    I've been watching Henry Armstrong fights recently and I'm thinking now - who had the highest workrate at HW? I'm not talking about one fight, but across whole career. Is it Joe Frazier?

    Rocky had some moments of unbelievable workrate at HW (like Moore fight), but he wasn't consistent enough to pick him over Frazier in my opinion.

    Joe Fraizer consistently....

    But Ike the president for one brutal night was his superior by a margin...

    Twelve rounds or fifteen?

    Ibeabuchi Tua holds the record for most punches thrown in a twelve round fight.

    Maricano managed some insane numbers in the first Charles fight.

    Frazier.

    Try and think of guys that can move their feet and bend at the waist the way Joe could for a full bout. And that's not throwing punches----just bobbing and weaving. Almost all would have an empty gastank after 6 rounds of just doing that, let alone absorbing punches and getting his own shots off.

    Neither was a HW though (although Greb had some HW fights).

    Frazier is the obvious choice but as already mentioned - Ike that night against Tua did not stop.
