Compliment

Boxers should always be fit and in conditionbut being in the same gym all the time can be boring. So lets get a sport what we can do which compliments Boxing. What would it be and why would it compliment Boxing

I dont know that there is one other sport that keeps you in shape like boxing. I think a mix of sports would be better. Something along with basketball (I think basketball gives a good overall workout because of the constant movement).

my brother suggested inline skating .....he says it will help your legs deliver heavier punches

Heres one, Rock Climbing It teaches Discipline balance strengh endurance, makes you think under pressure gives you strong hands. Your arobic and anorobic threshhold increases and you are stretching muscle most of the time. plus its the best exercise for burning calories

Golf... good for generating power from the hips... :P Dancing... footwork and timing ;)

I live in canada and play a lot of Basketball. I'm new to boxing but I can see big comparisons in footwork, handspeed and stamina.

Ive had 2 fighters who played nationly at basket ball both were good fighters

ROy Jones is a prime example, wasnt he or is very good at basketball

Ping pong helps with hand eye coordination too.

Taking the piss out of doormen is a good for a run.

Nutter both of you.

Mountain biking. Really halps your wind and legs. Just don't crash like I did the first time out.

Talking about doormen my mates used to fill up supersoakers with different colored food dye and would park right out the front of club doors.
The bouncers would swagger out and say "NO NO you cant park there"!!! and they'd say "Yeah mate we know, and would just paint them from head to foot.
