With RJJ, I see it slightly differently. His biggest flaw was he never had an iron chin or the ability to survive a war.
In his prime, he had good skill combined with great athleticism. That was enough for him to never have his chin/ability to take heavy damage tested.
He was never lacking in skill, but when the athleticism declined, he wasn't so incredibly skilled that he could avoid damage any more. When he had to take damage, it exposed his biggest weakness.

The ability to survive a war isn't a boxing skill. It's something fighters do when they aren't good enough to just dominate their opponent. See, e.g., 60s version of Ali v. 70s version. The forme rwas inarguably, comprehensively, and objectively the better boxer. The latter demonstrated the ability to survive wars. i hope this example is illustrative.
