Chewing tree sap
Harding hands with brine
chopping wood
Ju-Jistsu (Demspey)

 

I don’t think he did Ju-Jitsu for boxing. It’s literally pointless. I’ve seen Mayweather, Vitali and many more still chop wood.

 

It is known. All men must serve.

 

It was his way of staying in shape.

 

Emanual Augustus- his method was to be drunken and dancing around

 

My old pal Kirkland Laing told me he used to chew 10 pieces of gum at once for an hour at a time to strengthen his jaw.
Not sure you’d find it in the boxers training manual 2022!

 

If I recall correctly, in marathons, overhydration tends to cause more serious issues than dehydration

 

Dempsey references chewing gum I believe in his book. Harold Johnson advocated it to Ali after a spar because Muhammad had a sore one

 

James Toney did something similar, but used McDonald's rather than chewing gum.

 

Ah Interesting. Maybe something in that then

 

Haha! Very good

 

I don’t like to tease Toney. He’s my great nephew, I’d prefer If you’d ease up on it.

 

Didn't he say "If I'm the poster boy for steroids, then steroids is going out of business"?

 

Yes it was at our Thanksgiving dinner.

 

Sadly no. Closest thing I've seen recently was Terrence checking Porter's hooks with biceps stops.
