    I would expect Paul Williams or Antonio Margarito to train like that, moreso than Floyd and Hopkins, but... I guess not!
    Foot movement takes a lot of energy too remember that.

    They both also expand a lot of mental energy I'm sure. Both look extremely focused in the ring.

      Williams looked like he hadnt trained at all against Quintana ...totally outclassed and outworked

      Agreed ,,, the footwork drains the legs and anyone who has boxed will tell you it DOES take energy to stay focussed ..

            What was that stuff on Friday night fights about the Mosley fight being postponed because Judah had to have 50 stitches in his forearm? Goes along with what you're saying.

              A large lung capacity means you will have great stamina. Yes, Floyd has great stamina, but there are boxers out there who have better stamina than him. The reason Floyd is in the position where he has the oppurtunity to retire undefeated is because he is naturally gifted at boxing, more so than almost anyone alive today.

                26" arm length, the same as Wladimir Klitschko's, helps just a bit as well.

                  Floyd is the best WW noone can beat him, they can try to fight him, but until they defeat him mentally there's no go.. He wants he biggest fight with the biggest challenge after he gets that great payday... so unless.. Cotto or Marg offer 10.mil + or legitimate clams to #1 spots of belts floyd cant afford to lose then **** off...... MoneyIsNotCancer

                    Cotto or Mrgarito will get theres and maybe Paul Williams if he can beat Quintana. But WARNING after he beats them they'll be 2 new cats in town everyone gonna keep mentioning.

                      How silly of people expecting the best boxer in the world, in his prime, to fight the best. Dumb a$$ boxing fans.
