When I say this, I mean in AND out of the ring. Someone who NEVER undertrained, never came into a fight out of shape. Someone who kept his nose clean and never let the temptations that come with money and power destroy his career (like guys like Tyson and Ibeabuchi). And in terms of "in ring", guys who weren't fustrated easy, guys who weren't thrown off of their gameplans.
The guy who comes to my mind first is B-hop...
Hopkins as a guy who never balooned up in weight and was always in shape (stayed at the same weight pretty much his whole career). I've never seen him come into a bout unprepared or out of shape. And obviously the guy wouldn't have lasted as long as he did unless he had some serious discipline.
Anyway what do you guys think? I Know there are TONS more that could be listed and made a case for. Marvin Hagler stuck out in my mind as well.
