this is straight from Juy Jeffrey, the only poster here who worships nigel benn as much as i do. when i was an am, i wanted to be nigel benn the way versy wants to be tython. the nige didn't do as much on the heavy bag as i would have thought, anyway, here it is:
He went through five different trainers. I know the routine he used when he was WBC champ...
"I'd start with loosening up and stretching exercises, then do three or four rounds shadow boxing with weights on the hands and one round with them off, then four or five more with pads - I loved pad work because I could let rip without breaking hands or heads and I'm a natural combination puncher.
"After that, I'd do some more shadow boxing, skipping and ground work and have a good loosening up.
"Weight-training would take place every other day and then, for a fortnight before the fight, I'd have a sparring partner for nine to ten rounds per day. Some days I'd take it down to six rounds. The art of the game is to peak on the night. I didn't worry about an off-day here or there. I'd just relax and come back again.
"I trained near Canary Islands and did my roadwork at about 10 in the morning. It offered a more temperate climate in winter and the opportunity for high-altitude running on Mount Teide.
"There is nothing more beautiful and fulfilling than running at an altitude of about 8,000 feet among snow-capped peaks in bright sunshine, well above the clouds. I can retreat into a world of my own, my own galaxy. Just me and my music and, later, the satisfaction that comes from physically punishing yourself.
"You can clear your mind of all anxieties and problems in that surrealistic 'moonscape' where they shot Planet of the Apes, and be at peace with the world. That's where I would get my 'high', others needed drugs.
"I'd run six to eight miles and then increase it to ten and even more. That's equivalent to running up to 15 miles at sea level. I built it up over camp and then came back down when sparring was brought into my gym sessions. The idea was to peak for the fight.
"Jimmy Tibbs knew how to get me buzzing. He and I both liked the pads and he always got the best out of me. He is very aggressive but knows what he is doing. He took a hell of a slamming from me every day, brainwashing me with his technique while I hammered away at him.
"Some people who had trained me in the past didn't really know what they were doing. Jimmy pushed me to my limit, which is important. We tried to cover every muscle of the body, even the neck. We put 100 per cent effort into training.
"The training is so intense that it is difficult to believe you're putting yourself through such a strenuous regime. Compared to that, the fight is easy. I never had wars in the gym in this time, I tried to slip into rythmic patterns and not get hit. I didn't put much into sparring, I just saved it for the fight.
"I was a far better fighter from the time I went to Italy to the time I fought McClellan than I ever was, would be or could be. You go through trial-and-error and I had everything nailed down to a tee."

The boxing book seems to focus on questions that are very basic in nature. The answers to each question don’t seem to deviate very much from one fighter to another. If I was to write a book I would like to get feedback from the coaches that organized the programs for the fighters. I bet they would be way more creative in telling you what they actually had to do in order to become a world champion. On the other hand, in a way, the information is kind of confidential because why would a coach want to give up his secrets that made him into a world champion coach?

I know. And I've been saying this in my head for quite a while now. The training regimen outlined in that book seemed very general. I think the coaches just dont disclose a lot of methods which they use to refine the skills/traits of the fighter, for the sake of protecting their own wallet.

mayorga drinks espresso [or coffee] during the workouts
joe c drinks tea
Enzo Calzaghe doesn't like his fighters skipping rope.
I guess it works for Joe's particular style of fighting.

joe skips on his own time after a workout. but enzo wont let his fighters skip during his workout because he says "its just a way to make you look like your working hard when it isnt hard work at all."

Anyone have Ray Robinsons workout? Or maybe some specific examples about what his workout was like? Thanks!
I wished Norton would have talked about his weightlifting. I dont think one can get a body like that without working out.

I own this book and am partial to it.
I am happy to accept it is as a brief sample of a fighters lifestyle (even though it's been criticized for fabrication). He basically wrote a book based on short chats with fighters so you can imagine how watered and scattered the info is.
One thing I couldn't believe is the softness of many workouts listed. I was in full training when I bought this and realized I was working a harder workout than many of these champs(minus the roadwork). This is surely a crock of shit book overall but good for a bit of knowledge. He provides a good routine builder in there aswell.

From Gary Todd's book, I assume. Apparently there's a volume 2 coming out soon - I'll be getting it as soon as I see it.
Yeah, great book! I grabbed it when it was new, now it's nearly fucking impossible to find!
Volume 2 should be interesting!

One thing that annoys me is the lack of inclusion of sparring.
Would be good to know how often, when, what role it plays in their training as obvious it is the most important thing of all in training.
