    Um, no they aren't.

    Mayweather is AFAIK the only boxer that does 3-a-days and he is well ahead of the curve.

    If you look into most pros regime they are all doing 2/3 sessions a day , Gallaghers lads swimming then gym/sparring and trackwork at night

    Most seem to do early morning runs/hillsprints Boxing/sparring mid daysh and strength work or track work in evenings

    My next door neighbour was the commonwealth super bantam champ when i was growing up in the 90s and he was always 3 sessions a day back then

    Ah three different types of workout, that's another matter then.

    I thought you meant three full-on training sessions in the boxing gym at various points in a 24 hour period. That right there is nutty and only Mayweather that I know of does it/can do it.

    I read Froch yesterday saying he walks around at 13 and a half stone. I'm sure Groves walks around at 14 stone, maybe slightly more.

    I'm guessing between 1-2 stone above your weight is ok, anymore then it's a Hatton job .........

    There isn't ANY need for a fighter to do 3 lots of Boxing sessions A DAY. None at all.

    Gallagher has it right, IMO. Although I'd swap and change some track/swimming sessions for S&C etc.
