who trained the hardest

The most consistently, I'd say Marciano and Frazier are great calls. Also Basilio and Robinson.

 

Erik Morales used to train on a mountain that made big bear look like my doorstep

 

Dundee was tellin' the truth, PP. I was there to confirm it. Ali, then Cassius Clay, spent most of his time at the 5th St. Gym pulling practical jokes with partner-in-crime, Willie Pastrano.

 

Holyfield

Was going to say Holyfield myself and rocky Marciano too - duva said Marciano was the only man he's seen who trained harder than holy - more recently maywheather (floyd) is probably a good shout too - sure he was named as fittest guy in the world recently ahead of that cyclist Armstrong - jack Dempsey for Willard and before said he often trained too hard and too much at times going he'll for leather continually - leaving him burned out - for Willard he was supposedly 180 which is astonishing

 

Marciano was the archtypical training fanatic.

 

I ran across an interview recently where John L Sullivan discusses his training routines.

Pretty interesting. http://www.bareknuckleboxinghalloffame.com/id2.html

 

Clay was lackadaisical training 'n sparring -- treated it like a joke. The only thing he kept busy was his mouth.

 

AMEN! times two, rc

 

I'll save us all some time

Pachillies: Roberto Duran.

 

When he was in a mind to do so,Ali would train like a demon. Especially early in his career. Latterly,the second Norton and Frazier fights,plus the Rumble In The Jungle.

 

Marciano worked his ass of in camp like no Heavy before or since...he trained himself DOWN to 189 lbs!!!
