Best stamina in Boxing..

[Memphis]

Good post. People are often accused of being unfit, lacking stamina, when in actual fact it's the mental toll that burns fighters up, Thompson Price 2 for example. Price was physically fit, of course he was, he would have put his work in in the gym. He was mentally burned up after a couple of rounds and treading water until the inevitable end.

Some people (Tony is a great example) are more comfortable than others when the leather is flying

Eubank Jnr is developing a great engine.

Bruno would get mentally exhausted even though he was extremely fit although being so musclebound would not help.

Eubank Junior has good stamina as illustrated when he fought a guy in the last round and threw a barrage of unanswered shots like a machine. Oddly enough this was before his loss to BJS where he was too slow for the first 6 rounds.

That was a huge tactical error on the Eubanks part. I have always been a fan of BJS and he was always going to be fast and accurate from the off. He has/had some great skills and for Eubank to nullify that he would have to be at the races from round one. I think arrogance meant they thought they would stop him late on. He has talent but I don't think Jr is ever going to be the world beater his Dad thinks he is. Small errors will cost you big and somebody with more pop than BJS will force the ref to step in or stop the guy if he does not take opponents more seriously.

Just realized I didn't have the two poster boys for stamina, Aaron Pryor and Henry Armstrong on my list! Could also add prime Duran and Leonard as well.

Armstrong had a low heart rate which explained the perpetual motion.

One point I disagree with you is Toney or Floyd as having good stamina. They pace the fight well and are relaxed which means they conserve their energy but would not call that stamina.

Don't have Toney on my list, just used him as an example of how staying relaxed can conserve your energy. I think prime Floyd was in great shape. Even in his tough fights, like the first Castillo fight, he wasn't winded or even breathing heavy at the end. Young Floyd was hungry for recognition and greatness and he pushed the pace and was extremely active (Chico, Sharmba, NDou...etc.). Much like Hopkins, as he became older he slowed the pace down and focused mainly on efficiency/defense/conserving energy.

Troy Dorsey is a fantastic call my friend.

Thank you. He was an unsung hero of boxing.Once threw 180 punches in a round I believe and he once said, "It's hard to counter a 3 minute combination".
