Which boxer have you seen to have displayed the most impressive feats of stamina in boxing on a consistent basis?
Is it Rocky Marciano? Evander Holyfield? Any other nominees?
Pacquiao is the first fighter that comes to mind but there's a lot of others.
Margarito, Holyfield, Morales, Calzaghe, Ali, Frazier, Leonard, Sam Soliman :)) Shawn Porter, Golovkin,
The only fight where Nigel Benn showed suspect stamina was up against Michael Watson! (So yes I agree with you there, but Nigel Benn was a fighter that throw every single punch with BAD INTENTION, you don't see many middle-weights fighting at his kind of intensity! Not even Golovkin in my opinion!)...
Yea and no way does ggg fight like that.But a better all around fighter.

Never seen Mayweather get tired once except in the gym
Benn later maybe but young Benn had bad stamina much less good.

I think when it comes to stamina/endurance you need to take into account the fighter's style. The likes of Hopkins and Mayweather pace themselves very good and also have a lot of tricks where they can make their opponents reset and slow down the pace when they like. It's an energy conserving style, it doesn't necessarily mean that they have better conditioning as such.
I think the fighters with the best natural conditioning are fighters who have an energy consuming style but still somehow manage to press at a high pace for the entire 12 rounds. I'd pick guys like Maidana, Margarito, Provodnikov, Froch, Pacquiao, Golovkin and other relentless come forward guys. You need to have great cardio for such style, if you want to box like this and don't have a great natural gas tank you'll get rooted out quickly.
Floyd Mayweather never got tired nor ever showed when he was hurt. Impressive.
yea he was very good at hiding it.when he got nailed by maidana 2nd fight right before bell I think showtime missed it.he was just a smart fighter all around
I can't even say he had poor stamina in that fight either. Odd things happened that fight. Maidana was allowed to repeatedly throw intentional low blows without penalty...so I can't really say Floyd had bad stamina that night. Dealt with unorthodox obstacles
yea good points I think it might have been combo of two.he looked better stamina wise and other ways
