    Wasn't you going to enter some wrestling competition some time last year and have someone record you as you won the entire thing?

    english(or logic for that matter)101

    there is no way you can “know" your good enough without good "defence" unless you have been in an official fight(amateur or pro) and they have skills while hit without holding back

    so you should say

    they dont tell me but i "ASSUME" that i am good enough without good defence.

    there is no reasons to count on your chin because your head can only take so much, an okay hitter will put you to sleep.

    this last part i hope everyone that is claiming to have crazy punching power or got a great chin please at least post bagwork and sparring to back it up, it makes esb look like a site for delusional teenage boys that think they are great

    If you want to box --- you better run.
    Skating uses different muscles.
    Light on your feet & toes.
    You gotta run.

    How is soccer *****? your calling many people in the world a ***** considering the fact that it's the most popular sport in the world , on top of that for the most part soccer players don't wear any pads there for wen something happens(like a slide tackle for example) they absorb the full impact while football players don't.

    Boxing is not like running at all, completely different movement. They're both not sports specific. I've never seen a runner that was light on his feet. Skating is heavier on the core muscles. I'd say it's a draw, both do **** for boxing.

    i actually hate it when everyone keeps telling me i have to run to be a boxer, i was doing fine before i started running, my trainer makes us all run, thats how i managed to injure myself because i ran with a slightly strained MCL, it was hard convincing my trainer that the injury was from running he thought i was making exuses, trying to get out of running!

    but i actually enjoyed running especially in the morning.

    I just came back from a 20 km skeeler ride, my feet are killing me. One thing skating does improve more than running is balance.
