Do Boxers lift weight?

ive seen this too, but its allways low weights high reps.

quite similar to what most boxers were doing on pulley machines nearly 100 years ago.

 

I'm sure that was pre-Oscar, so probably explains it.

 

Most boxers? Wow the pulley machine must have had great sales. What was the brand?

 

Lol.

 

the only boxer I've seen in person who trained like a real weight lifter was Hassim Rachman, that guy was insanely strong and lifted weights like a powerlifter on legs and upperbody at 24 hour fitness on trop and decatur. Floyd would just run upstairs on the treadmill and then go play basketball, he would never lift.

Ruiz, Winky Wright, Sam peters, Derrick Harmon, and all the guys who hang out at the Vegas boxing gyms to train for their camps sometimes just don't mess around with weights that way, they spar, hit the bag, run, do drills, do the climbing machines, etc. Roger Mayweather used to give out a list of things not to do as a beginning boxer and it included - traditional weight lifting.

The culture is still very old fashioned. Obviously we have seen JMM doing fast high rep endurance overhead weight presses on recent training programs, and ricky hatton leg pressing ridiculous amounts of weight, but most of the boxing culture in the vegas gyms simply doesn't allocate any kind of time to a traditional weight lifting program like football or even, I believe, wrestling would.
