I'm getting the impression that YOU have no RHYTHMM, so YOU can't hit the speed bag. Just because YOU can't do it, doesn't mean OTHERS can't do it. If I'm training somebody, I'm training them how to approach the speed bag just as they would approach any other boxing tool, as if it's an opponent. If you don't approach a tool as if it's an opponent, then it very well may be useless. Again, you're reflecting your OWN reality as if it's the ONLY reality.
Don't listen to virus, he's an imbecile. There are plenty of videos of Hopkins punching a speed bag in correct punching form. I guess Bernard Hopkins doesn't know **** about boxing. People like Virus are what they indicate they are. They are VIRUSES. Do not listen to his ignorance. If he truly wanted to help people, especially considering his speciality, assuming he is what he says he is, he would have created a thread on specific lifts boxers could use to improve their performance. He has done NO such thing. The guy is envious. He's a jealous, bitter individual.
I've never wasted my time trying to learn the speed bag. As I've stated multiple times, it's useless. Nothing to do with being able to use one or not. It's the fact I'm not going to waste my time building a useless skill. Explain how you can approach a speed bag as an opponent. What you're saying makes no sense. Exactly. The speed bag is useless in reality.
You know what people do when they can't prove someone wrong... They throw personal insults at the person showing them up, just as you do here and every other time you can't use your intellect to prove your point. Feel free to explain how the speed bag improves boxing ability.
What have you ACCOMPLISHED in boxing??? Honestly??? What all time boxer do you know that Didn't use the speed bag??? I mean, a speed bag is an INTEGRAL part of boxing. If you never bothered to learn the speed bag, what makes you think you're qualified to speak on it??? You don't understand it. Why don't you LEARN it. I believe in you. I THINK You can learn it. Why don't you try???? Then come back and apologize. The speed bag is one of the best things to do at the end of your camp to refine your skills and work on your timing.
How do YOU know what it does when you can't even use it yourself??? Don't YOU realize how IGNORANT this sounds???? LEARN IT FIRST. YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED to speak on it.
Irrelevant. The usual "pro's do it so I must follow". What a sad way to look at things. Is it? So if a boxer doesn't use the speed bag they're guaranteed to lose? What kind of a re****ed argument is that? I understand enough to know its useless. Because it's usueless... I'm not going to waste my time on a pointless skill. Sorry. If you honestly believe this then you aren't very bright.
How can you not hit a speed bag? It's honestly not that hard. How do you expect to react to punches if you can't hit a speed bag??? Can you hit a double end bag??? If you can't even do it yourself, you're not qualified to speak on it. You have no idea.
Virus, you need to stay in your narrow lane. Make sure you wear a helmet because I don't want you to hurt yourself.
I'm saying, you don't know anything about boxing. Stick with what you do know, which apparently is not that much.
I probably wouldn't listen to dealt with or virus! They change their argument based on old skool or science depends on which suits at the time. Basically they are confrontational.
