Fat is the largest energy reserve.
And they have no chest muscles.
The bigger chested boxers tire out faster regardless of weight class but more prevalent at heavyweight

Not necessarily, genetics and nutrition play a large part as well. Ideally yes but it's more complex than calories in and out after a certain point.
There are also many ways to train even within boxing schools and disciplines. Some guys swear by jump roping, others never do it. I'm a big believer in running, rope, light lifting, calisthenics, and HIIT as complimentary to pad work, bag work, and sparring.
And then let's remember the HW division is unique in that there is no upper weight limit. A guy like me has to choose between meeting 147 or 155 for example. Fighters my size tend to be leaner because we are constantly cutting weight. A HW can just bulk and then determine how much mass to put on before speed and stamina become a problem.

Simple, PED’s!
Only one’s who seems like it’s all attributed to actual hard work and no pills or needles or wild boars is Arreola, Ruiz, and Kownacki!
The rest are a bunch of cheats who should be banned for years But it’s boxing!
