How does a boxer with a size or speed advantage use that in a fight? With arm length IIRC there is a thing in there where a guy with a longer reach gets a small bonus (I think +1 but y'all tell me if I'm just making that up). With size, it's definitely power. With speed, I'd say it's *probably* Control Factor but there are a number of ways you could make that work.
I think the big issue here is that Title Bout is based off of a board game that is kind of made to simulate (some of) the results of boxing. The fact that it was originally a board game meant that in order for it to not take 3 hours to sim one match, certain shortcuts needed to be made, and as such even though things like "hand speed" and "footwork" are for sure things that exist in real-life boxing, the Trumbos had to kind of hand-wave that and make it reflected in other attributes in the game. That's not a knock on something which, after all, has been around for more than 40 years.
