First of all, I know for a fact that De La Hoya and RJJ lifted weights. Second, of course you can be a great fighter without the weights, but that doesn't mean they couldn't have been even better with weights. Your argument is what is called a strawman.




Weights aren't vital? Well, you can become a world class fighter without the use of a heavy bag, does that mean you'd want to leave it out? Again, a strawman argument.



Which trainer doesn't?





You can ONLY give everyone basic advice as to how things work, and then they're gonna have to apply it to their real live situation. How is telling people that they shouldn't do weights at all because it makes them slow any more valid than telling them HOW to do weights the right way? Facts are that correct weight training will make you faster and more explosive. Saying the opposite shows ignorance. I think I put it bluntly, but respectfully, and no offence was meant by what I said. Buckfever didn't seem to take offence, so why should you?

Look, all I'm saying is that weight training can be a valuable tool for any athlete, and dismissing it categorically (like Buckfever did) is wrong. To get optimal results, can be complicated, and needs to be adapted for the individual boxer, but that is not the point we were debating.

You are not saying it can be valuable you are talking like its gospel and should be a staple in everyones regimen.

On a side note weights was not lifted when Jones campaigned at 160-175 during his prime and De La Hoya never until he moved past 147....
