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.
