Who are the HARDEST workers in the sport? Who trains the hardest?

If we are talking about praparing for a fight then : PACMAN no question he even do light training on sundays But if we're talking about hardwork all throughout and in between fights then : Bernard Hopkins

Miranda is the future of the middleweight division. Wait till he seasons a little and becomes more sophisticated with experience.

Every second fighter trains like that? Miranda and schooling in the same sentence? Not true. Most boxers take off in between fights and don't start training serious until 6-8 weeks before the fight, Taylor is a perfect example. Yea, and Miranda and schooling go very well together. Watch him fight Sam Reese a few fights back, and than watch him fight Eastman/Abraham/Gibbs. Each fight he improves a great deal.

Who trains the hardest? I'm going with -Ricky Hatton -Floyd Mayweather Jr. -Bernard Hopkins its about who trains the smartest not the hardest

Kostoay Tzuyu as far as I know, nobody can say for sure though... LOL........

Kostoay Tzuyu as far as I know, nobody can say for sure though... Butcher his name even worse next time. Wladimir Klitchko trains consistently. For the Brock fight, Wlad came into camp at the same weight he was at fightnight. Manny says he does roadwork almost everyday in between fights.

This is a tough question,all the top level guys must work hard in the gym but some of the superstars of boxing that have been mentioned only fight twice a year.I would have thought it would be fighters that are more active.

It seems like Wlad trains a lot.. You just don't hear much about it yeah, he must train constantly in one form or another he has weighed in from 241-244 for every fight for the last 5 years or so.... id say remarkable especially since he doesent have a weight limit and could probably carry 10-15 more pounds quite easily

Unlike many boxers, Miranda trains in between fights. He has been taking 3-4 week break after his last few fights and than goes back for 'schooling'. He usually starts an intense camp 12 weeks+ before all fights. Every second fighter trains like that? Miranda and schooling in the same sentence?

Mayweather, Hatton, Pacquaio, Hopkins, Tszyu I don't know for sure but I bet Edison Miranda has a hard training program. Unlike many boxers, Miranda trains in between fights.

Who the F-k knows? It's just our hypothesis

Pacquaio is truly a demon in training. His focus and dedication to fitness is uncommon, even among boxers who are hard working, intense athletes.

Tzsyu, Hatton, Mayweather and IMO i think Morales was a pretty hard trainer

If it was training hard in camp then I think Hatton could go on the list but if its all year round then I just dont think he qualifies. Hatton is similar to Duran in that sense. I believe B-Hop and PBF have tremendous year round training. Cotto also keeps a good level of training all year round which enabled him to stay much nearer 140lbs than was natural for him. Cotto also killed himself for a couple of years to stay at jrWW. Look at the pictures of guys like PBF, Hopkins and Cotto and you will never see there faces fat or bloated looking between fights (although Cotto's does look more filled out it doesn't look fat just not as gaunt as we see for fights). I would also add Pac because that guy has never looked out of 100% shape even in all the hundreds of between fight pictures we see of him.

i can't consider hatton as one of the hardest workers even though he trains hard once in camp because he ballons up in weight in between fights....a guy like hopkins comes to mind he constantly training i belive it is harder to wake up every day and do road work and train than to do it for 2-3 months and then take 3-4 months off ... I was going to say the same thing, B-Hop & Mayweather would be at the top of the list, ever since retiring Hopkins has maintained his body in great shape & Mayweather claims to be hitting the gym 365 day a year, & by looking at him I wouldn't deny it.

Hasim Rahman is a huge gym rat, you cant keep the fucker out, in terms of hardwork he is Second to Nunn.

a prime tyson - end of thread

Hatton and Mayweather are both incredible trainers.

Floyd Mayweather

Mayweather, Hatton, Pacquaio, Hopkins, Tszyu I don't know for sure but I bet Edison Miranda has a hard training program.
