Who trained harder: Mayweather or Hagler?

[babynuts]

Well, nobody really knows, none of us have ever seen either in a full training camp, never mind both, so we cannot compare.

One thing is for sure, Mayweather sometimes enters training camp in better shape than most fighters turn up on fight night. He looks like he's ready to fight already, you have to respect that.

Mayorga and it's not close

who the hell did marvin hagler duck? A whole division? He spent his entire career as a middleweight. I am not here to argue moot points. You need to show more respect for hagler than that, son. We are talking about one of the toughest fighters, ever. Can you say the same about floyd? Now he is the one fighter i've ever seen with skills, who's ducked the most comepetitve fights.

why didnt he move up like everyone else had to? In all of his biggest fights people had to move up to fight him true or false? Why didnt he go up n fight michael SPINKS or anyone? He was the bigger man in most of his fights. Why did all of the greats around that time have to fluxuate their weight but he didnt? And hagler is in my top 5 so i show him respect i just notice every thing changes with posters when floyd is involved. If you want to say floyd ducked margarito, okay... Who else? Paul williams? And please dont say pac man. Floyd being a ducker is just a safe haven for u guys who hate him its a bit overused imo. But let floyd had never went up in weight (while he had the opportunity) u guys would crucify him...

Mayweather is known for his obsessive training regiment, working out whenever he thinks the other guy is resting. And he is probably even out-working Manny for May 2. But Hagler was also animal when it came to training. Isolating himself on cape cod, running backwards, pushing himself until he was literally screaming in pain, hardcore stuff.

In reality Floyd is just resting while the other guy is training.

Floyd sleeps until 3pm every day apparently.

I live on Cape Cod....when Marvin was in camp,I would drive down to Provincetown to watch him.

The area in the winter is really desolate,cold...no one around,most of the inns and business closed for the season.

And there's Marvin,running in combat boots...along with Robbie Sims and a couple of sparring partners.

I use to have a great picture of Marvin and my family...

Hard to say anyone trained harder than him.

Marvin Hagler was a "career" middleweight. That means he didn't fight at any other weight because his body was perfect for his weight class. Winky Wright, Terry Norris, and Fernando Vargas, were fighters who did the same thing. He didn't have to go up to another division. Is that all you have on him??? And Michael Spinks was a Light Heavyweight for the majority of his career until he moved up to Heavyweight. What are you talking about?

Did hagler's diet consist of pizzas and burgers like Floyd's does?

You really think Hagler not moving up was a bad thing for his career ?, moving up to fight Michael Spinks or Dwight Qawi (Who also called him out and told him too move up) would of been career ****ing suicide, Hagler was a natural Middleweight through and through if he moved up he would of been too small, no one is accusing Mayweather of ducking boxers at higher weights then what he is in at the time, you're twisting it. Floyd being a ducker is a safe haven yet you're accusing Marvin ****in Hagler of ducking people who were that much bigger then he was when he was already ripped as **** at Middle, silly argument.

Are you goin too say that Monzon ducked Bob Foster because he was fighting at Middleweight ?, did Duran duck Monzon while he was fighting at Lightweight ?, **** no, your argument is just wrong.

im not trying to have anything on him but he could have went up, if this was floyd you wouldnt give or have any excuses for him he would be a ducker for not moving up... ive seen your many post calling out floyd... but ive had this argument many times... pacs body was perfect for a particular weight and he went up, floyd went up, SRL went up Duran went up... everyone else needs to go out of their comfort zone and thats what made them great but Hagler never did that. but on the flip side ur right he didnt have to so lets end it there.... its just an argument to have amongst boxing fans thanks for no name calling... the thread was about who trains harder and u went on that rant i was really playing devils advocate!
