    sometimes the better skilled fast guys with no game plan get tired. Taylor reminds me of Khan. He had great skills and speed but didn't fight with a jab in any planned way. just to land his punches.

    IMO Taylor was far more skilled than Khan who just seems to throw flurries of punches for the looks of it, with no power behind them, and no timing either.

    ODLH is probably the best fighter I can think of who past the age of 26 basically didn't have good stamina at the end of the fight.

    I always think of Jermain Taylor when a question like this rears its head. It always begins and ends with Taylor.

    Zab, Berto, Pascal, Maidana also gets tired frequently. Seems like Angulo gets pretty tired if he has a fight that lasts longer than usual for him.

    Ah I kinda disagree. Foreman had almost 50 fights in the first career,got tired in 2 fights? He's remembered for bad stamina because of what happened with Ali.

    He controlled the fights he lost early on. Then in the mid rounds fell away because his opponent could take his best punches and was stopped on his feet whilst ahead on the cards. What do you think it was if not fatigue?
