Plenty of boxers amateur and pro take all sorts of illegal drugs and have all sorts of habits.

Smoke in any form is bad for an athlete's lungs, no two ways about it, the carbon/tar deposits clogg up the bronchi/alveoli (rusty biology spelling!) in the lungs and make oxygen absorption less efficient. Thats in addition to all the negatives once the contents get into your blood ******.

Basically, dont do it if you are serious about your sport and dont want a criminal record.

Never heard of it.You wouldn't get an elie fighter smoking weed at the top level it would be classed as abusing his body and if they do I beleive they would be limited skill wise.

someone already mentioned ill repeat kjust to confirm both tyson and dawson smoked weed while active. dawsons NC was originally a W but changed cuz he tested positive for the sweete sweet herb. tyson did all kinds of **** when he got out of jail.

ppl keep saying hagler smoked weed but i never heard it from a reliable source.

i assume mike mccallum, simon brown, glen johnson, oneil bell, lennox lewis, razor ruddock and trevor berbick all smoked weed active or not

i have known Am boxers who smoke - not cigs.
and they have had reputable records.

btw, smoking the ganj should not have any effect on the lungs as good quality smoke will take one or two tokes before u dont need any for the rest of the night, or day after.


only kids who think they are cool smoke blunts or samoke excessively.


any smoker/ex-smoker worth his bodyweight in salt knows that u need not more than a toke or two. and mj actually opens the bronchial tubes btw.

so anybody who says mj is reckless just doesnt know what the hell they are talking about, or has been subjected to ditchweed not fit to be used to calm off an angry hornets nest.

Facts are - good MJ is good - in moderation! but if your sport tests, then dont take chance. the little amount of smoke, will not affect your breathing at all. but u dont wanna be dirty on a test if boxing is very important to you.


and dont listen to others who dont know what they hell they talk about. they dont have any nurses or docs in their family i'd bet, or have done research, read research, etc.

and for the record, i'm no pothead. just informed and sees how much damage the misinformation and war on soft drugs have done.

I know Zab Judah loves his blunts lol
