So I'm wondering how much time all time greats and pros have invested into boxing ( hourwise)
Thinking about fighters like Mayweather,Pacqiuao, Tyson or Canelo GGG etc.
What do you think?
How much would you think they have spent in the gym, running and fighting for boxing( in hours)?
Not for mma you have random people dominating
They are only random to people who dont follow the sport,those guys work for years before you see them on your television set

Floyd, for example and his most recent camps, would commit to his marathon workouts (3hrs per session) for 8 weeks, every day but with the occasional rest day, I'd imagine.
On workouts alone, you're at 170hrs of workouts per fight; over a career, you're looking at 7000hrs of workouts. And that's before counting road work, sparring, etc.
their whole lives you cant part time this.
Boxing is a way of life, I have done other sports etc but nothing compares to boxing, boxing is more than just a sport its a way of life.
The top boxers wake up boxing and go to sleep boxing.
All my real fellow boxers here know that whenever you'll idle you shadow box out the blue like a natural instinct kicks in, boxing is a way of life.
I can confirm that.
I also just do shadow boxing out od nowhere or throw a couple punches when my hands are free.
It would be interesting to see a counter of hours spent for these fighters. Would probably bee up in 30000-50000 hour range

Some guys are only in the gym when a fight is coming up and other guys like Mayweatehr are always in the gym just because they like to train.
