Remember Ricardo Mayorga putting a cigar in his mouth straight after his fights, dident light it at the time but believe he did soon after !
Anyone else ?
And would the odd one or two socially make a difference if you cut it out for training camp ?

eamon magee used to smoke. read a allegedly article where he claimed nigel benn used to have a crafty fag out of training. it wouldnt suprise me if a few did. its kind of like one of those things they dare not admit too. a bit like not putting everything into roadwork. Im sure there are boxers that prefer other methods of training to get their wind but they dont like admitting it cos its 1 of boxings ten commandments.

I'm fairly certain he doesn't smoke anymore but i'm sure i remember reading that Carl Froch smoked fairly late into his career.

Kirklaind Laing went missing just before his British title fight against Rocky Kelly, his trainer supposedly found him an hour before the fight stoned out his brains. They rushed him to the venue and put him in the ring, where Kirkland Laing (AKA The Gifted One) won by KO in the 5th round

Nah didn't think Froch smoked
I've had half a pint of Guinness or a pint about six months ago, and I've never smoked.
