but its not opinion, getting hit repeated by something your nervous system cant endure leads you to have concussions and lose brain tissues, leading to mental health problems in the future. take roy jones for example, as an amateur and pro he sparred with some of the biggest punchers ever, mike mccallum, gerald mcllelan, julian jackson to name a few, those guys have put heavyweights to sleep in sparring, what happened to roy now? nazim richardson put it nicely - the human body isn't designed to get hit, it wasn't made for boxing but the best we can do is condition ourselves to the best possible way and try take as less damage as possible.
Tougher sparring doesn't mean letting ppl repeatedly hit you with bombs. If you had a group of boxers who spar lightly and an equivalent group of ppl who do regular hard sparring. Which group will have the higher percentage of boxers doing chicken dances from a jab? I know which group I would put my money on...
not the point this is what you originally said khans been sparring his entire life, so has lennox lewis, so has david haye, why isn't their chin improving? why are we all of a sudden discussing boxer who spar lightly? have you boxed before? theres no such thing as light sparring in competitive boxing especially the professional ranks, who spars lightly? but if you want to talk about that how about joe calzaghe who towards the end of his career stopped sparring? again boxers spar all their life sparring IS boxing, you spar to learn, why did tommy hearns have a bad chin when he trained in a gym full of dynamite punchers? in sparring you're supposed to practice what you're going to do in a fight, how does that build a better punch resistance?
it's more or less the same thing:huh I can take a group of ppl who don't spar at all with people who do heavy sparring. The result would still be the same when it comes to who can take punches
did you read my post? name me the professional fighter who does not fight to train? which boxer does not spar hard? explain to me how tommy hearns had a bad chin when he sparred the likes of hilmer kenty, mike mccalum, julian jackson, gerald mclellan. what you're saying is equivalent to someone saying "who kicks the ball further, the guy who practices kicking balls or the guy who doens't?"
did you not read my post? Some boxers don't spar hard, some boxers only do body sparring Would Hearn's chin be worse or better if he just sparred feather fisted fighters instead of sparring McClellan, Jackson etc?
which boxers spar easy? sparring as as part of boxing as kicking a ball is part of football. you're arguing with common sense here.
Khan was sparring with featherfisted opponents in preparation for the Prescott fight how about answering my question with common sense?
Izmat I think you have read something somewhere along the line that a boxer or trainer has said about sparring and misunderstood.
your right but the subject of the conversation is sparring and its benefit if any in dealing with taking shots, the debate isn't about shots your nervous system can't handle... and possibly more to the point we're getting side tracked from mccloseky-khan... macklin being taken off the bill is a kick in the nuts...
