Which is more important? Which is more likely to get you a win.

I Take care about Size. Speed wins. Power is good but not better than Speed.

speed and chin.
 
I’m taking toughness over either of them but I used to fight throughout my hockey career and I was always more worried about the fast guy. A hard shot can be avoided or if you’re tough enough, absorbed but a fast guy who can pepper you is worse.

My hardest opponent wasn’t the 6’4, 235 pound bear on skates, it was the 5’10, 190 pound guy with fast hands.
 
Isn't speed a part of power?


Speed can make power but true power comes at any speeds. You can throw a bb as fast as you want and it will hurt and cause damage but throw a 50lb kettle ball and it’s gonna wreck shit going slow as hell.

The kinetic energy of a moving object is directly proportional to its mass and directly proportional to the square of its velocity. This means that an object with twice the mass and equal speed will have twice the kinetic energy while an object with equal mass and twice the speed will have quadruple the kinetic energy.

Speed is more important than power because as they say the hand is quicker than the eye and the punches that hurt you are the ones you don't see coming.

True to a certain extent but we're not just an object of a relative mass moving towards a target at a fixed speed, throwing a strike is a bit more complicated than that.......
