    he was eating laffy taffy on 24/7...

    :patsch :roll: :good

    that is completely pointless. it was so dumb how they took it so seriously in 24/7, and it was ironic because the thing that was supposedly ricky's 'toughes training' was just wailing away at a giant pillow. it is very anaerobic and taxing, but has much less crossover value than technical padwork and sparring.

    His training has produced very good results for him.

    like getting gassed against mayweather?

    that is a generalization. It doesn't change the fact that 15 rounds on a giant body bag is not exactly the best method of training - especially against a pure boxer.

    I am sure it is very hard; however, it is probably not the most relevant training. Just pounding away on a big pillow with no one punching back. Heavy bag work has its place.

    Proof that the body bag is not the best way to develop stamina is the fact that Hatton GASSED after just 7 rounds. PBF made him gas by making him miss. Real world boxing. Not just pounding on a big bag.

    I have also heard Hatton does not like roadwork. PBF and Calzaghe swear by 6 to 8 miles every day. Seems to work!

    the guy was saying it was useless,

    hatton trains the way he fights, he didn't lose to floyd because of the way he trained, he could train every possible way there is, floyd is just the more skilled fighter.

    Hasn't Hatton always trained with the bodybag and wasn't this his first loss? Like Relentless said he was beat by a more skilled opponent, he didn't lose because of how he trained.

    Agree he lost to PBF due to skill, but he also gassed. He has been gassing quite a bit as of late. See Collazo and Urango as recent examples. He should probably consider some other forms of stamina training.

    Not disagreeing with you although Roberto Duran did it his whole career and never had a stamina issue I'm kinda leaning towards genetic's and of course as you said the weight Fluctuations can't help

    It's okay, Relentless. Some of the guys in this thread have better records than Hatton. They have won over 40 pro fights and have only lost 1 against the best fighter on the planet. They have the right to so what they want about how effective Hattons training regime is.

    :patsch

    You miss the point. Whether we can fight as well as Hatton is not relevant. The question is can Hatton become better by adopting classic boxing training methods that seem to work?

    I don't know about 25 miles a day. More like 6 to 8. Regardless, the old school methods seem to work well, even today. See Calzaghe, Chavez and others. The basics never go out of style. Remember it is a fight not a weight lifting contest.

    I have always believed that running 5-10 miles per day is much better than 1-2 miles with "sprints" that is being implemented a lot today. Although the new school stlye of training can be beneficial, the old school method is the way to go. I have lifted and boxed before and my muscles werent as relaxed or flexible. I personally like the old school method better.
