Is Marciano the hardest working heavyweight fighter in the gym of all time?

He certainly is up there! I presume that we are just talking heavyweights.

Ali trained very hard for the big fights and Holyfield wasn't called the best conditioned heavyweight of all time for nothing. Jim Jeffries was known as a fanatical trainer too.

Another, who might not be thought of is Ron Lyle! 1000 pressups an hour (thats one pressup every three seconds for the entire hour without letup!!!!)! I've just finished reading his biography.....and lets just say, he worked very hard in the gym. Ken Norton too, he trained like a man possessed for the big fights, his physique clearly reflects this (he didn't do weight training till after he retired, his muscle tone came down to boxing training and I guess genetics!). I've read reports that suggested that Kenny could have been a terrific track and field star, an excellent natural athlete.

Holy Jeebus! I'd be dead... gone.. absolutely nuffink left if I tried that.

Possibly yes. To get a much better insight into his training regime, I'd reccomend reading the book ''Rock of his Times''. A excellent read.

Vitali has done steroids aswell do. What's not to say he hasn't done them more than once?

[QUOTE=Die Antwoord;9497554]Vitali Klitschko easily has them all. Look at him. 39 years old, look at his body. He always is the same weight, always well conditioned, throws more than any of those guys, never has been down unlike those guys and has had over 100 professional fights in boxing and kickboxing and has already accomplished a lot out of the ring.

Ask yourself this, other than Holyroid what boxer came close to looking in that great of shape and being at the top of the game at 40. And Vitali wins because he looks more like his prime, and is better at this age than holy was.

Vitaly was sucking wind by the 4th round against an old Lewis who has been the best fighter he fought his whole career.

Vitaly has also been caught using steroids.

There is absolutely no comparison between either Klitschko and past greats who easily did 15 rounds and against better competition.

Isnt there supposed to be a moderator on this board. One who gave me an infraction for replying to this stuff, one who said personal attacks would not be tolerated? Hey if this stuff is fine, just say so, and I will go after people like this. Rather I will appeal to the moderator and expect this guy to be banned. If not then the mod is simply a fraud.

As clearly displayed in this thread I was just taking part in the convo and sharing my opinion and have to deal with this stuff. So here ya go moderator. This clearly violates the rules so ban him, otherwise, never try to enforce a rule again.

I can't be on here 24/7, but if you have a problem with the way this board is moderated I suggest you simply don't post here. Believe me, your nuthugging of the K bros is something this board doesn't need and surely wouldn't be missed.

he was dedicated and always showed up in supreme condition. Holyfield and Frazier are up there. I dont know about him being the hardest working, at any given time a fighter can completely dedicate himself in a training camp, with Rocky it was always consitent, and that makes the difference i suppouse.

Probably yes.

[RubenSonny]

For recent 12 round HWs I'd say Ibeabuchi though we didnt get to see much of him, he has awesome stamina and kept himself in great shape for such a big guy.

probably Marvin Hagler. He's bullet proof. Anyone who did what Hagler did to 25-0 Mugubi had to be conditioned.

Ali must have trained damn hard too because his re cooperative powers were insane.

some others:

Holyfield
Pacquiao
Frazier

those guys never seemed to tire and always had more in them to keep fighting
