Boxers losing weight in training (40)

[Senor Awesome]

Boxing: Take Ricky Hatton for example. He fights at 140. Inbetween bouts, he gains lots of fat til he's about 180.

In like ten or 12 week training, he's cutting all 40 pounds here.

How?

That's because he lets got of himself.
I generally wouldn't advice any athlete, let alone boxers to let thier weight yoyo like that. At most, the upper spectrum of the weight class above should be more than suffecient.

How?

Diuretics, Laxatives, Stimulants, possibly things like thryoid drugs, DNP, clenbuterol, brutal dieting/exercise.

What is DNP and Clenbuteol?

Thyroid gauges the speed of your metabolism, right? So they're just artificially speeding it up.

What types of diet and exercise?
Because if you box, you can't do away with your muscle mass. It's about as needed as can be.

I just think of Ricky Hatton. (where I got my example from)

DNP is dinitrophenol, a poison. Thyroid hormones such as T3 and T4 regulate BMR and metabolism, so taking exogenous thyroid hormones does the same thing. Clenbuterol is a stimulant similar to ephedrine, except Clenbuterol only stimulates beta adrenergic receptors...whereas ephedrine stimulates alpha and beta. All of these drugs really are extremely dangerous if you don't know what you are doing...especially the DNP and clen.

...a metabolic poison, which is why people take it.

Because hes hatton :P hes the ****s, favorite boxer, never lost over 40 wins . Anyways did you see what he does when a fight is approaching? He just drinks like orange juice and very healthy stuff. He cuts out the booze and stuff.

i doubt all the weight he puts back on is in BW. most boxers cut at least 10-20 lbs in water before a fight. (right?)

He said in a lengthy interview on HBO before his last fight that he balloons up from 140 to 180 inbetween fights and the towns folks call him "Ricky Fatton".
