i don't really have any stories, but i recall somebody posting that some european fighters (kostya tszyu or vassiliy jirov or maybe even somebody else) wrestled with tigers. anyway, post your stories!
Paquiao's trainers beat him on the stomac with a stick to destroy nerve endings Hagler ran with army boots on
GTFO they didn't wrestle with tigers, that's a load crap. Anyways I know Roy Jones Sr. used to make Roy Jones Jr. do some crazy **** like train with a board full of nails above his head or some **** like that. They talked about it on Calzaghe/Jones 24/7
It's true. They wrestled with tigers. Some days they would swim with sharks while throwing 1-2's at the sharks nose. After that they would pratice jiu-jitsu on bears.
this is insane. is this just done for a macho sort of thing or was it more technical than that? p.s. which fighters were known for doing these sort of things?
ruiz actually DID wrestle a bear once in the woods to practice his jab and clutch technique. don king was so impressed with the bear's performance he shaved it and named him Nikolai Valuev. look how far he's come...
Oh yeah i read about this haye would bend over and adam booth would slam this up his back side in preperation for the wlad jab
