Swimming is AWESOME..... swimming works muscles you never knew you had...try treading water in 10 feet deep...for as long as u can (make sure someone is with you, though, seriously, so your legs dont give out on you and u drown)...I used to swim in a hotel pool that was like 40 yards long......i would swim and hard and fast as I could to one end and then turn around and go back..over and over...thats a TOUGH workout!!

yup...you did good , topic. You had good sense to see the prospect of an interesting piece. good work

When I saw your threads, I figured it'd make for something to take to the water cooler.

Question, is swimming a good workout and how much should I swim if I'm starting out?

LOL I dont have it out for the guy..This article is a surprise to me.... my boy emailed me some questions and I answered them, thats all....I didn't pursue it.....I come here and post about EVERYTHING...I am on this board for years and now all of a sudden people make it like I am out for Floyd Sr.....I am making comments just like you..and you..and you and you and you and you...u know?

The point of the article was to show other perspectives on this issue. I saw that you had an opinion and as a fellow trainer, I thought it'd be nice to show people what one person in the know felt.

[Mr. Ryan]

lol one of you guys said go public with it, there ya go.

Yeah, I couldn't resist dropping such an article

Props to Ice for the cooperation.

Good luck to your fighters.

PS....I also am lucky in that I dont take these things personal. I know for FACT 100 percent that there are 2 areas that I made Chad what he is now...his jab and his bodyshots... Those are ME. When I got him he was already super slick, reflexes, good feet, let his hands go etc.....he had no jab and no body shots, though, 9especially thebody shot with the left hand) and thats what I gave him. I will never let any trainer, mayweather or whoever, take that away. but when Chad had to leave it was easy for me to let go. I have my gym and my amateur kids, including an amateur featherweight who is like a son to me, a kid who I will make sure NEVER turns pro no matter what he does (and he is good, holds amateur wins over Jose Aguiniga, David Martinez, Vequan Kimbrough and Adam Carrera among others) and I would choose the guys I have right now over leaving and training a big time super star if it meant leaving my guys I have now.

That's awesome. Being a trainer is always fascinating (at least to me) no matter if it's a top guy, or someone just starting out. as long as they have the desire. Sometimes it's even more fascinating getting a completely new guy, being priviledged enough to teach them from the ground up, wondering hpw far they'll go.

Personally, I don't like these gun for hire trainers, who come in and take over a fighter. It seems like it's more for the money, and I think you need to have your heart in it. Boxing should be sport first, family second, business third.

Following Oscar De La Hoya's decision to drop Floyd Mayweather Sr. from his corner for his May fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr., a firestorm has raged between Mayweather Sr. and new trainer Freddie Roach. [details]

As always, Scully tells it like it is.

A couple of thoughts from the peanut gallery, here:

1. Oscar was right to get a new trainer and oust Sr. You don't need that kind of turmoil going into a fight of this magnitude. The purpose of the trainer is to get his charge prepared for the fight, not attract the spotlight like crap does flies. The story is the fight and the fighters, not the trainer vs his estranged son. If that's what he wants, he should rent a gym and spar with Jr. and settle things.

2. Now we know where Jr.'s "attitude problem" comes from....he gets it honest.

I train USBA 122 pound champion Mike Oliver (he fights on SHOBOX next Friday) and I train former USBA/NABF champion Pito Cardona (he fights Zab Judah in April). I also have former National JO champion and Silver Gloves champion Sammy Vega in the regional Golden Gloves and ABF tournaments (that's two chances to qualify for nationals)
