Mayweather training routine similar to Calzaghe

[youngmonzon]

On ESPN Boxing there is a video link where Floyd describes his daily training routine.

10 rounds of sparring, 30 minutes on the pads, 30 minutes on the heavy bag, 200 situps, pullups & pushups, 30 minutes jumping rope and 5 to 7 miles of roadwork.

Interesting in that his routine is very similar to the routine Calzaghe describes in his book "No Ordinary Joe".

Both Calzaghe and Mayweather are always in great shape and never gas over the course of a fight.

Can fighters like learn from this?

It was disappointing to see Hatton so tired after the eight round.

It was disappointing t

[Relentless]

hatton wasn't tired, pbf just ktfo of him.

[Johnboy2007]

hatton wasn't tired, pbf just ktfo of him.

I dont agree i dont think it was a major factor but i reckon he was reasonably tired. Either that or it just showed cos mayweather didnt even break a sweat. Hattons always said that getting fat inbetween fights hasnt effected him so far cos he was undefeated maybe its time to take a closer look at that hatton mate lol. Theres gotta be something said for being in incredible fighting shape all year round i mean calzaghe and mayweather are well freaks in a way lol a good way lol:yep

u no mayweather is a big fan of weight traning right?

[Relentless]

u no mayweather is a big fan of weight traning right?

not really, roger mayweather doesn't like it, but the proffesional ass kisser leonard ellerbe has him do it.

[Primadonna Kool]

Floyd Mayweather does not use a bell when he is sparring.

"Sometimes he spar's 60mins straight"

[OZ Puncher]

I dont use a bell either, i just keep sparring till my coach says stop...

That being said tho its usually around 3 min.

[alpo1]

Anyone know what floyd's diet is like? I've read about how Oscar and Hatton ate before their fights with PBF but nothing about his own diet. I read in a interview that he eats chocolates and sweets even in the run up to a fight.

[OZ Puncher]

Thats a good idea chocolate is the fastest absorbed food. Sugar wise, instant energy.

There are a lot of factors that go into the final result of what we perceive as a fighter's fitness. In the lower weight divisions nearly all of them have to dry out to make weight. This is certainly causes fatigue and is a potentially dangerous practise especially if more than 10 percent of the natural body weight must be cut. It doesn't matter how much training a man has gone through, if he is feeling dehydration fatigue, it is going to affect his performance in the ring. I suspect that Hatton is starting to feel the effect of many years of the stress of fluctuating weight.

[boxingtactics07]

Hatton was lost and out of it round 9. He was just a sheep for Mayweather in the final round.

im sying that becuse monzon is tryiong to sy that if maywesther doesnt weight train why should he but mayweather does weight train

Floyd does very limited weight training. He does not mention it at all in the ESPN clip. Calzaghe states in his book that he never weight trains.

My point is that both these highly technical boxers focus more on traditional boxing training and have similar routines.

Based on how Hatton gassed, maybe he should consider traditional training, instead of that "bullshit body bag and weightlifting" (as Roger Mayweather puts it).

[Jennifer Love Hewitt]

One reason that Mayweather is so well conditioned is because he doesn't swing hard. His training is all for speed and stamina. Loading up on punches drains alot of energy. Mayweather doesn't do that, he doesn't fight hard; combined with the fact that he trains and stays in shape, it makes his conditioning very good.
James Toney is somewhat the same, except that Toney doesn't train or stay in shape, but he rarely gets tired because he is so relaxed in the ring.

you think going 15 round on the bodybag like ricky does is easy?

[Nwil]

he was eating laffy taffy on 24/7...

that is completely pointless. it was so dumb how they took it so seriously in 24/7, and it was ironic because the thing that was supposedly ricky's 'toughes training' was just wailing away at a giant pillow. it is very anaerobic and taxing, but has much less crossover value than technical padwork and sparring.

His training has produced very good results for him.

like getting gassed against mayweather?

that is a generalization. It doesn't change the fact that 15 rounds on a giant body bag is not exactly the best method of training - especially against a pure boxer.

[youngmonzon]

you think going 15 round on the bodybag like ricky does is easy?

I am sure it is very hard; however, it is probably not the most relevant training. Just pounding away on a big pillow with no one punching back. Heavy bag work has its place.

Proof that the body bag is not the best way to develop stamina is the fact that Hatton GASSED after just 7 rounds. PBF made him gas by making him miss. Real world boxing. Not just pounding on a big bag.

I have also heard Hatton does not like roadwork. PBF and Calzaghe swear by 6 to 8 miles every day. Seems to work!

the guy was saying it was useless,

hatton trains the way he fights, he didn't lose to floyd because of the way he trained, he could train every possible way there is, floyd is just the more skilled fighter.

Hasn't Hatton always trained with the bodybag and wasn't this his first loss? Like Relentless said he was beat by a more skilled opponent, he didn't lose because of how he trained.

Agree he lost to PBF due to skill, but he also gassed. He has been gassing quite a bit as of late. See Collazo and Urango as recent examples. He should probably consider some other forms of stamina training.

[4eyes]

Hatton's fitness issues are probably due to the fact that he balloons in weight in between fights

Not disagreeing with you although Roberto Duran did it his whole career and never had a stamina issue I'm kinda leaning towards genetic's and of course as you said the weight Fluctuations can't help

[benj4]

It's okay, Relentless. Some of the guys in this thread have better records than Hatton. They have won over 40 pro fights and have only lost 1 against the best fighter on the planet. They have the right to so what they want about how effective Hattons training regime is.

:patsch

You miss the point. Whether we can fight as well as Hatton is not relevant. The question is can Hatton become better by adopting classic boxing training methods that seem to work?

ur sooooooooo dumb. running 25 miles a day and doing 30 rounds on the heavy bag and 30 on the pads is just a waist of time

[youngmonzon]

I don't know about 25 miles a day. More like 6 to 8. Regardless, the old school methods seem to work well, even today. See Calzaghe, Chavez and others. The basics never go out of style. Remember it is a fight not a weight lifting contest.

[itliangladiator]

I have always believed that running 5-10 miles per day is much better than 1-2 miles with "sprints" that is being implemented a lot today. Although the new school stlye of training can be beneficial, the old school method is the way to go. I have lifted and boxed before and my muscles werent as relaxed or flexible. I personally like the old school method better.

Weightlifting has it's place if done correctly. You obviously didn't train correctly.

Sprints and long distance running work different energy systems, both of which are used in boxing. Neglecting to train either is a bad idea.

not a fan of sprints?

why not?

in a fight you dont go at one pace do you?

so...yu do need the basics. heavybag, speedbag, shadowboxing, etc. but weights are definetly important and sprints work better then 6-8 miles.
if you do 12-3 min sprints you could outlast anyone

[jones1]

watch mayweather delahoya 24/7 he lifted alot
i dont remember that...:huh

i agree sprints help conditioning alot. but the aerobic system doesnt even kick in until 20 minutes of steady work. so you would only be working on the anaerobic system and you need both for conditioning in boxing.

One loss and you question his training?

:patsch

[younghypnotiq]

i dont remember that...:huh

then i guess u didnt watch it. he didnt even use free weights most of the time he used machines

[jones1]

then i guess u didnt watch it. he didnt even use free weights most of the time he used machines
which episode was that? all i remember was him on a speed bag and a double end bag but mostly working the pads, and i remember they would turn off the cameras when he sparred but i dont remember any weights.

[younghypnotiq]

at one point he goes to the gymin the middle of the night and was lifting. one scen i rember was him benching on the bench machine

[youngmonzon]

You will also recall the during 24 / 7 how much time PBF spent doing roadwork. Watch the ESPN clip, he states he runs 6 - 8 miles daily. Does not do the sprints you advocate. Calzaghe also runs 6 miles daily. Calzaghe emphatically states in his book, no weights. In the recent 24 / 7 the only strength training they show PBF doing is pullups.

[MrSmall]

Long runs are good for various things but they just do my back in.

i have seen clips of mayweather bench pressing and dead lifting, i understand you being against weight training but whats wrong with sprints?

Because sprints are hard work.

[aramini]

if floyd lifts it is not very much at all. I always saw him at 24 hour fitness on Tropicana and Decatur, and I always wondered if I was physically stronger than him lifting wise. All he would do was run upstairs and then go play basketball, but Ellerbe was always there with Rahman and that guy is ridiculously strong in both the legs and chest.

His bench was reps and reps in the mid to high 400 range, but Floyd did NOTHING like that. I work out at a boxing gym too, but I am confident I lift with much, much more frequency than Floyd does, and it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't put up big numbers. He doesn't need to, and Hassim should have been working on his sparring instead of squatting that ridiculous amount of weight.

Ellerbe checked me out in the locker room once and I got a creepy feeling, but maybe he just thought my frame and muscularity looked close to Floyd's size, though I am much lighter.

[boxingtactics07]

I would have guessed that too. You seem about 5'6 and 140LBs, but you look ridiculously strong for your weight.

[WHU]

Calzaghe doesnt skip in trainin was put off it as a kid. Old school new school i dont think it matters, jus get in shape thats all dat matters.good technique and brains wil always beat fitness and strength

[aramini]

I would have guessed that too. You seem about 5'6 and 140LBs, but you look ridiculously strong for your weight.

I'm 5'8'', 128-131, but I do look big for the weight. Floyd walked by and asked me how much I weighed once, and seemed a little surprised when I told him. He said, "mighty big for 128." the older I get the more I think my skeletal condition, osteopoikylosis, may have influenced that size to weight ratio. My dad had it too and in his 40s had 17 inch arms at a body weight of 145 and a height of 5'7''.

[shrubbah]

:verysad
mayweather is my favorite fighter hes the best fighter in the world...
after the castillo fight and he won ... merchant asked him if his hand was fucked up.... floyd said that his old trainer fucked up his shoulder weightlifting.... i dont think floyd is a huge fan of weightlifting
more traditonal shit
