    Which fighters today, or of yester-year go through the most intense training camps before fights?

    Pac and Toney probably spar the most rounds which is always good

    Very little correlation to 'hardest training' and 'best', I'd imagine.
    John Brown did the survivalist method so that's probably the hardest.

    I remember John Brown's team talking about that.. before fighting Shane.. how he was dropped off on an island and had to survive..

    that always makes me laugh.. Shane destroyed him..

    eating bugs and making shelter does not help you slip punches or make your chin stronger

    Rocky Marciano, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, and Shane Mosley all have/had reputations as gym rats. Joe Frazier was known for having extremely intense training sessions (he would need to have amazing stamina for his style).

    Unfortunately, sparring might be the only training that glutton Toney does.

    Yep.

    Anyone that sees Hatton in camp says he trains harder than anyone they've seen train.

    Mike Arnaoutis trains very hard.

    Steve Cunningham actually runs 6 miles a day, like most fighters claim to. He enjoys it so much that he has been doing 9 a day, which could explain why he's about 10lbs lighter than his opponents. I've known him for five years, and the only days off he's ever taken were two days after a fight.

    Pryor didn't go to camp. He went to jail.

    We don't know what fighters actually do in their camps and furthermore, it is disputable what hard training m eans. Is it the hours that the fighter uses to training, is skipping the rope as good as sparring etc

    Terry Norris did a ton of sparring in the gym...sometimes just days before a fight.

    When Tito Trinidad was not training in the gym, he was running marathons, any marathon! Of course that was before he retired and turned chubby.
