What is the secret to being a good boxer?

What do you think is the secret to being a good boxer?

Work hard? Play hard? Intimidate? Work on your abs?

I think something all boxers should know, is to work on your legs. Work on your movement, and strengthen your legs.

Sure, you can move your head. But moving your head around won't give you angles, it won't take away your opponen'ts straight punches, it won't give your punches that extra mustard.

Strengthen your legs.

What is your secret?

I think it's dedication. Keep working hard, they say practice makes perfect. In this case, training can only make you better. But I must say, I don't think everyone is cut out to be a boxer.

Co-sign krueger. You can work hard all you want get an amazing body but how many times have you seen people who work beautifully in the gym and look great at everything get into the ring and suddenly all that greatness just vanishes? Sparring is the way to go.

[Richie-G]

Dedication, hard work and repetition.

Spar spar spar and more sparring......

i agree with these two. there isn't any secret to it other than hard work. natural talent can come into it but you can have all the natural talent in the world, if you ain't got hard work and dedication you will never make it.
