Not only boxing, but also learning any kind of fighting skills, strength, or basic physical fitness is an impossible hurdle.
There is a saying on the internet that "skills are meaningless in the face of absolute power."
This sentence is right, but not all right.
Not all right, because no one can really practice the so-called "absolute strength" in the real world. (According to my understanding) That is to say, in terms of basic physical qualities (such as strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance, etc.), no one can achieve an absolute crush on anyone. After all, no three-dimensional human can be Hanma Yujiro or Hulk. In this case, take this sentence and show it off everywhere every day. Show it off as a megaphone.
It's right, because any fighting skill must be based on the right physical quality to be meaningful.
The real world is not martial arts novels, movies and entertainment works, and fighting skills are not superpowers. Boxing is also MMA. Even if some people boast "martial arts killing skills" (don't spray, I also practice martial arts, but it is undeniable that the reputation of martial arts in recent years must be related to the "efforts" of these people and these "masters"), technically speaking, it is just a way to use the body in close combat.
Since it is a technique of flexible use of the body, you need a body that can be used flexibly.
Among many kinds and schools of fighting techniques, boxing is a typical "seemingly simple but actually difficult" technique. The threshold is not high, but the ceiling is high
The threshold is low because the attack of boxing is nothing more than an organic combination of straight, hook and swing without considering footwork (however, it is impossible to ignore footwork) and tactics. There is only one way to make this seemingly simple combination play its best role in the battle.
Faster and fiercer.
Punch fast, can attack and defend freely; A heavy punch can end the battle with the least loss in the shortest time.
The premise of being fierce is that you have enough basic strength.
For example, the same backhand straight fist, the same technical level, a skinny primary school student and a heavyweight professional boxer give you a full fist, which will be two completely different scenes.
And strength comes from practice.
Never say anything like "Ah, I am so heavy and powerful".
Boxing, or fighting capacity, is not a concept with that "force"
This is why, obviously, many professional players look thin, but their punching power is greater than that of many fitness enthusiasts (manual dogs) with broad chest muscles, strong arms and neat abdominal muscles.
Of course, it can bring many benefits, otherwise there would be no need for competition. However, if you don't want to be punched by an opponent who looks a big circle thinner than you, and you don't hurt others (I have seen a fat little brother in his early 230s being punched directly on the spot by a little brother who is around 120 kg), then practice honestly.
Simply put, boxing needs strength, not strength.
What you have to do, or what the training wants you to achieve, is to turn the "strength" of your whole body into the "strength" that comes out with your fist every time you punch.
That's why boxing training is not just about eating to gain weight.
