They measure the arm straight and unflexed. Prior to even Ali's day it was never measured and they just relied on what ever the boxing camp gave them. Hard to believe guys weighing over 200lbs had a straight unflexed arm that measured only 15".

IIRC, boxers from past eras were often advised not to lift weights (especially arm work) since it was seen as being detrimental to their speed and conditioning. Foreman had some pretty big arms though, especially during his comeback (albeit at a higher bodyfat).

Some did, some didn't.

Most of the old time strength work was wood chops / sledge hammer work, weighted drags/carries, and basic bodyweight stuff. You can sometimes find video of 1970's or early boxers lifting weights, but it's very moderate volume and intensity. It's even like that today for the most part.

The big push toward heavier strength training happened late 80's, very early 90's with Evander Holyfield, Foreman's comeback (that''s when he claims he did the bulk of his lifting), etc.....

For overall physical conditioning you could do a lot worse than train like a boxer. Getting punched in the head is not a good idea for an older athlete (or anyone for that matter) but everything else:

Road work
Heavy Bag
Speed Bag
Rope Skipping
Weights or bodyweight strength movements

Yes, boxers are real athletes and train as such.  A person training like that will be in much better shape than gym bodies across America or any other country.

Some here believe if you don't have a huge steroided up muscular body you can't be an athlete. ::)

LOL

Lee Priest is someone NOT to be trifled with!

Not on the Internet, not in person, not in the Grocery store, not in the Parking lot, not in line at Walmart, not in a restaurant, not at the beach, not at the dry cleaners... anywhere.

Neither Ali or Frazier would stand a chance.

"An uppercut by Lee would have decapitated most Heavyweights."
