How Is It Possible For Boxers To Get In Such Good Shape

[Spacey1991]

Hard work, dedication and eating the right foods (simple way to put it).

Just out of interest then how many hours a day do the boxers train. I'd imagine they have a day or two of rest each week as well.

They usually train for about 8 hours a day...And yea they do have some days when they take a break but not many

Ricky Hatton is a poor example to be fair. His yo-yo dieting is gonna come back to haunt him later in life IMO.

Personally i think it already does effect him, i mean ye he gets into good shape, but i think if you stayed as fit as possible all year round every year...your going to be that much sharper...stamina will be better...everything would be a plus really.

But back to the question, like most people said, A good diet and the motivation = get into amazing shape fast

Diet is probably the most important part of it all

Hatton's training camps are generally 12 to 13 weeks, which is probably 4-5 weeks longer than your typical fighter, so he does give himself more time just for losing the weight, but yeah its not good for him.

this is not true.......most fighters run for an hour in the morning then train 3 hours in the afternoon, maybe a lifting session at night if there into that.....so about 4-5 hours depending on the fighter


if you want to get in shape quickly you have to push yourself to the limit, also eating at the right times is important....most regular people dont do that so they have trouble losing weight

typically weekends are taken off
