In all honesty, there's really no answer for that other than; "It depends". So many variables come into play like the routine, the boxer himself, etc.
I prefer to think more in terms of macronutrients (protein, carbs, fat) and and adjusting those based on what a person needs. Your body will tell you a lot by the way you feel, how your weight changes as well as bodyfat percentage. Dieting is definitely not a "one-size-fits-all" equation, even for boxers.

I figured that. i just was wonderin if there was a minimal amount that set the standard of work thats usually done. like altogether the minimum should be no less than 4000 burned in a day or somethin n then intake the amount needed to get the results needed. O well. Thanks for collaboratin.

Well if his intake was 2800, then he is burning between 4000 and 4500 to drop that kinda weight in 8-12 weeks (if you were to go by the "book"). Thats some work to put in. You figure the average human burns 2,000 calories a day without excercise. Your workin hard to get those other 2500 off.

At that time...

-- Ricky Hatton was jogging (not running) 5 miles / 60 min
-- 2-4 hours at the boxing gym
-- Heavy Strength Training several times per week.

And a lot of the 2800 calories per day came in the form of Protein Shakes and supplements ie it wasn't 2800 calories in burgers.

OH AND

The last 10 lbs. or so was pretty much just dehydration/starvation to make weight. Then pig out after.

right lmao. You definately need too know how to eat because 2800 calories isnt that much as far having a full stomach n satisfying hunger (you could eat that in a sitting with junk food). You got know how to use those calories and which ones to stock up on in order to accomplish what you need. i.e weight loss while keeping muscle.

are diuretics considered performance enhancing? i have never done them but im assuming they would be banned given their ability to effect the amount of water the body retains.

JCC JR win got a W ruled NO-CONTEST due to using some banned diuretic to make weight.

But it depends on the diuretic I guess. IDK.
