    Depends on how many rnds we're going because great skills with no stamina is useless as the fight goes on

      Skills doesn't really matter if you turn into a sitting duck after 6 rounds

        Well if you have bad stamina with excellent skills, you better have a lot of power so you can end the fight early.

        Having skills doesn't mean **** if you can't last 6 rounds and you'll end up getting stopped by a less talented fighter.

          Froch carved a very good niche out with the latter - including beating George Groves in front of ... oh, you heard about it already?

          I'm trying to think of someone who's succeeded at the top level with the former... erm... Kovalev maybe? If you got the bad stamina you really need show stopping power as well as skills or you're fucked.

            in a boxing match, a CV sport, you need good stamina to get anywhere near the top.

              Some fighters believe it or not has gotten far with good skills/bad stamina.

              Although I couldn't stand DLH I have to admit the stockings wearing punk had poor stamina but good skill.

              I know some may disagree but Rid**** Bowe also comes to mind although he wasn't AS skilled as his heavyweight counter parts.

                  Look at Jermaine Taylor for example, good skills but terrible stamina which basically end his career at top level.

                    Watch Wilder-Ortiz for an example of both.
