hand at boxing and I used to think that if I lifted weights all the time I would
just overpower all my opponents. A fight trainer just looked at me once and said
yea thats what your gonna do next month at the golden gloves, were goin there to
see who can life the most weight right? In order to be a fighter you must fight
that is the rule. If you get to far away from that in your training, you won't
succeed.|

so corect. Give me a boxer who does nothing but spar, hit the heavybag and
speed bag, who runs, and who does push ups and sit ups over someone who does
nothing but lift weights any day. Funny how most people (the general public)
would pick the weight lifter over someone with long lean muscles even though
most of the time the weight lifter would get his ass kicked!Massimo,
when Wilt was with the Lakers, he tried to play more like Bill Russell. He
conentrated on defense and rebounding because he had shooters around him like
Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Gail Goodrich. Don't let his Laker statistics
fool you because on any given day, even late in his career, he could go out an
score 40 points any time he wanted. He was so sick of hearing that he couldn't
win the big game that he was willing to give up maybe another scoring title or
two. Looking back it didn't make much of a difference as he only was a part of
two championship teams in his career.|

weight lifting and muscle building (to excess) not helping a boxer. Being
muscle laden actually hurts a boxer, muscles need lots of oxygen and can be
tiring as a fight continues and they dont contribute to punching power. Bob
Foster had very thin arms and could whip lash a punch that could knock a mans
head off.Most fighters that train with weights usually say they do it so
they arent bullied around the ring or so they can tie up opponents in clinches.
Foreman said he built his arms up to help ward off body shots.About Wilt The
Stilt and boxing...I remember him saying the only doubt he had about it was
whether he could take a punch or not. I also remember Ali telling him he would
have to shave off his goatee cause he " wasn't fighting any billy goats".|

another fight for the title hehas to fight guys like Tua, Rahman, Akinwande
etc, not bums like Clifford !!!! I havean advice for him: STOP FIGHTING, YOU
WERE A GREAT BOXER FORTEEN YEARS AGO !!! Don' t say him that , because I'm
scared of him ! I' m scared at death !!!Kent, Wilt never won an MVP
title with the Lakers ! Why ? Why with all that champions hewon just 1 NBA
title ? No doubt in my mind he was one of the greatest champions of all times,
but I think Shaq is comparable with him, if not better !To Tim Duncan:
Tim, you are great, but we are gonna give you a good whipping !!!!!!!!!!!!|

about Wilt are funny.I remember when my matchmaker Bruce Trampler fixed Too Tall
Jones up with a sure thing.Well, that little Mexican dude had Tall out on his
feet until things calmed down and started going the way they were supposed
to.Some people can't take a shot on the chin.It's not that you are less of a
man, it's just the way you are put together.Boxing is unlike anything in this
world.If you don't beleive that then try it. |

CA||bearstubastanchu@aol.com||||10|I saw Jerry fight many times through his
amateur and pro career. His greatest strength was his killer instinct, second
his power, and third his hand speed. His greatest weakness was that he was not a
thinking fighter at all, he did not always train properly or enough, and of
