David Haye and Jeff Lacy prove that lifting weights is bad for a boxer

[etlux]

Bold statement.

Hopkins dropped his daily running routine and started to lift weights when he moved to LW and prepared for Tarver. He was stronger than ever and faster in that fight.

There are numerous ways to build up muscle without losing speed, agility and stamina.

Hopkins barely built any muscle, does he look like a body builder to you? We're talking about two completely different extremes. Look at Shannon Briggs then look at Hopkins, then look yourself in the mirror and realize what a dumbass you are.

They have no stamnia and poor work rate. When you lift weights your arms get heavy and tired. Jeff Lacy and the new David Haye prove that.

not true....

[Dynamite Kid]

Yeah, I agree here but TS is right to a certain extent. Haye has gotten too bulky and has lost his overall speed. He looked sluggish and his movement; MY GOD; his movement wasn't the same, so slow on his feet. One could never expect him to get close to Wlad/ Vitali with that slow movement. He needs to stop getting bulkier; he looked alot better against Barret.

^^^^^Wrong Haye is the fastest HW since Ali

[SplitSecond]

what about shane mosley? his movement is awkward and not fluid, but he's still fast and hits hard

Mosley reverts back to the Holyfield like of reasoning: Steroids.

Yeah I couldn't believe I heard that. Haye actually lost speed and I noticed that from the 1st round; then to hear that

Mosley=Roids
Tyson=only lifted weights after he came out of prison and he was noticeably slower and had no stamina

But Hatton has foot speed to fall back on.

yes I know that. But part of his weight training involved using his legs for heavy lifting. u can see the 24/7 with mayweather for that

there is differant kind of weight training, there is power lifting, training for size gains, strength training, muscular endurance training, core training the list goes on...

yes i know. im aware of this

well obviously Hatton EMPLOYED them far differently than Briggs and Haye do because Hatton is not in the slightest bulky and doesn't have body building muscles so you sort of fail there and thus your post made no sense

it made all the sense in the world. TS weights were bad and i showed him an example of were they are not bad 4 boxers. he never spoke on the way they were EMPLOYED, thus u fail
