    How many fighters do you feel between the 90s all the way to now that could have done well in the 15 round eras and had the stamina built for it. Names that come to mind to me in their peak versions Paquiao, Mayweather, Ike Ibueachi and Tua their output was off the charts and could have probably throw for 3 more rounds, that's just off the top of my head but I'm sure I've missed some so you can add on

    Felix Trinidad is the first that comes to mind. His stamina and conditioning were exceptional. He actually was stronger in the later parts of fights than he was in the beginning or so it seemed.

    He was a runner.

    Any of todays guys could because the old guys were badly conditioned, meat juice gargling, long distance running, glass jawed jokers.

    Modern fighters have much better conditioned punches. They would knock out the old timers within 15 rounds so it wouldn't matter.

    I think Froch could have done better, mainly because he only seems to get started around round 9

    LMAO I don't know though that super iron chin of Jake Lamotta would probably penetrate a steel tank and I would like to know the secrets to Duran's legendary punch that took down a horse :bbb :lol:

    you see a lot of fighters "gas" it today, but off the top of my head, Calzaghe always had good stamina, though I don't think he was hard enough for stronger era's, but few are!

    Manny Pacroid could partake in a triple threat Hell In A Cell match with Jackson and Corbett and still outlast them. Modern conditioning beats the bigger guys from before as well.

    How bad do you envision the likes Duran and SRR being 'out-moderned' with their primitive skills :oops: by today's crop of Elite ATGs? :rofl :!: That whole, feinting the jab and dropping lead left hooks would never work in today's game. Robinson was simply too slow to compete as the film clearly demonstrates. That slack Arguello needs to learn how to throw a straight punch too, half assed jabs and looping right hands. Christ.
