What fighters active at the moment give off the impression that they work there asses off in training? On the other side, who are some fighters that you believe coast during training, or don't train very hard?

IMO:

Fighters that work hard IMO would be:

Floyd Mayweather- the guy ALWAYS comes in to fights in-shape, even if it's against not top class competition.
Bernard Hopkins- I was reading in the paper that the He ALWAYS eats right, and he wakes up early to run, and goes to bed at 8:00PM every single night. Now that's commitment.
Manny Pacquio- This guy always has a ripped body, and he's still learning at 29 (I believe). He has so much stamina so its obvious he does his roadwork.
Zahir Raheem- By the way he talked at the Morales fight, it seems that this guy is so committed in the gym, and it's no wonder he just beat a HOFer!!

Fighters that don't work hard would be:
Antonio Tarver- To me, this guy gives off an impression of partying, and barely training for fights or training hard for the last 1-2 weeks.
Arturo Gatti- As much as HBO hypes him up, I think he's a LAZY **** in the gym. He's never really learned much from Buddy Mcgirt apart from the fact that he was a boxer puncher before he started slugging.
James Toney- I think this guy is the LAZIEST slob on the planet. He relies on his natural talent too often, and he doesn't eat right at all as you can tell from the Ruiz fight.

Your thoughts?

i think a lot of guys exagerate their traning schedule . they say they train 3 times a day , but some are notorious to skip roadwork (oscar de la hoya) and some guys spend time in nightclub with the nose in white snow during training (erik morales is famous for that)

Gatti does train hard. He used to be a party guy, but over the last couple years he focused more and stopped drinking when fights were near, etc. etc.

Tarver supposedly quit smoking crack. I highly doubt it. Very few individuals have the ability to give up smoking that **** permanently. I would say 1 out of 100 can give it up.

No ****. The second most addictive drug IMO. Right after Tina but even more addictive than Heroin.
