    Good read.

    Too bad Don Turner and none of the classic forum posters were around to tell Shields and his fighters that padwork is a waste of time.


    “The first guy I worked with was Evander Holyfield and he loved it. He said, ‘You should be doing this, I love the way you do pads,'” said the venerable boxer-turned-trainer. “Then I started doing the pads with Rocky Lockridge, Meldrick Taylor, Tyrell Biggs, Livingstone Bramble ÔǪ I enjoyed it, it was really fun for me.”
