    Floyd jr? Is there a 147 pounder last 30 years who trains harder?

    Floyd has been compared to fighters from the past and we debate back and forth on how he would have competed against those fighters. Here's a new question. How would you compare Floyd's work ethic in the gym compared to past greats like Duran, Leonard, Benitez, Hearns and other former welterweights"

    Does anyone have information on how these guys above trained? I know some fighters back then would let themselves get way out of shape, you had fighters drinking and doing drugs between fights and then going back to training camp to get back in shape. It seems Floyd is always in shape, doesn't drink or smoke and is very committed when he trains.

    How does he train so hard if he is eating junk-food all the time, part of training hard is discipline on the foods we eat. The only reason Floyd is overrated is because he took the safe-route at cherry picking the majority of his career. He did nothing at 147 to have any comparisons to the best of this sport.

        Another thing to take in to account, why would he train so hard if he isn't willing to get in the ring with the 147 elite to begin with?

          They can't train that hard because they don't use xylocaine like Floyd.

                Alot of fighters train year round except maybe couple weeks after a fight they get a break. Floyd just eats junk food all year long, how often is he in the ring training every day?

                  His trains his jaw muscle all the time. Then goes out there and rant against asian people.

                  He has weird ethics when it comes to training. When most would train during the day. Floyd runs up the mountains of nevada after midnight before fights. His gym work outs are all in the afternoon not early in the morning like all the other greats in the welterweights old and new. Floyd would probably beat other great ones, he has the advantage of ranting and he lives in that altitude.
