What is One Massively Underrated Thing That A Fighter Possess That Gets Over Looked!
One thing that stands out to me is Mayweather Chin, that dude can take a shot. That shot Maidana hit em with that knocked out his tooth, that shot would have put down pratically everyone else, think only Margarito,Rios,Ruslan would have stood up to that one.
Kovalev and Froch box better than a lot of people give them credit for. Pacquiao's chin gets overlooked also i feel. Obviously he was put to sleep by JMM, but his chin has held up elsewhere through-out his career.
Kovalev's boxing skills. We all know he's a big puncher but he is technically sound too.
Klitschko's movement and speed. Maybe he is slowing down now but he was a good mover and had good speed for such a big guy. I actually think that was one of the things that surprised Haye in the fight. I think Haye thought he would have a very superior speed and movement advantage to Wlad and would use that advantage, until he actually got in there and realised it wasn't that simple and Wlad was no big robot at all.
Mayweather's chin is another good call. He walked right into that Maidana shot which would have dropped almost anyone. His power too, he's definitely not a big puncher but strong guys like Canelo weren't too keen on trying to walk through him once they tasted a few good right hands. I think if he wanted to sit down on his punches he has a bit of pop but obviously he's very safety first so really puts much on them. He's a very strong guy too, you never see many people outmuscle him.
Might sound a strange one but Robert Guerrero's boxing ability. The reason i say this is because he seems to have abandoned his skills altogether. If you watch some of his fights at lower weights, he was a very tidy boxer with good skills. He become more of a brawler as he went up in weight, which seems strange because you would think he would want to use more skill against bigger fighters.
Pacquiao and GGG's counter punching abilities
Floyd Mayweather's jab to the body and body attack in general
Emanuel Augustus' head movement:lol1:
Roberto Duran's feints
Broner's ability to.........punch behind his head?
I'd go with his ability to shake his head "no" about 30 times per round,and his ability to clinch for long periods of time. He must do some crazy push ups to get that much clinching strength.
Not specific to one fighter but - Anticipation in a fighter in can make them look even faster than they are, it is a great quality to have, and not all fighters possess it.

Yea Floyd has a damn good chin on him,considering when he is hit clean he usually is coming into the shot
Klitschkos movement, hes pretty quick on his feet when he moves around the ring.
Yea i remember his fight with Ray Austin he looked very light on his feet
Matthysse's boxing ability
Yea his fight with Ruslan he looked great
That's a great question. I think of something like Lucian Bute's body punching. He's passed it now, but when he was at his best, he was one of the best fighters at keeping range and managing to land damaging body shots from the outside.
Also Hasim Rahman who was awkward and slow and kind of right-hand happy, but he also had a very good jab.

The benefits of provided mental pressure/pace.
Have been re-watching a ton of "The Professor" Azumah Nelson fights recently, and it's amazing to see how many fights he won by simply keeping his opponents under durress (even when he wasn't throwing his own shots) for so long and at so hard a pace that they simply wilted under the pressure. A beauty to see
