Get a heavybag first. :)

lol, I dont know what I was thinking i quickly edited heavy bag after i read the reply. I am not trying to be a pro boxer I just wanna do it for fun. I am 22 years old so I doubt I could still go pro.

do you want to join a gym? thats the best thing to do.... if you want to just train on your own then buy a heavy bag, you sound a little big for your height, so id start running and eating healthier, what do you eat on a normal basis? it would be good to buy a jump rope too. you can find those on www.ringside.com get 14 oz gloves also and handwraps for hitting the bag, if you dont want to join a gym although i reccomend it, you can buy boxing dvds that you can learn from. ask more questions.

I second that.

2roundko, why shud he lose weight, if he hasnt got much fat then thers no need for him to lose much weight with dat height, look at tua, toney and tyson, all of em below 6ft and all of em heavyweights

Go to a boxing gym first so you can learn how to do it. After you train at the gym for some time, if you can afford it, get a heavy bag because by then, you know what to do with it. That's just my suggestion.

thanks for the replies guys. I work out everyday lift weights and run. Before I started working out regularly I was around 185-190. I am 202 now.

definitely a heavybag first

Start With A Heavy Bag And Develop Your 1-2 Combination First Then Move Onto Throwing Hooks Uppercuts And So On. Speed Comes Later Right Now You Want To Get A Heavy Bag Get Your Fists Used To The Abuse, Also A Heavy Bag You Can Do 2 Minute Drills Non Stop Straight Punches For 2 Minutes 5 Times A Day During Training And This Will Get Your Stamina Up.
