Yeah, I even remember one of the guys on my high school wrestling team boxed during the summer. After his first few wrestling sessions, he said "Man, this shits harder than boxin'!"

Football players, coming in at the end of their season in their best shape, would routinely puke mid practice until they had a week in or so..

In my experience, wrestlers have great endurance.
