How does floyd mayweather train day/night? how many hrs doe he sleep?
Don't know a great deal about Floyd's training regime, but I do know that he keeps himself in exceptional shape during rights (which is more than can be said for Mr. Hatton). About 6 weeks before the De La Hoya Superfight, there was a rumour coming out of Floyd's camp that at the weight of 150 Ibs, he managed to run a mile in around 5 minutes flat. Whether or not there is any truth to this, that would be an impressive time for a boxer of Floyd's weight. I told someone this in an answer on here, and he doubted me. He said that if Floyd was running this sort of time for the mile, he was in the wrong sport, and that the World Record for the mile was 4:19, or something. Just to clarify, I happen to be a very keen and able track and field historian, and people were running 4:19 for the mile in about 1865. In fact, the great Finnish runner, Paavo Nuurmi, became the first person to run 4:10 for the mile...and this was in 1923! The World Record is currently held by Hicham El Gerrouj with a time of 3:43.13. I ran a mile in 4:38 at the age of 17 and at about 115 Ibs (off only 15 miles a week of training), so for someone like Floyd, pushing his body to the limit in training pretty much every day and in super Cardiovascular shape, a 5 minute mile would be very much achievable. That is all.
How do boxers like Floyd Mayweather train for a big fight?
For guys like Floyd, they pretty much train all year round in some form in order to stay in shape. Then when a fight is announced they have a fight camp which can roughly be a 10–16 week time period where you train specifically for the match. During this period, your training will consist of:Cardio: Roadwork, sprints, jump rope, etc.Bag work: Doing drills on the heavy bag, speed bag, and double end bagMitt work: Do drills while your coach is holding the mitts.Sparring: Hiring a couple guys who can emulate either all or some of your opponent’s fighting style so you can apply tactics and strategy in the ring. Usually start off with medium sparring in the beginning of the camp and then you go into harder sparring during the middle of the camp and then you taper off into medium to light sparring towards the end in order to avoid injuries before the match.Strength and conditioning: This is all the other exercises like core/abs workouts, endurance training, etc.
Is Floyd Mayweather still fighting Amir Khan in May or is the sweepstakes still up for grabs?
Following his pattern last year of taking on gradually increasing level and quality of opposition ( Guerrero and then Alvarez ), I think he will take a lighter opponent first ( possibly Khan, Maidana or Porter ) then going against a biggie ( possibly Lara or Pacquiao if Arum holds true to his words that he will release Manny if needed ). My guest is that Floyd will most likely be fighting Maidana or Porter in another welterweight unification this May. Khan I think is not yet ranked in the welterweights to make possible a title defense against him. Unless the WBC again miraculously rank him as high as top 5.
Does Floyd Mayweather smoke?
Throughout his long career, Floyd Mayweather has proven himself to be a consummate professional. Unlike many others, Money has never shown any problems with conditioning nor motivation. He also has shown his long-term commitment to invest in his body. Floyd is surrounded by numerous professionals to include his own personal chef. Thus, it would be highly unlikely for a man that invests so much into his main professional asset (himself) to do anything that would harm himself or decrease his physical capabilities. He seems to be cut from the same professional cloth as a guy like Bernard Hopkins. Out all the reasons not to like Floyd Mayweather, his professionalism and dedication are not included in that list. In truth, his work ethic (hard work) and dedication are admirable (by anyone’s standards). So, I would believe that he does not smoke nor will at least until his professional career is done (if ever).
Andre Ward vs Floyd Mayweather........Who wins?
It's not the same at all and Ward wins. 1. Jumping a division become a much bigger deal as you go up the weights. Crawford jumping 2 divisions to fight Bradley would not be as big as Kovalev going up 2 divisions to fight a big heavyweight. 2. Mayweather's natural weight is 147, he only ever went up to 154 for the paydays, so it's 3 divisions.
How do boxers like Floyd Mayweather maintain muscle mass despite running so much?
They run predominantly for cardio, but that will only be part of the workout.So lets take Floyd as an example, his road workout will be around 5 miles - but then will spend a lot of time doing strength and conditioning, sparring, bag workouts, mitts, skip rope, even some power exercises using weights.The latter build lean, strong muscle, the road work helps the cardio system thats needed for endurance.
How fast will Floyd Mayweather burn through his cash?
Mayweather, unbeknownst to many, runs his own training camp. What that means quite simply is there isn’t one person in charge of his camp, as with other boxers.He determines what he’ll eat, sparring, conditioning and anything else involved with his camp. And this has gotten him to 49–0.It’s also worth noting that he is surrounded some smart people. Al Haymon being the first that comes to mind.Between his ability to run his own camp and surround himself with smart people, I’ll think he’ll be ok.If anything, I think he has an issue with making too much money.
Floyd Mayweather has more wins than Muhammad Ali had. Is Floyd better than Ali?
Boxing isn't just about winning, regardless of what some people might say or believe. The way one performs in the ring is just as important as the win. Typically when money is involved, 'the win' is highly sought in as little time as possible.Floyd had a huge advantage over Ali:He descends from boxing royalty. Floyd's family is filled with boxing champions — amateur and professional. Ali did not.As boxing royalty, Floyd had access to a significant amount of boxing training talent to provide insight. There were no boxing trainers that Floyd didn't have access. Ali did not.Floyd started to learn to box at age 4, taught by his father, a professional boxer who started boxing professionally at least 3 years before Floyd was born. Ali began boxing at 12 years old.Floyd's training camps are amazing for any athlete. Floyd trains for 10 to 12 weeks, including sparring against opponents at three different weight classes, weightlifting, and calisthenics. Ali, really old school, didn't do weights, just calisthenics and sparring.Floyd had the benefit of lessons learned from Ali and others. Ali was the lesson learned; he really only had himself and a few other pros to learn from like Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Pep, Joe Louis, etc.,To the question — Floyd is “better” at boxing than Muhammad Ali because he had a greater advantage because of Ali, it's not because of Floyd's wins. One should not disregard the value of advantage.
Who gave Floyd Mayweather the best fight?
While Floyd Mayweather’s answer may be Emanuel Augustus (then Burton), the majority of objective observers almost unanimously agree it was the first Castillo fight.Going in, the contest represented who was going to be “the man”, or the linear champion at 135 pounds, and was therefore historically significant. It also pitted the heavy-handed aggressor versus the boxer-mover, adding an interesting styles dynamic. Floyd was a 4–1 betting favorite.“Pretty Boy” started well, boxing sharply behind his jab and circling intelligently. However, “El Temible” was surprisingly effective with his own jab and closed distance better than anyone else had up to that point. Castillo continued to press, tossing an array of punches to the head and body, and remained the come-forward fighter the rest of the way. Mayweather, it should be noted, fought with a left arm injury that had apparently arisen in training camp.While punch stats should always be taken with a grain of salt, this bout represents the only time in Mayweather’s career in which he was out-thrown (506/448), out-landed (Total: 203/153; Power Punches: 173/66), and considered the less accurate puncher (40%/35%).Dan Rafael, then a writer for USA Today, said in his coverage that “Castillo appeared to dominate, especially in the later rounds…”Unofficial HBO judge Harold Lederman, including all of the announcers had Castillo winningThe Associated Press scored it 115–111Chris Bushnell of The Boxing Chronicle had it 115–112
