    Zab (I'm assuming you mean Zab LOL) would certainly be up there. Funny thing is a lot of the smarter fighters who win fights but actually use their ring IQ to figure guys out over rounds would slide against aggressive swarmers or guys who fight on hair trigger reflex.

    In a way, the ams or the WSB give a clue as to how fights would look - come forward aggression being favoured over tactical defense - it's hard to look dominant over four rounds when your opponent is pushing the action.

    That said, the question becomes irrelevent when applied over the timescale of the sport - how many brilliant fast starters have fallen by the wayside, unremembered, over the many decades of the boxing, cos they couldn't go the distance?

      Where did this myth come from? He got KTFO by Kostya in 2 rounds
      Lost every round vs Khan and Paulie
      He wasn't ahead against Cotto after 4 from what I remember, not sure he was against Boldomir either

        BINGO! Stamina, speed, power, quickness, explosiveness. He'd be damn near unbeatable

                Butterbean would still get wrecked against decent fighters, or just miss them completely.
