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

[Frighteous]

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.

comparing one of the heaviest steroid users in modern sports (briggs, noted to be using about 10,000.00 USD worth of steroids from balco weekly) to a blown up middleweight /light heavyweight legend who never gets fat

BTW this thread fails, as HAYE is the fastest heavyweight since ALI

edit: damn some1 beat me to it

where's proof of Briggs steroid use?

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.

smh at how ignorant people are. Its a shame that so many people think weightlifting is bad for a boxer.

Two different extremes? Barely built any muscle? He came in at 174 lbs (next heaviest to date). Haye is a heavyweight, 231 lbs (316 lba when he fought Valuev), of course he's going to look bulky.


Don't get so sore and tacky cause everyone is pissing on your little parade. You thought you were being smart and controversial - we think you're being a silly ****.

Since when does lifting weights make your arms heavy?

When you gain muscle your body has the STRENGTH to support "heavy" arms. ******. Which means they arent heavy at all.

Do any of yall even work out?

hell nah dawg

u know damn well most of these dudes are overweight couch potatos

they dont know squat about training

Being overly muscled can be bad. However I don't think Haye or Lacy have that terrible stamina, although Lacy is a bit ponderous.

I could be wrong but didn't Lacy claim he never lifted weights? I don't believe it myself though, just looking at him.

Many boxers lift weights, but it shouldn't be the major part of your training. See Shannon Briggs...

you will definitely feel heavier when you gain weight, you may be stronger, but when you get tired, you'll really get tired

I dont think it effects all boxers the same. Take Khan for example, pre-prescott the guy was top heavy. VERY top heavy. It effected his game a lot. The kid had no muscle in his lower body, to which a boxer should have. How UK trainers did not see this is beyond me. Afterwards ofcourse his game has improved a lot and he is now evenly balanced i should say. Now, Take Juan Urango for example. Being built like a tank i think worked perfectly for him. He was never a slickster and relied only on his strength. Which got him Two World Titles. It can vary.
