    Currently who's the best fighter in the later rounds?

    Who do you think is the best in the later rounds? I think I'll take Hopkins he's done it time and time again. Think about it his style is built around it. He's a slow starter who really turns it up in the late rounds.

    Against Trinidad outboxed him the whole fight. Then in the last round turned it up a bit and KOed him.

    Not really late but started off slow against Oscar. Around the sixth or seventh can't remember he imposes his size and scores a beautiful body shot for the win.

    Against Taylor he started very slow in both and turned it up in the last four rounds. So much in both fights he had Taylor almost out on his feet.

    Who's the best closer in your eyes?

      But Hatton hasn't finished strong in late rounds for a couple of years.

      But yeah, it's amazing how Hatton could punch as hard, fast and often in the last rounds as he could in the first rounds (and he would come out setting an ultra-high pace).

      Hatton was probably the fittest boxer in the world.

        I'd probably pick Hopkins aswell. I also think PBF fought well in the second half of the Judah fight.

            Was.

            I think Hatton is one of the worst ive seen in the later rounds recently

              Thats because of the fighter that Zab is.......he only fights for the 1st half of the fight(I wonder if he even does road work)

                I agree with that. As a Hopkins supporter he's faithful.

                I know I can count him.

                In Taylor I it was reinforcement to his people when he hurt JT and almost got the KO.. That was big.

                Bernard is a marathoner.

                It's an underrated game.

                  JLC and I don't think anyone really compares either.

                    Let me specify; Bernard knows how to sprint to the finish.

                    He conserves like a marathoner.

                    Strategy. Strategy doesn't always work - but this is a good one.

                    It's a PRO one.
