      Getting back up.

      Also, for most actual boxers - the end of their career: most don't know or don't want to accept when it's time to call it a day.

        For me it's the training, staying disciplined. I enjoy giving and taking shots to the head. I don't enjoy so much when I'm knackered and I've got a big guy putting pressure on me forcing me to expend more energy than I have and ****ing me to the body, that's hard.

          Going to train even though you dont feel like it.

          Sparring when you're already sore from your previous sparring session but doing it anyways.

          Staying committed.

          Diet.
          Are you dumb? That's the easiest part, gym nuts and many average joes stay in shape all year round with good diets and workout everyday.. ANY average Joe can do this.

          The art of boxing requires insane talent. Hardest part is avoiding to get hit. Sure anyone can throw a jab, but avoiding it is the hard part.

            As a heavyweight, I've never really had to deal with making weight. I've seen guys at lighter weights, including a couple of pros, go through hell trying to boil down.

              There are lots of hard punchers out there and no doubt some I have never seen. I think GGG and Stevenson must be near the top of any hard puncher list. There must be at least a dozen other guys in that same class as punchers.
