    Thanks ! I never looked into this, it dispels the myth, and if you were still standing when round 5 started Joe began smelling napalm and cranking up the attack.

    It's not so much that he started slow as it was that his stamina was insane and that he developed a second wind like a champion runner would. As opponents started to tire, he was just starting to get his second wind.

    Basically, insane conditioning.
