I think hopkins could of for a few fights but not as long as he rained as champion down tot he fact he did start boxing as a pro at a very late age...
I am sure there as a fringe fighters who could of too, Jeff lacy was super fit...
Prime Ricky Hatton
Prime Joe Calzaghe
Marco Antonio Barrera
Manny Pac
Juan Manuel Marquez
Mayweather no probs not so sure about Hatton because he's in his prime now really
shockingly i agree with u - fuck maybe its the rum talking... ;DQuote:

i think theres only two guys that could:
pac and floyd, pac could get there the easy way or the hard way. Floyd could get there the easy way no doubt, but not so sure if he can last 15 if he fought pacs pace.
We can't keep getting on people will start to talk ;DQuote:

Yes im on about Hatton that fought Kostya but you are right that was his only great performance would like him to back in big leagues with big win over Castillo.Quote:

Hearns I think proving more with his wins over Cueves,Duran,Benitez, Hill. but Delahoya is great.
mayweather
hopkins
calzaghe
pacquaio
toney
In all likely hood, every fighter could, it's just that their punch output would drop per round because they'd probably pace themselves for those extra 3 rounds. It would be interesting to see if someone could find the average number of punches thrown when fights were 15 rounds and the average number thrown now.
Floyd, Hopkins, Toney, Pacquiao, Barerra, Morales, Ouma, Soliman, Wright, Vitali Klitschko (though he's only had to go the distance ONCE), De la Hoya, Mosley, Arce.
Lots of these guys have great stamina but some are just friggin tough or have a style that is built to go the distance.
Roy Jones Jr.
Evander Holyfield
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
Shane Mosley
Winky Wright
Pacquaio
Toney
Acre
Quartey
Ouma
, and pretty much everyone that could go 12 without getting super tired... Hearns could do it, and he had horrible stamina, you just have to pace yourself differently.
Didnt HAtton used to go hard for 20 rounds in training?
Or spar for 30 or something?
Im sure I saw that on video once.
Not Oscar that's for sure!
Easily Hopkins & Floyd.
Hopkins is a slow starter & has never to my knowledge tired out & I've got every match 'cept his loss @ 175 on disc.
Floyd is by far, hands down, a shoe in for the question.
Any man that spars 15 to 20 rounds, throws upwards of 5,000 punches, & switches out partners is a no brainer.
Yes, those two are the ones that spring most readily to my mindQuote:

No way does Oscar do 15 round
Yeah he could... A lot of those guys would get tired around the tenth then get a resurgence 2-3 rounds later in the 13th or 14th round.Quote:

HE may have gone the distance if he fought like MAweather did . Then again there wouldnt be a fight to watch if they both went backwards ;)Quote:

Alot of guys could last 15 rounds, but Floyd might be the only one who would be the most effective after 12, the other guys would have to pace themselves, where he wouldn't.
Well bro he paced himself real slow on the last 12 .Quote:

De Leon and Valero.
