    I'm not talking about a guy gassing in rounds 10-12 and beyond, I'm talking about fighters with consistently terrible stamina. Fighters where if you weathered the early storm, well, they were there to be drowned in deep water.

    Geez, Briggs...I was struggling to come up with an example, but that's a good one.

    Zab Judah is a good 1 too (especially later in his career, earlier he could work hard for the 12)

    Usually old fighters that are punchers, Tyson is a very good example he couldnt carry his danger past the 5th post-prison (bar Botha), Tyszu against Hatton (somewhat)

    Its hard to make it as a top fighter if you have poor stamina though

    Tommy Morrison's stamina was pretty awful in all fights but the one with Foreman.

    Believe it or not frank had good stamina as long as he didn't have a live opponent in front of him:lol:

    It's kinda ironic that Briggs finally won a world title belt with a knockout in the 12th round. You'd never expect that.

    Re Bruno. Yeah, same problem Herbie Hide used to have. Just absolute bug-eyed nervous exhaustion.

    The Tyson/Bruno 2nd fight was a classic as far as nervous/terror exhaustion went:lol: I had floor seats right by the walk in, jeezus i could'nt believe my eyes as Frank's face just looked like he'd taken a 16oz barbed wire glove up the arse:scaredas:

    Just checkout Franks interview after the fight, you could see the total relief on his face it was all over. I fled the MGM rapid with my 12yr old son & instructed him 2 start yappin in a Yank accent, oh the shame:oops:

    I dunno...he only threw about 7 punches all fight, prior to the 12th. What a horrible fight that was.

    Wlad's is terrible too. Geeze, being stopped on TKO's from gassing against a journeyman and a B-Level Brewster? Pathetic. :scaredas: Brewster had terrible stamina himself, out lasted Wlad though!

    Sander's, well, he didn't have to have good stamina. He whupped that ass.
