Yes. Most boxing coaches are ignorant idiots when it comes to weight training.
sooo weight training has been a staple of boxing forever and to argue that weight training is good or bad with out taking the effort to specify exactly what you mean by weight training is ignorance from both parties.

even more so to make a thread about weight training with out specifying exactly what you mean by weight training is nothing but an attempt to troll.
