    I heard Tim Bradley say he would run 8-12 miles a day.

    What other boxers commonly ran 10 miles or in that neighborhood.

    I read that Marciano used to run 9-10, and upped that nearer the fight.

    Also expecting a comedian to come and say Mayweather...

    Dempsey, Fitz, and all the old timers. Running was like a religion for them.

    The literal answer to this question is probably Peter Maher.

    He was a standout, in an era where extreme roadwork was the norm.

    A 20 mile training run was just part of his routine.

    Espana claimed to run 25 miles on his "off day"... I do remember that quote.
