Has there ever been a boxer who has been dedicated his entire career?

How about the least dedicated....Ricky Hatton, Duran....which make you wondered how goods was Duran when with minimal dedication became an ATG!...

 

Hagler

 

Larry Holmes
Gene tuney
Max Schmeling

 

Solis, Perez, Haye

 

Jmm

 

Lennox Lewis

 

Lol.

Not after Tyson he wasn't. :yep

Not before Rahman 1, he even claimed that he didn't take training seriously and was complacent.

 

Hopkins and Calzaghe were very dedicated. both of them had to be to make weight in respective divisions.

 

James Toney

 

Hopkins ,of course , Hagler. And a good friend of mine in Texas Paulie Ayala. I knew Paulie throughout all his pro career. He was dedicated . He was WBA bantamweight champ & Jr featherweight champ. In all the time he was fighting he never weighed more than 128 pounds. After a fight he'd take a week off & he was back in gym

 

Lennox tended to train to how good his opposition was. He made 2 mistakes McCall & Rahman he under estimated both and paid for it.
Different story in the rematches tho lol Lennox could and should have gone throughout his career unbeaten

 

excuses. he was on hbo the week before vitali, bragging what great shape he was in. pulled his shirt off. weighed two more pounds than against rahman. his weight gain was due to roids. guy was never out of shape.

 

I'm assuming that you're talking about well known guys who have had lengthy careers...

K bros, Floyd, Hopkins, Marquez...

There are also scores of other fighters who were extremely disciplined and committed their entire careers, but simply weren't as successful as the bigger names.

 

In Gene Tunney's book he said he was only able to beat Greb after Greb had begun to decline and was partying too much.

 

Don't doubt that, Lennox is great

He definitely should have beaten those two and definitely should have beaten Vitali worse than he did.
