I have great cardio. Ask you mom.
That was the best you got?

He gassed hard in JDS II and III. It's just that JDS gassed even more than him.

I don't refute it, but it's against slow HWs. All HWs are much slower in comparison to the other weight classes. Cain may not be able to keep up with LHWs or MWs in terms of speed.
getting tired =/= gassing. Gassing is when you're exhausted and become more or less useless. Cain was tired, JDS was gassed
Cain gets tired in some fights, but he hasn't gassed yet. He pushes himself and keeps a pretty good pace even though he is tired.

Um, no. While he slowed down a little in the championship rounds, Cain did NOT gas. With respect to the word gas, you keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means...
People trying to discredit Cain's cardio are hilarious. The guy is a machine, period. Let's look at the facts:
Strikes landed per minute:
RANK FIGHTER RECORD
1 Cain Velasquez 6.21
2 John Lineker 6.05
3 Fabio Maldonado 5.92
4 Max Holloway 5.86
5 Court McGee 5.62
6 T.J. Dillashaw 5.56
7 Alistair Overeem 5.45
8 Evan Dunham 5.42
9 Al Iaquinta 4.93
10 Luke Barnatt 4.86
So that's nearly 31 strikes LANDED per round...and he's a HW. The only other HW there is Reem and it's skewed because he get's KO'd after he gasses in the first.
Not to mention the fact that he is ALWAYS moving forward, ALWAYS controlling the clinch and octagon. His cardio should be unquestioned along with his grit and heart.

I think people overrate his cardio it is good but it is only good for heavyweight standards.
Because he's got good cardio.
Nailed it.
