    Depends really. Let's take Hatton and Wlad for example, Hatton balloons up and then works his ass off in training camp, while Wlad in just always in shape and doesn't have to work as hard in training camp. I think always being in shape is much more impressive, that's why I'll go with Marciano all time.

    Current guys who always come prepared for 12 hard rounds, Tim Bradley, Floyd, Pac, Paulie and the Klits.

    Mayweather, bit biased because ive not seen all the others train properly but he is a beast in the gym and always known for the high intensity he trains at

    Marquez is known for running in the snow at 20,000 feet in the Otomi Mountains in Mexico, and is a gymrat.

    Hagler also trained hard.

    Hopkins is also dedicated to trainig that he stays all day in th Big Bear training camp.

    Julio Cesar Chavez trained hard and long hours too.

    Mike Tyson was good dedicated to his workouts and was in immaculate shape when he was in his early 20's.

    James Toney hands down. You have never seen "work" like when that man hits a Burger King!

    "he bloats up to 180 pounds or something crazy and then trains it off to get down to 140 but i guess thats not a sign of true discipline and dedication" wtf? it takes alot more dedication to bulk up and cut down on a strict timeline, theres no forgiveness come weigh in. ya I think who trains harder is kinda hard to talk about when you've never been in the gym with each of them for a few hours. I liked watchin ron lyle and mosley train, thats all I can say

    Personally, I think it would be Hagler. He'd put the rest to shame.

    What I saw in camp was far from amazing,” Smith would state following the Mayweather-Mosley bout. “It was unreal the things I had seen this guy do throughout the camp. I have never in my 24-years of boxing witnessed anything like this before. I witnessed Mayweather work out for two to three hours straight, and only taking ten second water breaks - with no bell, no minute rest, and no horse play. In the gym Mayweather is all about his business. I honestly can’t remember a single time throughout the entire camp that I even saw him get tired, and that includes during sparring, and regular workouts.”

    Srsly how are we supposed to know? Each and everone of them is ripped and extraordinarily athletic combined with skill. You could have at least included an athletic bum.

    Man you guys are all nuts.

    B. Hop started fighting at a late age. Used to be a alcoholic and used drugs. Now hes what? 45 yrs old and still whipping ass. That itself lets you know what kind of training he goes through and what kind of overall health his body is in. I mean really?
