Floyd lifting weights with his head - pics in article

Yes.

He has done this various times in the past, as has guys like Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins.

 

Most boxers do this...if you follow Amir Khan on snapchat he was doing this yesterday. Clearly wary of a repeat of the Garcia neck shot

 

Briggs does that ****, too.

 

I see guys in the gym doing this some times. Strengthens the neck muscles afaik.

 

Will improve your punch resistance as it will help stop your neck snapping back when hit.

 

You need to work the neck in all planes/angles though, no just back and forth.

That causes imbalances and potential problems.

 

It isn't the first time he does it either.

 

you neck is a "shock absorber" for punches. after real long sparring sessions or fights you will find your neck is sore as **** for like a week

 

newbie

 

Mayweather got that from Nigel Benn. And Manny got his NO FEAR from Benn!

 

Floyd used to do this years ago with Ellerbe's you-know-what right below him.

 

he's done this most camps to strenghen neck muscles.....infact i don't think I've not seen him do it

 

:rofl

 

Mr ggg does this too
