I'd say its more about individual and mentality. I'd argue that Floyd and Bhop lasted so long because of their dedication rather than style. Look at Salido. That guy has taken more damage in one fight than Floyd has in his entire career but no one would call him damaged goods and he's still a danger to anyone he fights.
Yes I think it's a combination of genetics and sustained punishment, etc. Obviously Salido can come back from a beating much more easily than other fighters can. Guy is a warrior.
