body building boxers

[Salty]

..why arent they boxers?, more mass you have = more force, CONSIDERING YOU KNOW HOW TO BOX.

If you take a hit, your muscles can absorb it rather than your bony ass ribs, thats why some boxers build muscle.

Im not saying its bad thing to build muscle i know all about building muscle mass, but boxers who want 22 inch biceps or anything to that extreme aren't boxers and aren't in the right sport. There punches would be so slow that you could go out for 5 mins and get a drink and comeback and still have time to avoid there punches. I do weights myself some Squats, Deadlifts, etc. But i wouldn't go to the extreme that i would want to look like the incredible hulk. Boxing is about having speed, heart, stamina, flexability, amongst a lot of other things, not how big your biceps are.

Well said, muscles can only take you so far in this game. Personally I love the way boxing makes me look, but I don't do boxing to have that 6 pack. I do boxing for boxing, whether that be punched in the face, spewing after a punchout drill or waking up and not being able to move the next morning. I think that's what differentiates a boxer and others, their desire for the sport and not the desire for admiration, a good body or fans.
