which fighters physique or build would you want?

Ok mr small,yours is a post with good points and one i respect.
I think you are correct in that some champs are soo talented and iron willed that most nearly any training regime could be used.
Im also glad you said Possibly/maybe because that is my MAIN point and always has been. Weights/old school may possibly benefit some but not all. Some folks get too bulky with weights or slow down,some do fine and may even improve,some guys do great on three meals and some do great on five. My point is that there is no single training method or eating regimen which can universally be considered best,the individual and how it affects him is key.
Eating multiple meals can overload some peoples body chemistry,can cause high blood glucose,high insulin and a lowering of growth hormone. But some folks may be unaffected by this,and so its all good for them to have multiple meals.
You can take the complicated version and find that certain bio chemical
pathways can be affected by weights and multiple meals,or you can take the practical route and try to see if it works for your metabolism.

Finally,i take great exception to guys claiming all boxers can improve their conditioning or metabolism by weights or 5/6 meals a day,yes some can benefit but not all will. I have tried many different routines over the years and for boxing weights and more than four meals doesnt help me. With football and similar sports there are different requirements,no real making weight and less emphasis on power/weight ratio.

 

a great athlete comes through correct traning and plenty of nutrition
a great boxer comes through correct boxing skills and plenty of talent
but if u mix them together you cant go wrong

 

Eating more frequently, smaller meals through the course of the day, provides a constant stream of different nutrients to your body so it never begins to catabolize (I believe that's the term) your muscles and body. It also increases metabolism. For most people, this is the recommended plan for gaining mass and burning some fat. But for the exceptions, such as myself, it doesn't work, as I have an extremely high metabolism and don't need it increased anymore. For people like me, the normal large 3 meals a day (very large) coupled with snacks in between is what's recommended, as it won't cause a huge increase in metabolism from what I understand. It's worked well for me, anyway. It's different for each individual.

 

Yeah, but you're a freak of nature who suffers from Makarenko syndrome (but not his skill), and weighs about as much as my left bicep (or more like my right man boob now that I'm taking a short break from boxing).

 

Hey! I move about as well as Makarenko! At least when he fought Andre Ward.

 

Insulin is only wrong if you're not burning fuel, otherwise it does what it's supposed to do. For ****s sake we're not a bunch of fat McDonald's employees, who cares about insulin spikes.

 

:yep

 

:blood

But when he thought Andre Ward he managed to mess up what was meant to be his triumph. He was head and shoulders above everyone favourite for those olympics, and he didn't medal which is a shame because he only went down from there. He's multiple world and European champion, and the olympics is all that he's missing from greatness.

I actually like my body as it is but I wanna be like Shane Mosley when im 36 he trains in Big Bear and doesnt gas,is always looking for ways to better his nutrition and hes a gym rat. I just wanna be like those guys Mosley,Randy Couture or RJJ or Hopkins who dont have any real bad habbits and can maintain there physique year round.

 

david haye always looks in brilliant shape, or jermain taylor.

 

You call that scary?

 

Valuev! But I'd have to do some crazy cardio to cut out those huge love handles.
