fighters who always abstained from women when boxing

[irishdude]

Muhammad Ali pre 1971 is the only decisive one I know. I know Tyson used to chap up women in elevators and try to secude them while training.

Mike Silver said that not only did Rocky Marciano abstain from sex during training camp, but he simply didn't contact her when in camp.

Marvin Hagler was said to cut off contact during training camp.

Mike Tyson, at least in the 80's anyway. He said in Tyson: Documentary that he tried to hold of sex for as long as possible because he heard stories about how the old timers wouldn't do it when leading up to a fight.

Actually despite this (claiming he abstained for five years as he was an up-and-comer) he claimed to have contracted gonorrhea immediately before his first title fight with Berbick, and can't recall from whom (which seems to suggest this was more than an isolated incident leading up to that fight).
