    Reflexes IMO. A good example is RJJ. Still has terrific handspeed, but his reflexes have diminished greatly.

    As a sidenote, who do you think will be able to fight at the top level until they're in their late thirties- Floyd or Pac?

    I'm gonna go with Floyd. They both rely on their speed, but Floyd has the better boxing fundamentals.
