“The reason why Cain stands out as the best is because he has superhuman endurance. And his ability to put a pace on guys, you would see these guys just wilt under the pressure. I think with Cain, this is where it gets really interesting. What did him in is probably what also brought him to the top, is his mental toughness.”
