    The greatest stamina ever?? Marciano gets my vote.

    What fighter had the greatest stamina ever? It has constantly amazed me how fighters can go round after round when my experiences have left me nearly dead after 5 or 6. I think Marciano may have had the best ever...he never stopped. In a more modern view, I'm not sure.

    Marciano is a great pick. Henry Armstrong deserves a mention. The man threw punches non-stop for 15 rounds, if it ever went that long.

      the second best was probably JJ Jeffries " the boilermaker " , he lost 1 dec as a pro ( to Jack Johnson when Mr. Jeff was past his prime )

        Man, that's a good choice too. He was a machine. How in the hell do those guys get into that kind of shape? People who can run 5 miles often could not last more than a few rounds.

            I think Wlad Klitschko has the best stamina among boxers that are taller than 2 meters.

              The old school fighters definitely had it, and though you could say Marciano had the best stamina, frankly I'd be hard pressed to name any of the pre-60's champs who had poor stamina. They were all machines, who could go 15 rounds without slowing down, taking off a round, or getting weak in the legs. Don't ask me how they did it... ...training I guess.

                Aaron Pryor!!! that guy never stopped throwing punches. he would be all over his opponent all fight long. all of his ko's were from wearing out the other guy. he was truely a machine, he never stopped!!! the man had wells of stamina, and the most energy i've ever seen from a fighter.....if you don't beleive me watch like three of his fights. one from the beginning of his career, one in the middle, and one from the end. you'll see that his style never changed, it was an all out assault!!! good stuff too!!
