    southpaw89 David Haye uses a lot of weights and he was one of the fastest heavyweights.

    He did. He used barbell shrugs to build up his traps and shoulders in the 80s.

    G-Man trained very different to other boxers.The guy was a complete animal,after stewart he virtually trained himself.Did alot of one arm push ups..and yes ofcause tyson did weights,dude your not born with a body like that and push ups only take you so far.

    GMan didn't actually train them per se, they were actually bred to fight. Mainly just fed them a healthy diet and kept them fighting frequently.

    first no one said anything about foreman.

    secondly, all you posted was a link to a post you made in another forum.

    do you have some kind of foreman interview from a credible source for people to read because that would actually be interesting.

    thirdly in the post you linked you talked **** on puncing heavy bags from the back of jeeps and wood chopping to which the site owner responded with a videos of james kirkland punching a heavy bag hanging from a truck and quotes from earnie shavers talking about chopping wood and sledge training being one of his most important strength/conditioning exercise.

    actaully, this is what he says.

    We'd always said boxers shouldn't lift weights. Now I realize some champion boxer started that rumor. I noticed if I did weights a couple of times a week, I would be able to hit that jab a lot longer. After sparring, everybody's gone and I sneak into the weight room. Spend 40 minutes in there lifting weights.

    betcha he was doing low weights high reps.

    good article though thanks for sharring.
