Some people seem to be mistaking slow for taking your time. Slow means his punches just don't come fast enough, therefore whoever they're fighting has plenty of time to react, with either a block, a dodge, and/or counter punch. However, an argument can be made for both combinations. Let's assume that a strong but slow fighter is up against a fast but weaker fighter. If the fast and weaker fighter has a good game plan, and he sticks to it, he could very easily win a decision over a slower but stronger fighter. Going the other way, a slower but stronger fighter could always have that punchers chance and knock the other fighter out. That being said, being weaker does not mean that they have a weak chin, and vice versa, being stronger does not mean that they have a strong chin.

I went to Cardiff and watched Danny Williams Vs Matt Skelton a few weeks ago and believe me watching Strong and Slow Boxers dont make very good viewing, so therefore i would go for the Fast and Weak option. Even though as we always say a good big guy will usually beat a good little guy taking the big guy to be the stronger, i think as a viewer i would rather watch 2 fast and weak boxers go at it, a lot more entertaining.

Strong and slow wins in most cases, if not all. The faster and weaker guy may throw 100 punches that don't faze the stronger and slower man, while the strong but slow boxer can win with one punch. In boxing books and mags, writers discuss boxers and sluggers. Guess who wins!

Strong and slow. That way you would take the time to think about something before you do it, and then have the power to do it effectively.

hard to say chris bird is fast and weak,,,but he has only lost to strong and fast boxers,,,when he fought david tua(strong and slow) tua couldnt touch him and won in a great boxing fashion,there is on the other hand george foreman who is slow as a sloth but managed to make it to yhe top,,,but when he fought ali a much faster and weaker opponant than he he lost,,,,so i say speed will win over strength(as long as you are fast enough to stay out of the way of their big punches)

You should even it out. Decent speed and a punch strong enough to hurt your opponent. But if you HAD to choose one, go with fast and weak.

IF I WAS BOXER I WOULD RATHER BE FAST AND POWERFUL! TO BE FAST AND WEAK YOUR JUST WASTING ENERGY JUST TO BE READY TO BE KNOCKED OUT.AND TO BE STRONG AND SLOW YOU WILL BE A BORING FIGHTER WHO IS GETTING YOUR *** WHIPPED BY THE FASTER OPPONENT.
