Boxers tha don't jump rope

Hatton definitely does, can't speak for the rest though.

 

**** a jump rope chase a ****in chicken

 

Wlad Klitschko does jump rope, same as Arthur Abraham...

 

I think they all do, jumping rope is one of the most importand things for a boxer

 

I have seen Hatton jump rope .. and i can tell you from being in the gym with him that Wladimir jumps rope for hours... I don't actually know many fighters amateur or pro that dont......

 

:shock:

 

Klitschko don't need to jump rope.

They just have piggyback races!

I've watched James Toney train for years -- even when weight wasn't an issue -- and he never did anything but spar a million rounds (with any living creature) and hit a peanut bag the size of a thimble.

 

A lot of fighters favour Hop-scotch over skipping nowadays.

 

Jumping the rope is an overall body training and should make for feet coordination so that you fight well on your toes. The heavyweights can have some trouble jumping the rope for full clock periods in the gym but that doesn't tell much about their footwork cause they can always practise on the ring, sparring. I truly believe that jumping the rope should be done for longer periods and not on the basis of showing off ( with tricks and stuff) but to make your whole body strain, forearms, shoulders, twin muscles, ankles, but even so, there's no proper substitute for running - you should jump the rope in the gym but you oughta run as many miles as possible to test stamina, or else, you're done!

 

Looks like Vitali's back is injury free in this picture.

 

What did "Two Ton Tony" do other than drinking beer to prepare for fight?

 

If you've never seen the europeans jump rope, is that because they don't jump rope or is it because you don't pay attention to waht they do as much as american fighters?

 

He got "broke back" because of Wlad...Wlad blew his back out and now he can't fight...
