Boxers weighing 210+ pounds with great conditioning

[TarkanX]

It is known that heavyweights aren't the best when it comes to endurance, especially the heavier ones, and while I know guys like Marciano, Frazier, Dempsey had great conditioning, they were at or below 205. The only fighters that I can think of in their prime that was above 210 with great conditioning were Ali and Holmes, maybe Norton, too. Are there any others who don't show obvious signs of fatigue at this specific weight?

Holyfield, maybe Ike Ibeabuchi who had a very high punch output.

Jeffries had great conditioning, maybe the best of anyone.

Holyfield, maybe Ike Ibeabuchi who had a very high punch output.

Holyfield's stamina was not nearly as good when he was 215-220 as it was when he weighed 205-210.

Vitali keeps up a high output but in the fights he was actually pressed at all (Lewis, Sanders) he was wheezing prett hard by the middle rounds . .

Max Baer had good conditioning, though maybe saying great conditioning would be a stretch.

We are probably missing a few guys. However, it does seem to show that at a certain point extra weight is not an advantage, and at a further point it becomes a disadvantage.

Even some of the guys mentioned (Ali, Holmes, and Holyfield) were at their best right around 210.

I think Tyson deserves a mention here. I know some will jump immediately and say that in the latter rounds he clinched often and looked nowhere as explosive as in most highlights, but taking into account his style, which consumed a lot of energy I'd say he had incredible conditioning anyway.

Holyfield, maybe Ike Ibeabuchi who had a very high punch output.

Holyfield's stamina was not nearly as good when he was 215-220 as it was when he weighed 205-210.

Looking back at his Boxrec record you have a point. I didn't realise how light he actually was for Douglas, Cooper, Foreman, Holmes and Bowe I.

I would have to say this is the best instance. 220lbs & a motor which just would not quit
