    Ive voted Bradley because he just exudes energy the whole fight, his work rate is great and when he's been hurt he's came back stronger, that takes heart but also u need to be well conditioned, thats one of the main reasons JMM is on the list.

    Floyd might well be the fittest tho, he seems like he could do another 10 rounds after most fights, but he dosnt have the high work rate and he is never in a dog fight (due to talent) to PROVE that he has that extra stamina than these guys.

    Pac has incredible fitness but i dont think its quite the same at these higher weights, he does tire a touch late but to his credit the lil ****er keeps swinging and the difference between Pac and the abouve two fighters ive mentioned is Manny is letting bombs go which tires u more

      Considering Hopkins age, I think he is one the tough and fittest of the boxers today.

        Cmon yall Mayweather hasnt gotten tired since the late 90's man.

          Hopkins performing the way he does at his advanced years is nothing short of incredible but we cant take age into consideration

            The only reason i didnt vote Floyd is because i dont KNOW he can fight a give and take battle at high pace throwing lots of punches, Thats not a flaw its a credit to his talent but with some of the other less skilled fighters on the list we KNOW they can, its proven u know

              Paul Williams and it isn't even close. I've seen pacman take several deep breaths between and even during rounds, we all have. But he works through being tired. Name another fighter with the workrate of Paul Williams who's never looked zapped while doing it? Outside of a prime margi, i don't think we can.

              Vote goes to Paul Williams easily. When mayweather throws 1k punches every fight without slowing down, then we'll argue. But considering how active he is, its definitely Paul Williams.

              Also keep in mind he does this all while playing with his weight.. the key thing that usually ruins a fighters cardio.

                  Yup! Just did. I think people have forgotten about Paul, actually. About his stamina, at least. It is what made him a name - not his size.. but his workrate. I'm actually suprised to see Bradley with as many votes as he has.. I feel like people are looking at the physique and not actual results in the ring. Bradley always shows sure signs of fatigue during a fight. It's usually at the point where, winning or losing he will begin to scale the ropes and use his legs more, showing off the boxing ability that requires less output. But like pacman, he has the heart to fight through it. I always tell people Bradley is this generations Meldrick Taylor, and I'll stick to it. I think his heart will be his downfall ultimately. He has all the skill in the world, like Meldrick.. but he is also scrappy as hell and I think a bit too willing to get into unnecessary exchanges. Different topic though :P

                  It'll be a while before we get anything Prime evander though! haha. The output was decent, but he'd never, ever stop bouncing through the entire duration of a fight.. even whilst punching. 15 hard ones with Qawi and looked like he could go another 15... wish we'd see that today!

                    Bradley is scrappy at times and a bit too keen for a tear up when his power dont match his balls but i think i like that about him!

                    ***** i love the Qawi fight, a young Holyfield really was an force and super fit. Out of todays fighters who do u think would enjoy having the 15 round distance in play? I think it would suit a guy like Floyd just fine because his fitness is great but he controls the pace of a fight well and is very economical

                      If you think about it, you would see that Paul Williams has the best stamina in boxing. Anytime you watch his fight, you'll see him throwing punches regardless what round it is,

                      HE'S THE ONLY FIGHTER WHO I'VE NOTICED THAT NEVER TAKES ROUNDS OFF

                      Pac takes rounds off
                      Mayweather is only concerned about Quality, not Quantity
                      Bradley, are you kidding me
