    apparenntly ricky hatton smokes like a fire between fights and, can't remember which, it's either la motta or marciano used to smoke 20 a day

      weed before a fight? all those months of training and then immediately cut your fighting effectiveness by about 95% with a spliff before the fight. what a spaz

        I remember an article in the Ring Mag(In the 80's) about how alot of smoking boxers were switching to chewing tobacco.

        Alot of boxers smoke pot during their off time. The thing is it stays in their system for a few months so they fail the drug test. Witherspoon did this when he lost the second fight to Bonecrusher. It wasn't like he lit up right before the fight. But it didn't do him any good.

            Heres a few. Although many may have not smoked in training camps:

            Mike Tyson
            Max Baer
            Julio Cesar Chavez
            Joe Louis
            Frank Bruno
            Chris Eubank
            Carlos Monzon
            Johnny Bredahl

            I also have a picture of Ali holding a cigarette. Who knows if he smoked? I guess he would deny it!!

            I didn't know Ricky Hatton liked a ciggie though!!

              Smoking doesn't do as much damage as people make out. In the 50s everyone smoked.
