If you were a professional boxer...

G and his clown shoes left hook? ...Stop with the comedy.

 

I would like to be in 168, if i was pro today! But doubt i could make that weight.. LHW or CW for me i`m afraid

 

:think.................I would make you and WInona Ryder a pickem fight

 

Why would I even contemplate throwing leather at her radiant, beautiful face? She can **** me up, I don't care.

 

when i was like 20, mostly likely i would've ended up fighting at middle-super middle. i was 165lbs back then. i stand 5'11 1/2...

 

Cruiserweight. I'm 200lbs, couldn't drop to LHW without losing muscle, and wouldn't be willing to move to HW. I'd stick to a career at CW

 

I would be a Featherweight. I'm 5'8...weigh 60kg now, but when I was boxing...I would cut down to 57kg.

 

Probably between 160-175

 

jr. featherweight was my division when i fought amateurs and was a lot younger right now i fight for the army in the middleweight division but i just do it for fun and to stay in shape.. honestly im too heavy and slow.. if it wasnt for the fact that most boxers in the army dont know how to fight i wouldve been retired already.

:hat

 

heavies. i boxed amateurs and did real well but i decided to travel instead.

 

lol at all these guys in around 6 feet or so sayin they would be CW or LHW or even SMW


do you know how fit you have to be to be a pro boxer? running 3-6 miles every day alone would cut weight like hell off most normal people. with a proper diet there would be no question about it. guys like kessler, dirrell and bute will end up being like well built 14 stone dudes because they have trimmed so much natural weight off themselves in the legs and core. its a whole lotta bull**** ego on here lol. im 6' and walking about 13 stone right now with not a whole lotta fat on me but im sure that if i was training full time i could make 154 with a different day weigh in

 

I agree, when i started boxing i weighed around 140 pounds and i thought i was in great shape cause i played baskeball and baseball.. but when i started boxing without without dieting and just training hard i when down to 126 and with some diet i made 119 easily... training for boxing is whole different ball game than training for any other sport.. running five miles every morning and then going to the gym to spar, hit the bag, jump rope, and all the other **** will make you sweat and lose a lot of pounds

:hat

 

you have to be damn fit in the amateurs if you want to progress and it was my obsession for about two years and a half - pushing myself and seeing how much i could test myself mentally.

don't confuse staying sharp and in shape with gaining muscle.

i was ripped when i came in to fight because i loved training but my weight didn't really fluctuate when i was toned..not really.

the big difference when you're completely zoned into your training and at your peak is that you feel light as a feather when you're in shape and you KNOW you're in great shape.

mentally, it's the greatest drug you can ever have - and i clearly remember peaking just before a fight and not feeling tired when i worked out. it was just adrenaline and ego and i never got tired.

that's the mentality trainers are aiming for at the end of a camp.

 

thats pretty cool, i know what you mean. ive done a couple sports to a pretty high level and the buzz from being in top shape is unreal. i may have a go at having a few am fights cos its just something iv always wanted to do. i did it in university and got into good shape and was about month or so away from fighting then i tore one of my abductors and it set me back about 12 months.

 

exactly.
the hardest thing with any training isn't the training itself - it's breaking that mental barrier down that tells you it's all ****ing easy - and it is once it's in your system.

but it takes a solid month at least before you can conquer that.
it's important to remember that ONCE you've done it, you never forget how easy it is once you cross that barrier between work and enjoyment.

because it's never work once it's truly in your system.
