    Right now it is Fury by a lot.[/QUOTE]

    I forgot Fury ,for such a big guy, he is very mobile to the end,you dont see him laying all over his opponents.

    The Puritty and Brewster 1. fights proved wladimir Klitschko hadn't good stamina.

    'modern'.

    I know you're old, but I didn't know you were that old!

    If you are talking about that kind of fighter, then he was the best that there has ever been for stamina.

    I completely agree. But that's not the criteria.

    Fury , Bowe , Joe Joyce.

    Lewis had very good stamina and endurance too when you think about it.

    Golota produced excellent stamina and workrate against Bowe

    5 rounds is a terrible idea

    Fury has good stamina but he certainly has moments where he needs to rest.

    I suppose you could say the same even for smaller heavies like Holyfield. But i have never seen a legitimately big heavyweight with the endurance of a peak Frazier or Ali. I think its quite tough for a big guy to carry so much weight and maintain a high pace/workrate for 12 rounds.

    Bowe would be my overall pick too.

    No it isn't, 5 rounds is more than enough.
    Stamina should be irrelevant.
