Gotta say Hagler is the first name that comes to mind here. He'd call it going to jail when he trained.
EVERY legend? my physique looks better than a lot of pro boxers (no homo), but I wouldn't say I trained harder than them. WTF type of logic is that. And Pac doesn't work harder than Floyd, or we wouldn't always keep hearing about his "bad" camps or how he's not taking his training seriously and stuff
I'll give a good shout out to Tyson though [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnwLEbFoBFs&feature=channel_video_title[/ame]
Manny Steward as been quoted many times saying that all the greats have the one thing they had in common was work ethic, you could not get them out of the gym, they trained hard, in some cases even over trained......Top level Elite Boxers from any era, work hard, titles, bouts, fights are won in the gym before. Training and conditioning physically/mentally have to be there. Floyd is a narcissist
FLoyd doesnt drink, doesnt smoke, and maintains a constant weight year round and has no problem making the welterweight limit. He is the hardest worker in the sport.
prime holyfield.... sparring 12 rounds a day at some point , 4 different sparring partners 3 rounds each ..so always a fresh guy in there at some point as he declined in energy and had to catch second winds
