worthless bastard so I don't have to prove anything to you. Unlike your lazy
self I don't spend 24/7 at the computer. So of course it would take time for me
to respond you piece of garbage. Take your opinions and shove it.|

to remember Mr. Jimmy saying Jerry never used weights.In the past they
thought it would bind muscles and make boxers lose flexibility and speed but
modern training techinques can work around that.Evander Holyfield built
himself up from a crusierweight with weight training to a heavyweight and I
don't think it slowed him down one bit.|

do you think your Uncle Jerry would have said to some of these guys who pop in
here?|
|1/13/06 02:05:37 PM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|Kent: Ken
Norton swore he didn't build muscles with traditional weight training, but with
gym systems like Soloflex, and isometric excercises. He claimed his chisled
physique was largely hereditary---and that doing basic exercises like running,
push-ups, etc. gave him that form. I'm not sure about Mike Weaver---he might
have lifted. But either way, these guys still had enough speed and flexibility
to beat world class competition consistently. If you look at guys like Foreman,
Holmes, Lyle, Shavers and Ali, they had powerful muscular bodies, but no where
near the classic definition that Norton and Weaver had. The taboo about not
lifting weights really stays with boxers, even today. I've been in gyms where
fighters and trainers say that muscle building by weight repetition kills a
boxer's ability to keep their hands up if the fight goes more than a few rounds.
It's very interesting. I've also heard that having chisled biceps/shoulders
does a little for punching power---but apparently, leverage and technique count
for a lot more. |

years ago I sparred with a few people at a boxing gym and one of those guys was
a weight lifter who looked like he would tear my head off.I put the
gloves on with him but I have to admit I was scared but it turned out he
couldn't hurt me and he mostly missed but I hit him with some jabs and right
crosses in a couple of two minute rounds. A couple of bystanders watching were
surprised becaue even back then I did'nt have well defined muscles and they said
I got the better of him.On the other hand a tall skinny guy who didn't
look like he could punch his way out a paper bag gave me a bloody lip and drew
some blood from my nose and I for sure felt his punches snapping my head back
and I barely laid a glove on him.I did study karate for about four years
but except for my limited sparring experience in the boxing gym, I never had
full contact experience but from what I did experience I would say technique has
it above weight training hands down.I do think that weight traing and/or
the kind of training Norton did does have a place for boxers as a supplement to
their other training.|

at Primo Carnero!Look at the bulging,sculpted muscles.He must have used a
combination of Steriods,heavy weight training,and in reality lots of hard
farming or labor.He had the heart,just not the boxing skills|
