good shout
Troy Dorsey was another featherfisted feather who just threw and threw. Ivan Robinson was another. Padilla/Olivera hold the record for combined punches thrown, still.

You ever watch the Mike Weaver vs Gerrie Coetzee fight?
Seemed freakish to me.
Weaver looked finished halfway through,from the pounding by Coetzee but looked like a spring chicken in the 13th round .
Weaver must have done some serious cardio exercises up at Lake Tahoe to get that way.

Hee looked like he was fading in the closing rounds of the first Antuofermo fight, though.

I read some place years ago that Sanchez's respiration between rounds returned to normal in less than 50 seconds. Hagler and Marciano defintely up there. Aaron Pryor maybe.

Check out Weaver's "FANTASTIC" conditioning between rounds 8 and 13.
Man ,there sure must have been some "INCREDIBLY" crisp air up at Lake Tahoe were he trained.

Didn't look too clever towards the end of the Berbick or Weaver fights?

Was just testing the link to another forum at another web site about 1980's movies.

Sanchez was born with any amazing heart/lung machine. As others have stated, he could go from maximum output to normal in under a minute. He started every round, including the 15th round, like it was the first. His opponents couldn't keep pace with that.
He was born that way. His training methods were traditional - running, jumping rope, sparring.
