Fed by media fascination with super heavyweights like George Foreman, the perception of boxers as oversized guys with oversized muscles is simply wrong. For every weight class, strength must be carefully balanced with the ideal physique. In truth, boxer training produces a body perfectly balanced for strength, shape, speed, and stamina. The author traveled the world talking to top boxers about how they train for peak performance. Their workouts will help reshape the reader's body, and the short bios and quotes from legendary favorites will inspire readers to take their workout to the next level. This one-of-a-kind approach to the world of boxing offers readers proven tips on balancing their own physique. Want to build more strength? Follow the workout of heavyweights like Ali. Need to slim down but don't want to lose muscle? Try the program of middleweight Fernando Vargas. Want to go all out for the ultimate physical fitness? Then try to keep up with the training of pound-for-pound legend Roy Jones Jr.

this book is the best book on boxing i have read. i was so excited when i got the book, and i couldnt put it down. the author travelled to meet and train with some of the biggest names of the sport of boxing, and document what they did in the gym. you can tell that the author has walked the walk and talked the talk. the photos are fantastic and the book also gives the reader, a typical day in the life of the champion, while he was training for their big fights. this unique fly on the wall look at boxings world champions is the best i have seen. the real deal.
