What is the "thing" that makes elite fighters what they are?

Why is it that some talented fighters never go beyond domestic level, while others reach world level? What makes an elite world champion that much better than a top 50/40/30/20, and even a level above top 10 and top 5 in the world?

It can't purely be physical attributes as there's been many fighters over the years with superior physical attributes who never reached that elite world level, or became P4P.

For you knowledgeable fellas, what do you think makes the top fighters what they are?

That's such a good answer.

I'm trying not to sway this towards music and keep this on boxing, but Liam Gallagher. Amazing self-belief.

Getting back to boxing, look at all the Four Kings, they had the lot, amazing self belief.

Look at Mike Tyson, look at Pac.

It's that +1.
