    Could a great defensive fighter, or counterpuncher get away with not having to train so hard. they would mostly rely on natural ability & reflexes. Pep & Benitez spring to mind right away.

    I'd say the answer to this thread ( and probably hundreds of others ) is quite simple.

    The guys of yesteryear were FIGHTERS, whereas today these guys are ATHLETES, who happen to be able to fight.
