Are some boxers able to be a heavyweight and have the stamina and quickness of a lightweight, heck even a feather weight yet be able to hold the stamina as good as a titled featherweight? And also what heavyweight boxer do you think (if any) best fit that category as having both those athleticisms and also being a heavyweight boxer?

That is, name a boxer in your opionion who you think was as fast as a titled featherweight but had the tremendous kinetic impact with his punches.

I think it's physcially impossible for a heavyweight to be as quick and agile as a lightweight. The smaller you are, the more coordinated you are.
I think Muhammad Ali might've been the closest.

It would be impossible to have Lightweight attributes and be in the Heavyweight division.
The heavyweight boxers who have come the closest to Lightweight in terms of speed would be Muhammad Ali, Roy Jones Jr, Chris Byrd and Gene Tunney. Welterweight legend Luis Rodriguez wasn't a heavyweight, but apparently beat a few.

As far as speed and agility I can't see any heavyweight comparing with a featherweight. But for stamina Ike Ibeabuchi used to come close.

Cassius Clay/Muhammed Ali in his prime.

Roy Jones Jr. "Pound-for-Pound". (besides he's my Home Boy! Pensacola Florida)
