    I don't think it's really accurate to say who trains "harder"; I think that all of the special fighters mentioned who compete at an elite level-Mayweather, Mosley, Pacquiao, Marquez- all train hard enough to get the hardest of jobs done right. Training too hard would be overtraining, and training too little would result in conditioning-related faults. No elite fighter should have them. Someone like *Cotto MAY be questioned in terms of training intensity because stamina issues can lead us to question, but none of the aforementioned have that problem, or at least had it at a prime, physically healthy age.

    You either get in shape, or you don't.

    (*Though Steward said that after a close look Cotto's previous regimens actually seemed more like over-training, and that could be a reason. Just sayin'.)

    Mayweather is the hardest worker I've ever seen. He works all day long and never tires. Dude's a beast," stated jr. middleweight contender Deandre "The Bull" Latimore, who is currently in Floyd Mayweather's training camp helping him prepare for the September 17th showdown with Victor Ortiz. After working with Mayweather in camp, Latimore is convinced more than ever that Mayweather is the best in the world.

    None of us know.. I voted Hopkins, Floyd and Vitali.. Vitali and Hopkins because they are able to compete on an elite level at this stage in their career..
    And Floyd because he is known as a gym rat.. He always comes in shape and trains hard to do everything he does perfect..

    How did pacquiao get much more votes than Bernard? Bernard hasn't touched alcohol in over 2 decades while manny is sneaking in drinks behind his coaches backs during training camps.

    Because of 24/7 and Fight Camp 360. We have gotten a better look at the training of Mayweather and Pacquiao, than anyone else. Becaue of this I think you have to chose between Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    Shouldn't have left out Juan Manuel "Runs through the mountains of Mexico, eats raw Quail eggs, throws stones like a Spartan, drinks own ****, and regularly breaks speed-bags" Marquez.


    I think they all train to similar levels of intensity, since they are such dominant forces in the sport. There's no way we can really know who trains harder, but one thing is for sure, they all train hard enough to get the job done.

    It's a toss up between Floyd and Pac but Pac has too many distractions e.g. tv shows, basketball, darts and politics, etc.:-(

    Lets be honest, none of them are lazy.

    Who knows? They all dedicate everything and then some to boxing and training, you simply can't put one above the other imo.
