Who here goes to Gleason's gym in Brooklyn?

Why are you guys saying that I will get my ass whooped at 233 pounds at 5"9?

I don't think that it means you'll get your ass whooped but you are always more effective against smaller competition. I think Margarito is a prime example of this.

Woodlawn Jersey City in the house.

Many here assume that you are built like someone who eat 3 meals a day @ Burger King's. Its a different story if you are all muscle though, like Mike Tyson, short but well built in his prime that is.

Now I see. Thanks for clearing that up. I eat 100% clean and do religious cardio everyday to make things clear. I am around 11% bodyfat (Last time I checked was with in my old gym a few months ago).
I used to religiously lift weights and bodybuild for 5 years, in which I would do tons of squats and deadlifts as well as benchpresses, which is probably what built my super heavyweight foundation. I now just lift weights once a week since conditioning for boxing is a greater priority I have and must expend all necessary energy towards stamina and endurance which is pretty damn important!

bodybuilding is not boxing... bodybuilding will leave u stiff not able to punch .. and when u punch the opponent will be out of range or slipping and weaving and countering before u can even bring your hand back... ive sparred some hard punchers that fight at 141 that have wicked right hands .. it has to do with technique mre than muscle.. im very muscular for my wieght also.. and guys with lots of movement and speed give me trouble

[El Dominicano]

Body building ain't gonna help you as a boxer. It'll help you take punches but you won't be fast enough to land...We've all seen Jeff Lacy and dude ain't fit for boxing

[nickphilli]

yeah man, i wish you the best of luck, but at 5'9 you should try and get down to atleast cruiserweight..unless you have the head movement of a prime mike tyson..im 5'10 with an arm length of 29 inches from the armpit to the end of the fist..and i can make 122 still..but who knows im only 17 and about to leave for USMC bootcamp so i may put on some weight..but yeahh if you want to stay at heavy, work on that head movement and getting on the inside

How much is Gleason's costing you guys, a month?

[El Dominicano]

I'm like 3 blocks away from Clottey's gym. I was gonna join but 55 a month and 5 dollars a day I just wanted to say *** U!
