    I hate Hatton with all my heart but for a guy as intense as him, he prollly has one of best of all time.

    I mean it's one thing to have good stamina when youre fighting as relaxed as Floyd or Hopkins but Hatton goes 100% out all the time.


    Also Juan Diaz. Insane Stamina

    I was looking to see if anyone mentioned George. I have to agree with you, Young George was just awful and after 5 rounds, he was pretty much toast and if it wasn't for his punching power, he would have lost more early fights for being gassed.

    Even though he was much heavier and older in his comeback, he was much more relaxed and comfortable in the ring. Those factors helped him do what he did in later life. Plus he was a more personable person and not surly like he was when young. I admire what that man did and how he transformed himself as he aged.

    Henry Armstrong was known to be a freak when it came to stamina "Gilbert Odd penned (1974, p 117), “Armstrong was a fistic phenomena. He had an abnormally slow heartbeat and had to warm up in the dressing room with ten rounds of fast shadow boxing before going into the ring to fight a torrid 15 round battle. He tossed punches incessantly and they came from all angles. He fought so furiously it was impossible to count the blows he struck.”"

    Also Marcianno comes to mind.

    But yeah, I'm a Pascal fan and his stamina his ****. Too much muscle.

    But he can't be worst than Jermain Taylor. Pascal's problem only makes him vulnerable to get outboxed because he has a great chin (and even then, that's for a couple of rounds, he's ok at the beginnning AND the end of a fight), whereas Taylor has been knocked the **** out because of it.

    Not of recent times but Salvador Sanchez had insane stamina. I think he had an irregular heartbeat which made him 100% after having those breaks in between rounds. Unreal.

    Worse? Tyson post-prison.

    For a man that does fat camp and not training camp , it has to be Hatton, especially the amount of clean punches he normally takes.

    Considering less than 1% of the forum'ites can do 8 rounds at top-level pace, talking stamina wise, I'd say there are no losers in this category.

    Ricardo Mayorga can come in horrendous shape at times.
