On ESPN Boxing there is a video link where Floyd describes his daily training routine. 10 rounds of sparring, 30 minutes on the pads, 30 minutes on the heavy bag, 200 situps, pullups & pushups, 30 minutes jumping rope and 5 to 7 miles of roadwork. Interesting in that his routine is very similar to the routine Calzaghe describes in his book "No Ordinary Joe". Both Calzaghe and Mayweather are always in great shape and never gas over the course of a fight. Can fighters like learn from this? It was disappointing to see Hatton so tired after the eight round. It was disappointing t
I dont agree i dont think it was a major factor but i reckon he was reasonably tired. Either that or it just showed cos mayweather didnt even break a sweat. Hattons always said that getting fat inbetween fights hasnt effected him so far cos he was undefeated maybe its time to take a closer look at that hatton mate lol. Theres gotta be something said for being in incredible fighting shape all year round i mean calzaghe and mayweather are well freaks in a way lol a good way lol:yep
not really, roger mayweather doesn't like it, but the proffesional ass kisser leonard ellerbe has him do it.
I dont use a bell either, i just keep sparring till my coach says stop... That being said tho its usually around 3 min.
Anyone know what floyd's diet is like? I've read about how Oscar and Hatton ate before their fights with PBF but nothing about his own diet. I read in a interview that he eats chocolates and sweets even in the run up to a fight.
There are a lot of factors that go into the final result of what we perceive as a fighter's fitness. In the lower weight divisions nearly all of them have to dry out to make weight. This is certainly causes fatigue and is a potentially dangerous practise especially if more than 10 percent of the natural body weight must be cut. It doesn't matter how much training a man has gone through, if he is feeling dehydration fatigue, it is going to affect his performance in the ring. I suspect that Hatton is starting to feel the effect of many years of the stress of fluctuating weight.
im sying that becuse monzon is tryiong to sy that if maywesther doesnt weight train why should he but mayweather does weight train
Floyd does very limited weight training. He does not mention it at all in the ESPN clip. Calzaghe states in his book that he never weight trains. My point is that both these highly technical boxers focus more on traditional boxing training and have similar routines. Based on how Hatton gassed, maybe he should consider traditional training, instead of that "bull**** body bag and weightlifting" (as Roger Mayweather puts it).
One reason that Mayweather is so well conditioned is because he doesn't swing hard. His training is all for speed and stamina. Loading up on punches drains alot of energy. Mayweather doesn't do that, he doesn't fight hard; combined with the fact that he trains and stays in shape, it makes his conditioning very good. James Toney is somewhat the same, except that Toney doesn't train or stay in shape, but he rarely gets tired because he is so relaxed in the ring.
