    If you're talking of the Tyson from '99 onwards I'd agree. It was okay otherwise.

    Can anybody come up with some names who had bad stamina back in the 15 round era?

    A host of South African heavweights come to mind...Coetzee, Knoetze, Schutte (Not that he fought 15 mind) etc.

    As for the lighter weights, I can't really recall anyone right now. Who would your picks be?

    I've heard Peter Maher was a real front runner who thrived off of his training, which was ridiculously extreme.

    He became a hardcore alcoholic so I'm imagining his stamina went to **** towards the end of his career.

    Lyle was not great ...

    Bonavena was not great ... in heart or stamina ...

    Liston was not terrific ...

    DeJesus was not amazing ...

    Yaqi Lopez was not great ...

    Oscar De La Hoya obviously was weak ...
