Mexican boxers with the best stamina?

Sanchez and Chavez are 1A and 1B. Neck and neck imo. Saldivar has an amazing gas tank as well. But I am only just starting to watch his fights and are only toes deep.
You?

 

Miguel Canto and Lupe Pintor had amazing tanks as well.

 

Sal Sánchez first name to spring to mind for me. Ice cool at any juncture in a fight.

 

Carlos Palomino.
Of late lots of chat about underrated champs, he could well be one of them, all round box/fighter, his chin measures up with the best, so to his body punching, his jab was thrown within distance so to maximise the force, he wore the calm unruffled look all great champs carry, ok maybe the slickers might give him trouble, but if you elected to stand up close, you were going to be hit hard and often with fight shortening punches, for me he was the consummate fighter, and only the likes of Leonard, would I see winning fairly comfortably over him, if he elected to box, if he chose to fight ala Duran 1, then not so sure.
stay safe @Thirdtonunn24 , chat soon buddy.

 

I can’t think of any who Mexican boxers with stamina as an Achilles heel.

 

Although not Mexican by birth, Antonio Margarito had world class stamina.

 

Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales also had damn good stamina.

 

A dicey one but would you consider De La Hoya? He’s ethnically Mexican, & although he didn’t have poor stamina, it was a mild weakness of his.

 

In Mexican gyms everything is based on stamina; you run and you spar. Contrary to popular belief you aren't up at 4am jogging for 12 miles. You wake up early before it gets too freaking hot, and you run.

 

Sal Sanchez’s stamina and cool under fire reminds me of the thing in “The Silence of the Lambs” where they tell about Hannibal Lecter chewing some nurse’s face off and his pulse never raising above 85.

I don’t think Sal’s ever hit higher than probably 80, haha, even in a 15-round firefight.

OP nailed it on Chavez as the other obvious one to come to mind. He had incredible workrate and I don’t recall him slowing down in later rounds … more like he got stronger.

 

And the altitude probably has to do with it as well. And the sparring part as well. Considering the fact that Chavez used to spar for 6 days a week. Crazy stuff.

 

What do you think of Palomino-Benitez?

Ive tried watching it, but some reason cant get past 5 or 6 rounds?

It seems to me it was close enough..

 

I heard Sanchez used to run a mile backyards at a time during training?
