Which boxer was consistently the best conditioned?

Actually, Tyson had good stamina in his prime. I've seen all of his fights several times, I've only seen him gas out later in his career.

Watch the Jose Ribalta fight to see what I mean.

 

I said in his prime; you're using examples of later in his career.

Fact is, you have to be a very well conditioned fighter to use Mike's style. This was one of the main reasons he failed later in his career -- he just didn't have the stamina to sustain his style for more than a few rounds.

 

Also weight training post-prison took away much of Mike's stamina as well.

 

Marvin Hagler definitely.
Rocky Marciano too.
And Jimmy Carter.

but I had to pick one I would say Marvelous.

 

Marciano.

 

Bob Fitzsimmons was prety fanatical about his training as was Peter Maher.

 

Rocky Balboa........

 

Marciano,Tunney,Griffith,Mayweather,Jones .

 

Ill add the usual Hopkins ,Hagler,and one not often mentioned Sandy Saddler.

 

Check my earlier post in this thread. I did mention Little Red's reputation in this regard. (I watched his 15 round classic with Mike Ayala, and was stunned by what Sanchez was ablto do to Danny. Sal's handspeed was the key to their matches, not a lack of power on Little Red's part.)

 

You know, I can't remember which fight it was, but Danny Lopez once threw 200 punches in a single round. Thats a phenomonal amount.

Lopez had a very strange style, he had good power and could take out an opponent but he had a very high workrate. Those 2 normally contradict each other

 

Fitz was a prodigious drinker by all accounts so I dont know how religiously he trained ,the night before he fought Jeffries ,in defence of his title he was on a bender,and hungover in the morning when he had a well known altercation with Jeffries about the meaning of a "clean break",the up shot being Jim grabbed Fitz and bodily threw him backwards ,visibly shaking him out of his complacency.

 

Tight as a virgins ***** that Big Ol' Frank

 

...............My bad; I missed it. And kudos for mentioning an oft-ignored fighter here. :good
