Was Calzaghe the most naturally fit boxer youve ever seen?

One of them

 

Considering his size, no one comes close to his workrate.

 

I dunno
Didn't help him any in the Bhop fight

 

Well it obviously did as he won the fight, landing a record amount of leather on Hopkins in the process.

 

I think there's some guys that match his workrate, but none of them that could, could match his talent.

 

other than pryor, yes. but zaggers was 28lb bigger so you gotta give him respek

 

Naturally fit in what manner?

He had an excellent engine but I can name quite a few other fighters
that did as well, at his level, possibly top 5 or 10 however.

 

Naturally coked up.

 

His workrate was crazy and he was so fluid with his combinations, which is in my opinion, one of the most underrated things in boxing.

 

Take a look at prime pictures of Jack Johnson, Henry Armstrong, Ezzard Charles, Ray Robinson, and Sam Langford. Then ask that question again. And like I've said before, Young Peter Jackson looks ridiculously fit in those old photos.

 

Margarito was smaller but also threw hard punches for 12 rounds. Pacquiao at Featherweight was almost an unbelievable freak of nature with his conditioning. Look at him against Barrera. Though I admit that's easier to do when you're 126 pounds. He never stopped. Aaron Pryor against Arguello was incredible.

What these guys did though was throw power shots. Slappy punches don't sap your energy. Calzaghe was a slapper.

 

I agree until you said that slappy punches don't sap your energy.
I can tell you that even soft punches can drain you.

 

Well yea they drain you, but relatively speaking they do not. As in harder punches take more energy.
