    Rocky Marciano. He ran 15 miles in training, per day. I also include power that lasts. conditioning is a broad term. but this is boxing. he kept his power throughout a fight. endured......and won.

    LOMO has one of the best conditioning EVER, to win that many fights at that ratio of being ready to fight has to be up there with the best.

    There isn't one. You reach a certain level and there's no meaningful difference. I'll say this though: Jomar Fajardo was in twice with Rodriguez who fought that insane war for twelve rounds with Takayama, and two times Fajardo finished the fight fresher. So I would say those saying Pacquiao? Not even the best conditioned Filipino :lol:

    If I had to give one answer I'd chose Rocky Marciano. That ******* was insane. He wouldn't shake hands or get in a car the week of a fight. He was vibrating like a ****ing tuning fork that lunatic.

    I think you are missing something in this fight.
    Hopkins Jabbed Trinidad's hands, his shoulder anywhere he could hit him for the first six rounds. He hit anything he could touch because Trinidad had to plant his feet to punch. He broke his balance and his heart.
    After that Bernard rallied home .

    Probably Mayweather or a prime RJJ.

    I saw Mayweather throw 6000 punching training for the DLH fight. Mayweather is a beast in the gym and the only reason he hasn't thrown over 1000 punches in a fight is he never needed to.

    When Mayweather and Pacquiao fought we got to see who was in better shape on fight night. Mayweather was as fresh in the 12th as he was in the first and it looked like he could have boxed 24 rounds that night.

    Pacquiao has had his moments but hasn't looked like that since Margarito.

    Good choice. Paul Williams actually ranks very high in terms of conditioning.

    For a guy his size he had super natural conditioning and if he didn't have the accident he might have been able to beat guys like Pacquiao if the fight could be made.

    Prime Tito deserves a mention. Prime Ali and Leonard too.
