Of course cardio is important. Duh, that is obvious, and the one with the title is the champ, thats pretty obvious too. But I think BJ Penn is a better fighter. I think if he had better cardio he would have won. You can condition for better cardio, not better instincts. Penn has better instincts. But facts are facts and Penn gassed, badly. Hughes gets way too much credit though. He fights fighters that are not too great, or in good condition. I mean, GSP had him until he made a stupid mistake. Penn had him until he gassed. Royce...is the man and would have beaten Hughes in his fighting prime. Who else? Is there anyone worth naming? I guess Hughes is a good fighter but I dont think hes a better fighter than a lot of guys. He has conditioning and does nothing but train so that mentality puts him on top. It is not so far away that hughes gets a few back to back losses. GSP forever!!!
