    Marcos Villasana over 25 vs a puncher sounds like a horror story.

    Saddler would be the head-to-head GOAT at 126 over twenty-five IMO.

    Ali was a heavyweight pal, but the others are great mentions.

    I think some of his best fights aren't even on YouTube, such as the Joe Rivera and Francisco Fernandez fights. These were classic Mitchell.

    James Toney. Excellent stamina even when 50 pounds overweight.

    Felix Trinidad. He was superbly conditioned and carried his power into the later rounds.

    Marvin Hagler

    I would not want to be on box stats when he went the distance; RSI would destroy the career of many a counter!


    I suspect he would have been the first known fighter to throw 3,000 punches in a fight, if he had fought over the distance.

    He was a force of nature. Its a shame he didn't get to go longer.

    Similar to Padilla, Phillip Holiday had a pretty great gas tank in his prime and may have been able to outlast a lot of people.

    Julio Cesar Chavez if he could sustain a good pace would be hell on his opponents

    Hopkins would of probably of done fine as he was always in shape and paced himself well.
