Khan deadlifting 4 plates, lookin to sit down on his shots more? Garcia gettin KTFO!!

[Brother Jay]

it does though, aslong as you dont do so much that it ruins your technique, strenght is as important in punching power as percision and timing, if not, more

Not the kind of strength that heavy lifting does.

Weight lifting strength has ZERO to do with power.

In a name: Tommy Hearns.

There are skinny amateur guys that weigh 130lbs that can knock out a 200lb guy. Some people carry that kind of power. If heavy lifting had anything to do with power, then every boxer would be heavy lifting to get more power. The majority don't because it doesn't.

Think about it.

1) khan is NOT dead lifting 4 plates of 45s, thats what powerlifters do, and he is not pulling that much weight, sorry vcvc, no one that knows a little about powerlifting is gonna believe you...

2) deadlifting will not help khan to become a better fighter

3) deadlifting does not increase punching power, the only thing that MAY increase punching power is full body olympic lifts (Power clean & jerk, and power snatch)

I remember hearing about a program where they would pit various athletes against each other out of their element.

Joe Frazier failed miserably when it came to weight lifting.

Guess what happened when it came for their turn to fight?

[sammiza567]

come on dude. you sure you're not embellishing just a little?

3 times your body weight, and you're not a powerlifter?

There are pleanty skinny guys witch NATURAL Power, but as I said before, Ortiz was never a puncher UNTIL he started weight training, look at what he did to Berto...You have to accept the fact that ur wrong, Why do u think people lift weights, for nothing?, To get big and weak?, No u get big and STRONG...It makes u strong at ANYTHING U have to do envolving ur arms, your dumb to even dissagree...Curling will increase your power OVER NIGHT, if ur dedicated to it, and Im a living witness...I was always weak and scrawny...I can curl ALLOT....When I hit someone in a past fight, I broke his cheekbones, teeth, cut his tongue on his teeth, cut his lip open in two different ways.....and bench pressing is a punching motion, DUH...You cant punch WITHOUT Ur bicept, but the more u curl, you will be a beast...I remember the football players at my school, getting into gang fights, dropping people with one punch....You need to get with the times old top, all that, "U punch with ur hip"...Ur hip is not connected to ur fist, ur biceps are...Get it together, and think before u type...and like I said before, Im a DEVESTATING Puncher...where did the power come from?...In ninth grade I weighed 120lbs, weakling, I can kill someone if I hit them in the wrong spot right about now!..Dont respond with that dumbshiet....by dumbshiet, I mean DISSAGREEING...Cuz this is common sense....Boxing guys try to complicate punching power...."U punch with ur hip, and ur legs"...it aint that complicated...weight lifting makes u stronger at ANYTHING U do, involving ur hands, arms, fist..Its like getting a metal pole and poking someone in the jaw with it...tie a brick to the pole, and it has extra weight, THEN poke someone with it, it will hurt...now thats SIMILAR to adding bicep muscle except, ur bicep is has POWER and force, that lunches the fist like a sling shot, or like a machine-like mechanism...learn about weight lifting before u say dumb stuff..."Weight lifting wont make u strong at all....it wont increase ur power at all"...Ur gonna get beat up real bad messing with a guy that can curl 65lbs....Your gonna get punched into a coma

I hate to break it to you but curling 65lbs is not a huge amount. I can curl that and I don't even consider myself strong. And I aint some big puncher either.

it has alot to do with how stiff you can make your fist at the end as a punch lands, along with the obvious technique is a must

more muscles doesn't always equal strenght, you can be lean and very strong

you can also lift without gaining much muscle considering you do it right, the stronger you are the more potential to hit harder, but the more muscle the heavier, the slower and harder it is to keep your technique intact, it's more difficult to "snap" your entire body and carry stable kinetic energy

agreed. 65 pounds is a nothing weight in terms of punching power (curls in general have ZERO to do with punch power)

alot of people think that people who can lift these crazy weights are automatically these massive punchers. I lifted weights maybe 8-10 times in my life, and I can still crack without weight training. its about speed and technique, not how much you can bench or squat or deadlift...

[P4P50]

First of all, Khan didn't lift that. Anybody who does weight training will know that's for show. However, i'm not hating, cool pic. Also, for you people who are saying lifting weights won't increase punching power you don't know what your talking about. Lifting weights will make you hit harder it's just logic as long as the person has the speed and technique to deliver that power. But sure if he did ONLY weight training and let himself get all slow and tense it will hinder some of his power.

[Mr. Philadel]

Khan is so quick, but I can see Garcia focusing on the inside and working his body to slow him down and frustrate him. When Khan gets frustrated, he pushes, hopefully he has learnt his lesson and will keep that under control. I also think Danny won't let him back up, he is going to follow him around the ring. This is going to be a really good fight, but I think it will go to decision, I don't see either fighter winning by KO.

its gonna be a good fight IMO....BOTH dudes will have their moments...at the end of the day, in my heart I got this a draw....with a gun to my head, Khan takes it!!
