I have a question that I have asked a few boxing trainers but always seem to get different answers. In your opinion do you think being Heavyhanded is something your born with or is it something can attain from many years of practice in the gym? If you could give me some tips or workouts I could do to better my punching power I would greatly apprieciate it. Thanks for answering my question from before also.
Box..well, guys like Jackason, McClellan, Bob Foster, Echols etc..I belieev they are born with that power for the most part. Guys that dont even box can hitu and u feel sheer POWER in their punches. But technique proper is the way to go. Take a guy with natural power and give him awesome mechanic and technique (Mcclellan had that, for example) and WATCH OUT!!
Yeah thats true, Julian Jackson had to be one of the most devastating punchers I seen in at 154, I would give anything to have punching power like that. Who had the most power you felt in the ring?
Rarely do you see a guy like Julian Jackson who literally one-punched so many good fighters. OUT, u know? Tommy Hearns was up there, too. And Bob Foster. But Julian was special
Do you feel UFC will be bigger than boxing anytime soon, I really feel concerned about the sports state it seems every channel on tv has some type MMA **** on.
I don't know if it can actually "overcome" boxing.... but it has and will contiue to sway many fans. I just think die hard boxing fans will stay as boxing fans because in reality the two sports are SO different.

In your opinion ICE does boxing give you great edge in a street fight, I have been in my fair share and it seems my first two punches are quite effective but it seems if they could take my first couple clean shots my boxing ability goes out the window. Has boxing gave you the upper hand in street fights?
Yeah I guess Zab Judah would know more about that, So did ever meet Mike Tyson or any other Great heavywieghts?
So far... I have met Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Norton, Tyson, Berbick, Holmes, Cooney, Thad Spencer, Chuvalo, Patterson, Lewis, Bowe, Moorer, and quite a few others actually come to tihnk of it
So do you think Tyson acted like an animal with alot of rage just to sell tickets, or do you think thats the real Mike Tyson?
I think it is a very complex question.... he has had the life of 20 men, u know? I met him a few times..and I think THIS is more the real him than anything else to be honest.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOHZTWXoTrU and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOw0R5aoswE
True, I feel there are many sides of mike alot of people will never see. Did you work on any trap exercises when training for a fight and if so, do you know any I could do to widden my traps so I could help to absorb a punch better in the ring.
My BEST reccomendation with stuff like that is to conact my boy Ross at www.rosstraining.com AWESOME stuff on there for everything to dow ith working out, traps included
