The most important thing in any fight is intelligence and calm.

Things happen slower when you're calm because you can think quicker.

So regardless of how strong or fast you are, you can realise an opportunity and end any fight with a single punch to the throat.

Speed is nothing if the guy doesnt have the power to do any real damage, and its kinda hard to single out a specific weak point to your opponent. And big guys can often move just as fast the as the "fast guy" in a closed in area (most fights ive ever seen have been that way).

Im reminded of, well, just about every time someones hit me (generally chest or gut). Im a pretty big guy, and the result is virtually every time that they hurt their hand more than me.

No...not really
If you know where to hit him then and can do it fast enough...
From personal experience, like Anonsaid "The most important thing in any fight is intelligence and calm."  and it helps to be cooridinated <==== Beleive me, it does

I never said calm and coordination werent helpful, they are absolutely. But, not everybody has these particular qualities, and this is a comparison of size/power vs speed.

I have some natural talent

but my instructor is Grandmaster Yong Chin Pak - 7th Dan in Tae Kwon Do, 6th Dan in Hapkido and 6th Dan in Judo

I can agree with that
just look at that one dude from Oklahoma, can't remember his name tho
But, I know he died from AIDS

Anyway, he dominated with strength

If it's a choice between strength and speed, my personal choice is strength.

Because speed is for people who are scared of getting hurt.

I can take one HELL of a beat without it even fazing me, so my priority in a fight is being strong enough to pick someone up, throw them to the ground, then jump on their heads and kick them in the throat till they stop twitching.

Works like a goddamn charm.

quite recently, a really big friend of mine was the victim of a little joke. i saw the whole thing. a guy i know, real fast, ran behind him, shouldered him into a bunch of lockers, and dashed off down the hall. it took my friend from 5 to 7 seconds to close the distance and nearly break the poor guy over his knee.

Goes to show what a really good flow of adrenaline can do for you.

I once chased someone down with a mildly sprained knee.

Once I gets meself into a fightin' mood, I tend to ignore all pain until whomever caused it is thoroughly bleeding.
