It could make a difference.
I have heard it said that Liston's mammy kept every one of her brood on fresh breast milk until their first tooth began poking through their gums and it was time for the next chil'.
You can count on this: all the old time champs grew up on fresh breast's milk.
We wonder what the difference between today's and yesterday's fighters is--Breast Milk will be shown to be the difference.
It will be shown mothers' breast milk builds better punch resistance, as well as producing the proper enzymes for rapid blood coagulation. Marciano's mama mia used to breast feed him between 9 and 17 times a day until he was four years old, rumor is.
If the mother's milk dried up, old time babies got the next best thing--a neighbor mother's milk. Gluttonous toddlers like young Marciano were not above catching a neighborhood mother napping and pilfering a few swallows of novel tasting mother's mead for a quick repast before she could start awake.
Here are some old boxing adages you are probably all familiar with.
One-handed fighters were weaned from the teat too soon, they say.
Quitters are crying for their mother.
He nailed him with his 'milk & honey' punch.
The champ is 'milking' the challenger.
The challenger has stolen the champion's milk again.
The challenger is fighting for only milk money tonight.
Great ring generals know how to milk the judges and the crowd.
We have heard the above sayings so many times we have gotten used to them without really thinking anymore what implications they hold for the game of boxing.
The practice of breastfeeding has been waning in the west for decades. But third world babies still drink mama's milk. No artificial formula for them. There is a good reason most great fighters these days hail from breastfeeding countries--in fact, that is the reason.
Maybe this should go under the nutrition section.
