There are so many "I-know-everything" guys out there, saying different things, do's and don'ts about boxing, boxing training and everything in between. The funny thing is, beginners tend to believe these einsteins that they end up confused with what's true and what's not.
You see, it's okay to listen and take a few nods from these guys but once you walk away, forget everything they say and take advice from real experts. (This is the reason why you should hire a trainer if you are really serious about the sport.)
Dummies may easily be fooled but it is not a crime to be gullible, not using the common sense that was given to you is. So let us take some time and enumerate boxing training myths and bury it once and for all:
Myth #1: Running long slow distances is good for the boxer.
Sure, it is not going to hurt but this doesn't make you the most effective boxer. You see, boxing and running doesn't match. Just compare the physique of a boxer and the physique of a marathon runner and you'll see a great different. I have nothing against long distance runners but they train for long, thin muscles that a boxer doesn't need. Sure, boxers need the stamina of a runner but he can get that in other ways.
