You see that guy with the pads? That's Charlie Goldman, he was in his 60's when he trained Marciano. I believe that he's the inventor of the punching pads. As you can see Charlie's pads have less padding as today's and look look more like oven mitts than anything else. If you could see inside of those gloves of Charlie's, you'd find a pair of gnarly hands that have seen more than their fair share of fights.

So if old Charlie could do it, don't you think that you can too?

Chris I believe the Russians came up with the cocept of Pads in the 30s, turning the gloves round on there Hands, then adapted the idea. Anyway thats the story from people of old who told me. As you know there are different techniques how to use the pads, looking at the photo I dont think Charlie held them firm which makes the wear and tear exceptable plus He was a little fella so it would be hard for Him. Bet his elbows were F888ed.

Yes i think featherweigths are ideal!

65 is not really that old - you must know a lot of crazies who do insane things at all ages in your line of work!

What advice would you give yourself Scrap?

I find it easier to give other people advice than to take my own - perhaps made uncertain by thinking over too much why I should or should not do things until I really have no idea!

Perhaps you could make yourself a moderated plan - never do it on consecutive days and make sure you supplement with glucosamine etc.

Do you think your frighters need pad work every day anyway?
