That is the Sir Paul Kevin thing to you.

If you look through his posts you will find him to be the most enlightening, intelligent, thoughtful, deep poster to ever grace this board, we are truly blessed by him.

I recommended making him a mod but Master is a little worried that Sir Paul Kevins minions would take over

PK was referring to Anothy, Anthony's little known twin brother with better stamina.

As for exercises that increase stamina, there are many: jump rope, running, sparring, bag work, cardio equipment (bikes, rowers...etc.). I've found that certain natural/physiological/genetic factors effect stamina levels. Some people have larger lungs, higher VO2 Max, more efficient hearts...etc. When these individuals also have high pain tolerance, mental toughness, and discipline, they end up as the best conditioned in their sport. No single exercise is responsible for great stamina though.

I think a couple of factors that are often overlooked and misunderstood in boxing are:

1. Boxing stamina is sport specific and "different" than other types of stamina. An example is when Sweet Pea Whitaker fought Gary Jacobs. Jacobs was ripped and in phenomenal shape, known for regularly competing in triathlons/races and running sub 5 minute miles. The guy obviously had great stamina, but in the ring vs the much smaller Whitaker, he couldn't match Pernell's pace or tempo and became exhausted by the end.

2. All the training and natural gifts in the world won't matter if you let your mind/stress/anxiety get the better of you. From my experience, just the pressure of performing in front of a large audience can put pressure on you, cause anxiety, and rob you of your stamina. Staying relaxed is a challenge, and you have to remain calm to have good stamina. Look at JCC as an example, he never got worked up or hyped, he went out like it was just another day and applied steady pressure throughout the fight. It's why/how James Toney could be fat and win a twelve round fight. He was relaxed in the ring and this allowed him to conserve energy and fight at a controlled pace.
