And about Mac being more durable. No.

Mac cannot take many hits from those guys before he's down for the count. Ippo can take blow after blow even while losing oxygen. And when Mac is hurt, he's hurt. But when Ippo's hurting, he'll somehow still dodge and form a plan. Ippo has gone 8 rounds before and he wears down boxers who can go 10. I really doubt Mac could wear him down seeing he only has ever done 3 rounds. Little Mac also gets tired after getting too many hits blocked, which will definitely happen with Ippo's fighting style.

As for Mac keeping up with Hondo, Ippo can create afterimages with his Dempsey Roll and in general. He faces boxers that do the same and he also dodged an absolute FLURRY of punches one time. 27 punches to be exact. It was like multiple fists at once. And it was all before the referee could react. Lowballing to 3 seconds, that's still 9 punches per second.
