just been wondering this for awhile. Are you supposed to have 1-2g of protein per pound of bodyweight or kilogram? to me, per kg seems more reasonable, especially for boxers. What do you guys think? weightlifters/powerlifters usually say per lb of bodyweight...

Per pound is a bodybuilder thing. You don't wanna put on muscle like they do. Plus, it's really hard on the digestive system.

A boxer would do well on a gram per kg basis- should be well enough to recover from the trauma of boxing training.
