this is not true. i'll tell you why. 5yrs ago i was 21 yrs old and feeling pretty bad ass. bounced around the bar scenes for a while,got in some fights and always kicked the other guys ass. ive been raised watching boxing since i was 5 and know how to throw a good punch. ive also been clocked a few times in the jaw and always won the fight after that. sooooo....... thinking i had the puch and chin of a fighter i entered a local boxing tourny. its was basically a toughman thing, you fought three 2 minute rounds. i figured this was gonna be some real fun. im 5/9 210lbs. so i go with my buddy (who was also supposed to sign up to fight but he bitched out when we got there) and sign in. about a half hour later i hear im fighting a 38yr school teacher. my fight was down the list so i had alot of time to kill which i did by having a cheeseburger and 3 heinekens, and about 5 ciggarettes. so to make a already too long story shorter before the bell for rd 3 i could breath to the point of my lungs felt like they where on fire! the 38yr old school teacher worked out 5 times a week and was in great shape.
so after that i knew i might be able to kick ass at a bar for 30 seconds but even two minute rds where too much for me. conditioning is the most important aspect if you want to be a seriouse contender. i might have the puch and maybe the chin but if you cant breath you cant win!
