    He was still about as well prepared as a fighter could hope to be, and it showed in his performance.

    I don't remember Bryant Jennings gassing out, unless I'm mistaken

    Every other top 20 hw has gassed at some point, including Tyson Fury in his younger days, but I don't think Jennings ever has

    HW division is the hardest division to fight in partly because of the stamina issue.

    The little guys, can punch all fight long with high intensity and not have to worry about gassing that much.

    But with the Heavies they are so big and all the muscle needs oxygen so you must be careful and precise. And the power is so great in that division.

    Everything must be perfect. No margin for error at all.

    Look at Foreman. He put Ali on the ropes and gassed and then all of a sudden he was KO'ed.

    Jennings is a good call, Fury too.

    with 2 guys weighing over 250 lbs and pushing each other around, holding, and throwing punches, you shouldn't be surprised they tired out so quickly

    btw, Lennox had shown stamina issues in many of his fights, like vs Mavrovic or during Holyfield II, where he was giving away rounds to rest

    I'd say Vitali and Lennox.
