Great post, totally agree. There are some fighters who seem impervious almost, I think in their case the reasons are physiological - the shape and size of the skull and jaw bones, the way their nervous system is arrayed, their neck and shoulders.

Holmes had about the best powers of recovery I can recall seeing. He apparently hit his head and woke himself up against Shavers.

If we’re talking powers of recovery, James, Carl Thompson’s were notable, that Cat certainly had nine lives...

Yeah, I was fortunate enough to be there for two examples, against Haye and Rothstein.

Jealous that I didn’t get to see those live, they are both classics in their own right. You mentioning them prompted me to rewatch them on YouTube and I also found this rather nice interview with the Cat...
