxers one attribute from any generation what would it be, whilst I have limited knowledge of some if the greats as only seen some videos of their fights I grew up around the time when benn/Eubank/Collins were hitting lumps out of each other and always admired Eubanks chin. So for me I would have to say the attribute I would have would be Eubanks iron chin.

What would you guys use?

On another note one of my best friends lance sheehan is having his pro debut tonight in Newport and wish him all the best for tonight!!

All the best to the kid...maybe you can ask him what he'd like....

Ali's confidence...

Thanks trussman I hope he has that confidence tonight I am looking forward to the night as there's a few fights in which should be good.

Welcome aboard sourcerer.

The guts of Duran would come in quite handy I'd imagine.

He's just on the wind up......

Hearn's right hand

Pernell Whitaker's reflexes.

Larry Holmes jab,picking 2,Haglers chin

mayweathers will and dedication

If you put all these attributes together, you sure as hell, have one damn fine fighter.

Truss with regards to Ali did you not think his psychological prowess, played a huge factor in defeating a lot of his opposition??

even liston (the scariest boxer to ever live) was psyched out by him

Your right there Huckerby, didnt ali turn up at a training camp prior to the fight hurling insults at liston?

Why was liston psyched out...???

If anything Ali looked more intimidated..

Ali boxed beautifully...

i remember reading that liston was nervous being around ali because he thought he was a complete nutjob.

whilst i think it was near impossible to go into the ring without being slightly intimidated i think that ali had done much more of the psychological damage in the lead up to the fight. and ali wasnt as scared as most opponents. all impossible to say definitively however thats my take.

but most certainly up there with alis best performances

Ali wasn't as scared as most opponents....

His pulse was so high the fight nearly got called off..

The heart of Chuck Wepner. Guy who would be cut to pieces - but take it and let himself bleed.

Or the heart of Rocky Graziano. Had to take 4/5 punches to land one of his own - and was happy to do so.

The training attitude of Rocky Marciano. The first truly professionally conditioned HW champion of the world. Incredible physical performance and fitness.
