Training regimes from around 1900 inside

I did get those articles from Janitor about training regimes of boxers from around 1900.

Any training regimes and diets from the past would be welcome.

I'm specially looking for the workouts of Rocky Marciano, Joe Louis, and Joe Frazier.

 

Ok, that would be great.

 

Most todays top pros run somewhere around 5 miles a day. Most of them do spend more time in the gym than fighters from the old days tough. And I think todays fighters do a wider variety of exercises.

Also this is what Bob Fitzsimmons had to say about his running:

So it looks like fighters of the old days did mix up their running with walking. But even then they where out on foot for a long time. It's hard to tell tough because non of the other fighters seem to talk about mixing walking up with running.
