    Can you have strength speed and stamina?

    I'm a boxer, I know the best boxer ever (perhaps Ray Robinson) had speed, strength and could keep going a long time.
    Fast twitch muscle fibres (type IIx) are both fast and strong and would be perfect for boxing but unfortunately run out of energy quick, that's why sprinters can't sprint for 500+ meters right? So of course I want to be fast, strong and have stamina. My question is, if you target and work fast-twitch muscle fibres specifically (by hitting the heavy bag fast and hard) and for a long time, is it possible for my muscle fibres to adapt to the work load and get more stamina, whilst not loosing speed and strength? basically can I have type IIx fibres that DON'T run out of energy quick?
    if so what should I do to adapt my muscles for stamina AND strength+speed?

    thanks for your help.

    Hitting the Heavy bag as you suggest will produce stamina ,the more you do it the more your body will adapt to it ,the longer you will go . You wont lose speed or strength you will only gain some . .

    Lean muscle is more explosive and SHOULD therefore increase speed ,only you know what your workouts are so? I could get up to a full 3 hrs of HB power punching ,i just took minimal rests of 5 minute tops with around 10/20 minute consistentpunching (depending )

    Be practical throw some light shots in too to not completely wear yourself out .....towards the end i would just focus on direct power shots even if they had less steam on them.

            I wouldn't be bragging that she thinks you're fast, man.

              Fast as in hard and fast. Not as in over in seconds fast.
