Some fighters just seem to sap the engergy out of their opponents, even if their opponent is in great shape. But to do this, that fighter needs to be great shape to be able to keep that kind of workrate. Fighters that come to my mind right off of the bat are Marvin Hagler, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier, Roberto Duran, Willie Pep (he just makes you miss so much), and Dwight Braxton (Muhammad Qawi).

I'm working a piece up on Salvador Sanchez. What do people think about him in terms of a guy who drains opponents?

Sandy Saddler was also a very draining fighter just by using his great left hook to the body and rough house tactics.

Muhammad Ali too. It was just so hard to catch the guy. It takes more energy out of you when you miss, too. Even the Ali that was slow was draining using his rope a dope style. He just made his opponents punch themselves out.

Frazier never got tired of hitting him.
