Do boxers lift weights?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
I hear that some don't. If they don't then how do they look so muscular?

When I was boxing the experts said that lifting weights made slow so we only did body weight exercise such as push ups. Now everyone knows that lifting correctly makes you stronger and faster.

So some boxers lift and some do not.

No.

EDIT:

Young George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, Joe Frazier, Rocky Marciano and other great Heavyweights did not lift weights.

many boxing gyms I've been to do have weights -___-...marquez started lifting weights...amir khan started too adrien broner ...mike Tyson did lift..and they're others who do too..they lift but not consistently or go to extreme on the amount of weight like bodybuilders do its more of a repetitive type to maintain speed, agility, and power.

I do
