Precise counterpunching... The kind that stops aggression in it's tracks and discourages offensive minded fighters. Also, being able to grind and scrap on the inside is highly underrated.

Or rather let's say, skills that aren't taught, natural things fighters just have or not like reflexes, chin, speed, power etcLast edited by PainfromUkraine; 01-20-2014, 03:15 PM.

elite level necks.
on a more serious note, you don't see a ton of tall guys with great chins. i'm talking about guys who are super tall for the weight. paul williams and kelly pavlik come to mind. hell, williams had a great chin when he was a welterweight.
others have said reflexes, and that's a good mention. you see lots of athletic guys in boxing, but you rarely see guys who have elite reflexes to match elite speed. reflexes in boxing are more than instincts. you need to make decisions in tiny fractions of a second.
brains that work that quickly, with the physical tools and the schooling to make anything happen in short windows, are rare.
floyd mayweather has the best reflexes i've ever seen on a boxer.
