    Why would I NOT want to gain muscle? I can only think of benefits.

    Well yeah, I know muscle weighs more than fat, but I'd want to lose more fat than I gain muscle, so overall, I'd lose weight :good

    But REALLY excited to start boxing, I KNOW that I will be doing it for a very long time!

    Not all skinny guys are weak... Punching power comes from technique
    [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv9kYwXFbMU[/ame]


    Being skinny doesn't mean you can't be powerful, again.

    So you're some hit football player, yet you don't have good conditioning? And also, your conditioning will come with training, what makes you think you can keep up with the bigger guys?

    Just **** off, losing muscle isn't necessarily a bad thing.

    It will put you in a higher weight class against taller and harder hitting people, there's two. Not to mention the fact that gaining muscle isn't the same as gaining strength.

    You say that, wait till you get your nose broken from trying your pathetic attempt at a philly shell :lol:

    You can pick apart everything I said all you want, and talk all the crap you want, but I'm gonna go in there with the best of intentions and work my ass off. I know it'll be tough, and I never said I was any good at either football or boxing, but ***gots like you who think you're so much better motivate me.

    All your **** talking does is make me want to go out and work even harder next time in the gym. I know you think it'll probably emotionally scar me or some bull**** like that, but again, it just makes me want to succeed even more.

    Keep the hate coming :thumbsup

    I'm not. I'm not saying I'm a good boxer and I can go in there and spar and fight and stuff, as I know that's not true, I'm simply saying that I know that I will get hit, and that won't be enough to make me quit.

    I definitely understand what people are trying to say, but I'm not trying to say I can go in and be a good boxer right away, I'm simply saying that I will work my ass off to try and become a good boxer, and that I won't quit (those two are certain).

    No...what's your point? What, you think because I've never been hit, that means that I'll quit the first time I do? What, do you think I wanted to do boxing, but never expected to get hit? Obviously not.

    I'm not trying to be cocky, but I just WON'T quit. It's not that I THINK I won't, I WON'T, I just don't quit, quitting is for losers.

    Say what you want, but I feel like not being a quitter is a pretty good trait to have.

    Most people who start boxing, expect to get hit. But if you don't know how it feels, you can't say how you are going to react.

    Maybe you will think different after half a year of ass whuppings? Maybe you'll just love the sport even more?

    It is indeed a good trait :thumbsup

    Oh and good luck, keep us updated :thumbsup

    Will do. And believe me, I obviously do get what you're saying, but no matter how much it hurts, I know that it'll get easier each time I spar, so I just have to push through the pain.

    But yeah, in the words of Bart Scott, "CAN'T WAIT!"

    You come off as a right bellend well. Maybe you won't quit but either way, just shut up about it. You've never boxed, sparred or even trained so until you do just pipe down about things like that. No one thinks you are tough.

    Its good that you are clearly dedicated and it's good that you are starting boxing but all this talking about weight classes, taking punches etc. is just stupid at this point.

    I'm not trying to act tough, all I'm saying is that I won't quit, which is a true statement.

    I don't think I said anything that should offend anyone or make anyone mad, I'm not going in with an ego or cocky, if anything, I know I'm going in there humbled.
