Which boxers were known for their high work rate?

The classic three to start with are Armstrong, Marciano and Pryor. Rocky unloaded around 100 punches in round 15 of Charles I, a stunning close for a heavyweight. Pryor averaged that for an entire fight in Arguello I. Armstrong's large heart resulted in an abnormally low resting rate. With his genetics, he could have been a champion triathlete.

 

Jimmy Young has got to be way, way up there. Tremendous stamina and determination to never let fights get close, no matter what the risk. The true definition of an ATG volume puncher. If he wasn't grinding you down to a TKO, he was winning a wide UD on the cards.

 

Not to mention the raw concussive power behind every punch.

 

Good posting about Young above

he wa a real killer. I'm going to upload his spectacular stoppage over Bailey tommorow just to prove to you haters that he could punch

 

He even knocked down BIG GEORGE FOREMAN! :shock:

Good, yes. I too am tired of those aforementioned haters, drinking their haterade and thinking I'm talking about Aaron Pryor VS Larry Holmes and Young wasn't a brutal puncher. They're just trippin'. Plain and simple. Haters gonna hate. :deal

 

Marciano had an incredible work rate

from the gym, to round one, to round 15.

 

how about the current fighters?? P-Will and??

 

Just to be different.
Ted Kid Berg
Jeff Fenech
Ike Ibeabuchi

 

relative for his size and age vitali K has a high work rate...im thinking pac has a pretty high work rate?

 

Joe Frazier had an immense work-rate. He was an unrelenting juggernaut for every minute of every round. Definitely has to be up there with the likes of Henry Armstrong and Aaron Pryor.


Active fighters: Manny Pacquiao, Paul Williams

 

P. Dub was great at flailing his arms about. The Martinez rematch was merely a fluke.

 

I can feel Bodhi's German rage from a mile away.

You're not wrong. He's a bit of a freak, all things considered. I blame Chernobyl.

 

Marciano and Armstrong should be on everybody´s list.

I´ll throw in Lou Ambers, Harry Greb, Beau Jack, Fighting Harada.

 

I echo the ultimate busy fighter Fighting Harada.
