    When I think of modern fighters I think of guys like Mayweather who can totally turn a fight around in the latter rounds and Calzaghe who turns up the heat, etc.. I'm just curious about the all time greats and other present fighter who seemly overwhelm fighters in the second half.

    Alexis Arguello usually OWNED the championship rounds.
    SRL would have lost to Hearns over 12 rounds.

    Arguello koed Ruben Olivares and Alfredo Escalera twice in the 13th round the explosive thin man had awesome stamina.

    Joe Calzaghe is the best in todays categorie. Hopkins is also good in the latter rounds, imagine is their fight goes the distance one hell of a fight I think, and and absolute supreme 12th round may be in the making.

    Ali. Frazier not coming out for the 15th alone is enough to qualify Ali in this category.

    Prime Felix Trinidad was an awsome late round fighter. He would be sitting in his corner not even sweating or breathing hard and by the late rounds if his opponent was still standing he was usually just a punching bag.
