Mike Tyson always ALWAYS fought hard until he was beaten 'Even when by his standards he was in under-par condition'.
Fatigue never beat Mike Tyson, his opponents beat him.
It is a complete myth that Mike Tyson had bad stamina 'His fights vs Razor Ruddock II, I think proved this'.
Could Mike Tyson fight at a intense pace? Yes 'For as long as he is in the fight, he is coming at you'.
Fighters with bad stamina, are extremely reluctant to fight at a pace 'You can see this trait with a fighter like Alvarez, especially these days'.
I honestly think, a fighter will really struggle to become a all-time great fighter with bad stamina.
Canelo Alvarez has under-par stamina, but is it drastically bad? I don't quite think so.
Alvarez's stamina is satisfactory. The only issue with that is, at elite level 'Most fighters have world level stamina'.
Note: So my honest answer to the thread question is? I don't think there are ANY all time great fighters with drastically bad stamina. Under-par stamina yes, but bad stamina? No.
Bad stamina is when that specific attribute IS the one reason why they lose fights. A fighter like David Price has lost fights because of his stamina, and once upon a time 'Wladimir Kiltschko did'.
Interesting the way Wladimir Kiltschko as he progressed in his career, improved his stamina 'After his lost to Lamon Brewster, I personally don't think that attribute ever lost him a fight'.
Compared to many active Heavyweights today, Wladimir Kiltschko's stamina was solid 'He seemed very aware of how to manage a pace of a fight, and maintain his technique'.
David Price was a fighter who I supported. And I have honestly never seen a fighter in recent years with worst stamina. I think David Price would have the beating of many Heavyweights active today 'If he had the stamina of even Anthony Joshua' etc.
