Inoue's stamina is pound4pound number 1. He throws every punch with power and never slows down in fights. Against Donaire even with a devastating injury from round 2 Inoue still finished the fight strong where as most other fighters would have willted. Name any boxer (who doesn't just throw arm punches) that has comparable stamina to Inoue?
Usyk's stamina may be better P4P, a 210lbs guy who throws 909 punches whilst dancing for 12 rounds? Damn good if you ask me. Inoue is damn good though. Mikey?
I actually haven't seen a lot of Usyk's fights. Valid point, he does move around a lot for a cruiser weight but Usky also does what Lomachenko and Golovkin do, which is mixing in a lot of taps with solid punches so not every punch they throw fully exerts them. Canelo is another boxer who throws every punch with power but we know how bad his stamina is, and he doesn't have a work rate any where near Inoue's. Although I remember Usyk taking a step back to catch his breathe during one of his fights, so may be his stamina is not at Inoue's level. Mikey does not fight at a high pace/velocity like Inoue. When Inoue throws punches you can feel the velocity of his punches by just watching him.
Agree! Considering the weight they bring into the ring, Usyk is the first one I'm thinking of, when great stamina is being discussed.
Thete is generally a correlation between composure and good stamina, composed fighters are way more efficient with their energy so it in turn is put to better use. Inoue is very composed.
