Who are your top ten fighters in terms of stamina and endurance in boxing history?

Henry Armstrong- High pressure, non stop fighter. Never stopped throwing leather.



Harry Greb-Known as the 'human windmill' due to his constant flurries of punches and the always fast pace throught his bouts.Ernest Hemingway praised Grebs abilitys and stamina.



Willie Pep-Was always in motion, constantally moving and dancing from first bell to the last.



'Battling' Nelson- 'Bat' won many of his fights due to his remarkable stamina. This guy endured great punishment and just kept coming back for more.



Jim Jeffries-Very hard manual labor was the order of the day for Jeffries. In his prime Jim always stayed in peak condition (running, sparring, pulleys etc.) Described by many other boxers, writers and friends as having unlimited stamina.



Gene Tunney- Very underrated boxer ( a young Cassisus Clay borrowed many of Tunneys moves) Tunney was like a general going to war, always extremely well prepared and trained, Always moving, shifting, bobbing and dancing on his toes throught all the rounds.



Rocky Marciano- Could take alot of punishment, to get in close,and a heart that never said quit. Known for his hard workouts and stamina. Hit as hard in the last round as he did in the first.



Tom Sharkey-Powerfull and extremely durable. Fought Jim Jeffries once for 20 rounds and again for 25 rounds. Jim said of Sharkey how he kept kept knocking him down, yet the guy kept getting back up and coming back strong, even with three broken ribs.



Johnny Dundee- Always game, always moving fast and possessed great stamina.



Carmen Basilio- Watching his fights, the man did'nt seem to tire, throwing the same quick, crisp and sharp punches in later rounds as he did when fresh as in the first.

Reply:I have looked at everybodys post up to this point and I see one very glaring hole, where is Floyd Mayweather Jr. I don't ever remember seeing him take a round off or fade during a fight, you may not like him but he has the best stamina in the sport
Reply:i think mickey ward,arturo gatti and ray olivera should be in this bunch.they throw tons of punches every time they fight.
Reply:Harry Greb over everyone else. Just about every newspaper article of the era constantly remarked about his incredible stamina. He was throwing just as hard(if not harder) in the final round of a bout than the first.
