Unique Training Methods

What training methods of boxers do you find, unique, stupid, useful or plain ridiculous?

Stanley Ketchel not bathing during training and even leading up to the fight to give him an extra advantage during a fight.

Marvin Hagler training away from family and friends.

Chris Eubank not eating for a week while training to make weight.

During training Ricky Hatton only takes supplements.

 

So what does his diet look like?

 

read an article with him saying, he takes alot of supplements, wouldnt suprise me as one of his coaches is a bodybuilding trainer.

Ah.

Fair enough.

 

Hagler training away from family and friends is quite common I think.

Calzaghe certainly does it. His training methods are old school and seem to suit him.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

gotta admit though, if he did do this, it must have been effective.

any more?

 

tyson running wit a 50 pound bag to stop growing.

 

What sort of advantage would he gain by doing that? His opponent retiring cuz he don't wanna be near the stinky man?

 

I assume he would be devistating in a clinch, aint trying to be funny wit that either.

 

Yea, I have read this to, seriously doubt it though considering its always mentioned in the same bogus tyson training article.

 

what about the guys who take the axe or the hammer??? how effective is this¿?

 

Tommy Loughrin put this smelly grease in his hair for Primo Canera fight, you can see Canera trying to get his nose away from the smell in clinches.

Roland La Starza was oddball, supposedly would not brush teeth leading up to a fight.

 

I know that Foreman and Ali both used to chop a lot of wood in training. Seemed to work well for them..

 

how about that one dude who chased chickens around and went all the way to russia to train?
