Re: Fat Boxer's training I just went to the local King of the Ring (Toughman) Competition, and I know its amateurs only, but good lord. There was this heavyweight kid, he was maybe 5'10", and about 290 lbs. But jesus that kid could box. He had some of the fastest hands I had ever seen in a heavyweight, and was pretty light on his feet, considering his size. He threw a great punch, had pretty good defense (body defense was bleh), precision accuracy. He toasted the first guy (I think a KO), but lost in the second round, mainly due to the difference in the volume of punches thrown. He threw much fewer punches (he fought as a counter puncher, which can suck when its only 3 one-minute rounds...hard to get points), and definately landed less, but I think the quality and overall effect of his punches was a lot more than his opponents. Anyways, I guess it all boils down to wanting it, no matter what size you are. That kid could definately lose 100 lbs and be a HUGE force in the local circuit.
