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.
