If youยve got physical weaknesses, youยll lose. Nobody who gets cut easily can be a champion, however strong and talented he is. Boxers are trained to see and exploit their opponentsย weaknesses, they hit you on your wounds. Only the strongest survive in this sport.
Lennox LewisA great champion needs a background in amateur boxing, Iย'm convinced of that. There you learn everything that youยll need later as a pro.

You know all the boxing styles, youยre prepared for anything, youยve got the pedigree that you need to be a successful pro.
