    Almost every boxer I know got lazy once they reached the top and started hanging out with the wrong crowd or party and spend all the money they made.
    (prime example being Mike Tyson)

    Can't really blame them but has there been a boxer who has staid dedicated to the sport even after being successful? Only person I can think of is Wladimir Klitschko

    A lot of fighters. Hopkins and Hagler come to mind right away.

    Floyd, Jr, B.Hop, Wladimir

    These man are the most dedicated men in boxing.

    Floyd's dedication is insane.

    The man goes in a hot tub, gets a massage to relax the body.

    That's what you have to do.

    Like BHop said, many youngsters out there go party after winning a fight, they go get drunk off their asses instead of taking care of their body.

    BHop goes in a hot tub in his suite after a fight, relaxes his muscles/body.

    Floyd gets a therapeutic massage from a company he hires.

    That's dedication.

    Vasiliy Lomachenko is the most dedicated boxer of all time. You can't say any man is more dedicated to boxing than a 396-1 amateur who is a title holder in his 3rd pro fight.
