It seems to work all right for Sam Peter, James Toney, Shannon Briggs, Sergei Lyacovich, and Sutan Ibrigamov. In today's heavyweight division, training is alomst cheating.
:rofl I think he trains so hard so he can win impressively. Obviously he stayed in great shape even while he was retired.
LOL Good point. I guess if he were to stop training, he'd no longer risk being injured during training, and would still be about as well prepared as many other heavies. But I doubt he'd ever come into a fight unless he's ultra prepared. He believes in being 100% ready and fully trained. But lately, that seems to be working against him.
Well, I overstated for humorous effect, but there is a serious point. With his size. talent and experience, all he really has to do is light sparring, and maybe get a ski machine (very easy on the body) and its all been done. There just is no reason for him to be intensively training.
