Is that true?!I have to question t he Duran one though in particular as ive seen footage of him youtube and he's skipping like some crazy man!He certainly could skip
Lefty, are you serious? You question if they could skip?! These mentioned are the finest skippers ever...Have you not seen footage of Robinson,Mayweather and Leonard skipping? Even if you haven't surely you wouldn't think these great fighters could not skip, what with there fine footwork?! DazBoxingFan is just having a joke!...Please tell me your having a wind up!
I took it literally!My apologies!Lol...I knew for a fact that Duran could skip because ive seen it but i havent seen the others skip!

I remember seeing Oscar De la Hoye skipping on one of the contender shows and he pasted the rope to Sugar Ray Leornard and said see if you still got it? He put De la Hoye to shame!!!

I went to a boxerobics class a few times that Herol Graham was running. I can't skip for toffee and he was less than impressed. The kicker was when he busted me doing the skipping motion without the rope. I thought I'd get away with it from a distance, then he started walking towards me.
A new low. Even for me.
Now this is fornicating brilliant!

Do you still go there? I see a chap there regularly in boxing t-shirts - Peter-Toney 2, Hatton Promotions and the like. But I've never spoken to the chap.
Is this getting creepy???
Would you like it to??

I need to learn to skip. My footwork is shite, and I reckon skipping will give me that extra spring I need.
I do a great impression of somebody with their laces tied together though

I can now skip. Nothing fancy though just yet. Practice makes perfect. I found watching the rope in front of me helped to time my jump

usually have a little skip after each work out for about 15-20 mins....i find it difficult to do for any more then a minute without stopping as the rope always hits the bottom of my feet....
