Why do boxers jog?

[Douglas Hall]

A lot of boxers do jogging. Why do you need to do jogging and what does it make you do. If your not fat do you still have to run and why?

He has a point. Jogging is definitely not the most effective conditioning method. I'm a boxer know for my conditioning and I never jog.

I don't think it's essential - specifically jogging, that is. Surely whatever form of cardio provides the require degree of conditioning, is.

I'd guess that over the years - like skipping - they are constants, that have never had to have some fashion or equipment development that other forms of cardio have introduced over the years.
