Greatest Ever Boxing Workouts Paperback – June 1, 2013

This book has some good insights into fighters. It has slightly different workout information than what I've read on the internet as well. For example in this book it says Tyson did 400 push ups and 400 squats throughout his training but I've never read that online before. And for example, Mayweather jr. says he slept 11 hours a day haha.

This is an awesome book! I though that it would have the work outs of the boxers but it is much more. It detail the fighters, tells about a typical day and then goes into their workouts. It's really cool to see their stories.

I have been an enthusiastic fan (both as a spectator and an active participant) of numerous combat sports (Boxing, Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts, and Wrestling) and martial arts (Judo, Jujitsu, Karate-Do, Kenjutsu, and Tanto-Jutsu) for more than 55 years. I am always interested in different fitness routines and I loved the first book (Workouts from Boxing’s greatest Champs by Gary Todd) and I am happy to see he also wrote this follow up (Greatest ever boxing workouts by Gary Todd) volume.This 184 page soft cover book follows the same format as the first volume. I have to admit that I was not familiar with many of the boxers because some of them fought mostly in other countries; nevertheless, I found this book interesting and informative. The book gives a short bio of the author which also includes the country he is from, date of birth, how many wins and losses and titles he won. It than has a short question and answer section along with the actual workout routine of the boxer. I found it interesting that many boxers had other hobbies they liked such as Golf and swimming etc.Some of the boxers in this volume includes: Anthony “The Man” Mundine, Antonio “Magic Man” Tarver, Danny “The Green Machine” Green, Curtis Cokes, “Gentleman” Jim Watt, “Irish” John Duddy, “Iron” Mike Tyson, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, “Irish” Micky Ward, Roberto “Hands of stone” Duran, Manny “The Pacman” Pacquiao, “Pretty Boy” Floyd Mayweather, JNR and many other boxers.Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective combative systems)

Great Book helps you understand the hard work that all these athletes had to go through to get to where they are. A very good blueprint to follow for every ameteur boxer who has aspirations to get to the top of boxing.

Not a bad book Fun to read, well researched. But, as I said when I reviewed the author's first book, all training routines are pretty much the same and it gets a bit repetitive. I wish he had detailed some strength training programs and exactly what, if any, supplements they took. Also, I know for a fact that many used wood chopping as a training method, yet, it is not mentioned here at all.

Great book! Really great training ideas. I feel like I got more out of this book than I have out of the five other boxing books I read collectively.

I recommend this book to everyone who loves the sport of boxing. You can find there everything you need to progress, different training methods, inspiration, motivation to work harder.

Gives a lot of insight. You can definitely see the training progression over the generations.
