    Good call. You could say chin or recovery ability/legs. Tommy didnt have that uncanny sense of how to survive when he was buzzing.
    Ali described it as having a sprinkler system of off in your head then he would instinctively know to hold, run, clown, have Angie cut his glove. It was necessary

    If Joh L Sullivan had never touched liquor, he would have been absolutely terrifying.

    If Sam Langford had been of average height for a heavyweight, let's say 6' 1'', he would have been nearly unbeatable.

    If Jim Corbett had top end durability, he would probably have never lost, right up to the second Jeffries fight.
