I highly doubt it. You want a strong core for boxing as well as other parts. DOing weight training should help you overall.

I do muay thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu so I need to have very good cardio, as a boxer you also you need very good cardio because you are constantly moving and throwing punches round after round. |

Most boxers these days do some type of training with weights. Go for it, it will help you but just remember that most bodybuilding type routines won't help you and could even hurt your boxing. Check out Ross training for more info on training for boxers and MMA fighters.

Weight training is great if you box, if you have more fat then muscle when you get hit the shock will fluctuate through out your body causing a more intense injury. But keep in-mind, not alot of people can handle too much muscle. If you've ever watched a someone at your gym maybe about 240lb fight, you'll notice he probably hits slower because of his muscle mass. Some people can handle fighting with a large mass, some people can't. edit: here's a link that might be helpful to fully answer your question. |

If you're going to "weight train", then you should do it correctly. That means adding minimal, if any, amounts of fat while gaining muscle. If you look at Mike Tyson during his peak (as well as Roy Jones Jr) you will notice that both of them have pretty defined abs and X-type lats. Why? abs will really help the movement of your core, which should strengthen your punch. Lats I guess (not sure) are good for blocking the side punches so they don't hit the bone. Boxing is a skill that can be refined, but some are just naturally good at fighting while others just naturally suck. You're born with it. |

dude I wasn't saying it's not good to have muscle because it is. All I was saying is if your muscle mass is too high most people will obviously hit slower. I was looking at another thread named "Bruce Lee" and someone mentioned saying how, Bruce Lee gained about 20lb in muscle, then because he had that muscle it made his reflexes slower so he stopped working out. So if you're gonna weight lift while boxing then use medium to light weights. The rest of the muscle will come naturally from training at boxing. |

Well, whatever he is. He's a bad-ass, whatever you think. |

I'm looking at the current heavyweight champion, I'm.....guessing he does weight training. he use to be a cruiser-weight champion but he obviously put on some weight. but i guess it all depends more er less on the style you prefer, fast hitter or heavy hitter. Hayes has both but isn't as fast as a normal IBF light-weight. |

Weight training is just fine but do it right - do not follow the 2 seconds up, 2 seconds down process. For these sports your 'up' / positive part of your rep should be done as explosively and quickly as is safe, your 'down' / negative cycle can be done slowly. Your cardio ideally wants to be as 'burst' based as possible, interval training be it jogging then sprinting for 30 seconds, whichever. It's all about burst and recovery. I do a sport entirely dependent on fast-twitch and muscular endurance. Most of my workout is stability, plyometrics, balance and cardio with weights only being 25% of it - that is how I do my reps, as instructed by a personal trainer. I actually spend more time doing plyometrics and bodyweight exercises with a couple of boxes than on the weights I do approximately 10 reps and 3 - 5 sets, as much weight as can be used ensuring good form throughout, as quickly as I can up / out, slowly down / in. Obviously that method won't be suitable for some exercises - safety first |

Actually today my boxing trainer said it was okay, but it should be the "explosive" kind. His reasoning was that it would mainly slow you down.
