        This question is immpossible to answer.

          Yeah plus when they were bare nuckled they had to be extremely careful not to break their hands. They couldnt throw at full power and had to be careful where they placed their shots. So although we dont have footage I am willing to bet fights those days went into two categories, brawls which were over very quickly or the technical by the rules fights which took very long because they had to be protective of their hands. Though the focus was conditioning cause you had to wear your opponent down gradually with less powerful punches.

                  Wladimir Klitschko lost two fights because of poor stamina. And Vitali was huffing and puffing against Lewis. Another legendary comment from you. Shut up.

                    Yeah, I would have to say Hagler. This guy had some crazy conditioning.

                      15 rounds

                      blistering heat

                      fights every few months

                      Heck these old school fighters were tough as ****.

                      Today's fighters may bet the past, but they aint tough mofo's, they need to eat kangaroo meat and get manicures and ****
