Why don’t boxers run like this anymore? Old school roadwork was different… Long distance runs in boots, mixing in running backwards, sideways. Changes in direction and shadow boxing. It wasn’t just about getting the miles in. Even the roadwork looked like boxing 🥊

They don’t train like this anymore because they have found better and more effective and efficient ways to train athletes. Training athletes has become a science. Those old school guys were definitely tuff as nails but they would not be able to handle a modern athlete. I have the most respect for those guys but athletes have completely evolved since then and so has the art of training athletes.

I’m sure some still do. The ones that don’t post every workout online

"its hard to get out of bed at 5am when you've been sleeping in silk pajamas" - Marvin Hagler

Because they don't want to look like an escaped mental patient?

Because its a hard grind and all these gym bros soft pancakes.

I still road run at 39 I love it but from a kid Ive done the same route half of it is on a railroad. lol. So that over and over my feet look like Flinstones.

Cause it's pretty useless, unnecessary and a little retarded. Also it's called running 🏃‍♀️. Roadwork is something different

This is literally the dumbest reply I’ve ever gotten. Well done 🤝

I bet the Kazakh lads still run like that at altitude 🥊

Because that wear and tear on your joints isn’t worth it anymore

Used to watch Harry Arroyo at mill creek park when he was poor and hungry.

Thats why they dont have the stamina to bang 15 no more hardly anyone runs

Because you want to maximize training. If you do a ton of roadwork, it can fuck your legs up leading to less work on other parts of your camp. You can easily do other forms of cardio that's better.

Because extensive roadwork is redundant and counterproductive. It’s one of the “old school” phases that never had much value.

Boxers are only interested in how they look now and their image. They wear those ridiculous fucking clothes and styles. They dont want to be seen out looking like boxers of old. Theyre not men anymore they are just spoiled children.

Idk fighters today aren't as hard as they used to be. More finely tuned and bigger etc for sure. But title fights from Ali, Joe Louis, Marciano etc they fought 15 rounds. Even more prior. When Jaco Johnson finally lost the title he was KOd in round 26!!! Just absolutely wild

I think Robinson used go for long walks and walk backwards for better balance.

Them jazz age endorphins were different.

because it's completely retarded and fucks up every single joint that you might need in your life to walk like a normal person. running shoes exist for good reasons

Terrence Crawford does. Check out The Manitou Incline. Bud would do that every Sunday since it was his........off day.

Because running long distance in boots deteriorates the body and enough examples and data has been collected over the years that reflect that. Did that method of training make for “better” fighters,possibly. But is it the better choice for the figter long term,no

Yall boys so stuck in the past 😂🤣

That's old school 😲😲 Come on man I'm not that old and i remember doing this as a kid

5 miles in the magic number. 5 miles is about 12 to back then (15) rounds of boxing. it was not how fast. it was putting in the time.

Lmfao pussy post tbh “old school roadwork was different” congrats bro ur a fag

Бегают.

Boot KILL knees, just ask Michael Spinks

Knowing plenty of boxing trainers and fighters myself, they still do

🥊🥊💯🇺🇸🇺🇸

Prolly cause they ain’t had treadmills back then😂

Boxers still run, but the boots were a huge mistake, they did long term damage to a lot of these guys.

Parceque les boxeurs travaillent plus efficacement aujourd'hui

Plus it looks dope AF.
