    Quote="vast, post: 20671506, member: 64048"]The klitchkos always demonstated solid stamina for their size.

    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.

    Fury. It’s crazy what he can do for 12.

    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.
