Do you train at this level?

That is nothing, every member of this board does twice that and runs 10+ miles a day apparently.

No offence but I feel many live in a dream world.

I know for a fact my joints would absolutely hate me if I could manage to do half the routines people claim to do on here.

If you want a serious answer you're probably better off pming Raycorso, Rockin' or Icemanscully, guys who have actually competed because all you're likely to get on here is people who claim to do 42k marathons just as their warm up.

LOL, you said 'joints' But now that you've mentioned it, walking around in my 42nd year, my joints are hurtin' and horribly so in cold temperatures.

Thanks for the compliment............ Rockin'

Have you tried Cissus? Its a supplement that helps transport nutrients to the tendons and helps keep your joints oiled up. Very popular in the body building industry. Maybe worth looking into as its very cheap and effective if your joints are aching.

What i hate is all this fancy talk about trying this, and then do these box jumps, and then bash a tyre with a hammer, and then do this type of sprint and then switch it to this.

Conditioning coaches do all this and they get paid top dollar, half the time to make a fighter feel like he's getting all this wonderful new training and the fighter gets to try new stuff.
coz they did this at MMA.

I'm not being funny, and i may sound 'old hat' but, half of this **** doesn't work anyway. If you're training correctly, using the techniques boxers have always used for many years, you won't need all this fancy stuff.

I mean, MMA isn't boxing. so why adapt MMA Training in your routine?

you wanna train like an MMA fighter, go be one. there's no school like the old school.

i appreciate what conditioning coaches can do for you. but those ladders on the floor?

i find it junk, fighters in the 80's were doing fine without all this. and imo that produced the best era

Get a good balance of your bagwork, sparring, shadow boxing, skipping, roadwork and finally groundwork. You won't need much else, leave the rest to all those science mother****ers on here

[greenwitch]

Everytime i see Floyd mayweather clips.

He's doing either bags, bit of shadow boxing, situps, roadwork, some speedball and fast light padwork. skipping and finally neck exercises with weights.

Where's all the science stuff here? the MMA techniques? and he's arguably the greatest fighter of this generation.

Because his uncle knows some **** about boxing and so does his father

Everytime i see someone on here talking about fancy training methods and this and that.

You just know they're keeping fit and watching what they see on Youtube. They're not competing nor coaching

Lol, you sound like the siamese twin that I had to have removed from the right side of my body............ Rockin'

Haha i'll take that as a compliment

Indeed they do.....

Floyd Jr has been brought up to be a boxer from the time that he could crawl. He had 2 excellent teachers, I favor Roger over Floyd as far as styles, but Floyd Sr had to have laid down some extremely solid fundamentals for Floyd Jr. I loved when Roger, the Black Mamba. would just drop that right hand in after the jab back in his days bouts..... good night. I used to watch Floyd Jr at our state tournaments back in the day, even then he pranced around like he was the man but he always won. Because he was the man, even then. He's more than fulfilled his destiny. ........ Rockin'
