    Unrivaled? I know Tyson trained like an animal, as did Marciano, but Floyd really is a machine.

    Can you think of 3-5 people who have put in the work that Floyd has/that matched him for work ethic?

    RJJ never did roadwork.

    He was rather lazy which is why he and his dad parted ways.

    Other fighters will have camps as tough as Mayweather. I'm not sure if any other fighter is compelled to work that hard as is the case with Floyd.

    I bet Frazier must've trained like a motherf*cker too.

    I don't think his training is what sets him apart, it is more his healthy lifestyle both, when in camp and out of camp.

    I am willing to say most fighters train just as hard, but mess up when they don't have anything lined up.

    I know for a fact mostly all champions train just as hard. But most forget about the gym when there is nothing in the immediate future. Big mistake.

    There are a lot of fighters who train hard, not just Floyd. Hatton was said to work extremely hard in training. Hagler too

    There was one documentary where they said Fraizer ran so much that when they totaled the miles it was like several trips around the world..Not sure which documentary it was ..
