How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
Every good fighter analyzes... His opponents, himself, everything. Obviously theres a massive amount of diverse information and opinions on this forum, and if one were to continually pay attention to the things that are mentioned on this site - how much better off would you be professionally speaking? Could it be a huge advantage? Slight advantage? Or would listening to drunken bastards like Wacko get ya killed inside the ring!
Is there nothing you can say on here that a professional won't know himself, or that a trainer can't point out?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does this forum aid a pro boxer?
Re: How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
Some fighters have flaws that they don't notice because they are so used to their boxing style.
So we can see it from a different perspective. And if a boxer knew his flaws, they wouldn't be knocked out :)

Look up posts by greynotsoold. He is so intelligent when it comes to training and strategy. I have brought a lot of what he had shared with the forum into my own fight game.
Re: How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
I think the only way you can really improve is with a good trainer who knows how you fight,your strenths and your weeknesses.
And a load of hard graft.
Saying that you may be able to pick up a few tips hear and there on this site regards diffrent training methods but its up to you to find what suits you.
Be warned though,some on this site dont know the difference between a left hook and a fishing hook and apart from watching it on tv have had fuck all to do with boxing.

Thats not true...a knockout can happen even if you are text book perfect........
Re: How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
Theres more chance of it happening if your not, thats for sure
Re: How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
Fixed minds or fixed attitudes are what makes for average fighters.
So to expand your horizons you have to do so in your mind first before it becomes manifested into your physical life.
Champions are thinkers ,belivers,do 'ers in that order over and over like a circle between the three evolving into their own creation.
The others are belivers,do'ers.
One is shown what to know, and does it like a soldier.
The other is shown the ways but researches his own paths and those that cross his.
Your really blessed if you get either of the above with a big heart though,you cant learn that.

I always enjoy reading the fathomless wisdom in Andre's posts.
Re: How helpful is this forum to a man who is trying to box professionally..
Dunno if this is an old revived thread or not, but I'll throw in my opinion.
The forum is as useful as anything else.
A student can have all the books, the tuition and encouragement he wants, but it won't make him learn.
In boxing a fighter can have the best trainer, the best equipment and the best forum of opinions but it may be very little help if he doesn't use them correctly.
This forum can be highly beneficial in learning training methods, techniques, nutrition and even self management but only if you ask the right questions and select the correct answers.
