Body Building is the last thing you want to do man...<br><b>References : </b><br> Like JP Said, Strength and cardio…Do alot of running, more than 20 min a day, add some sprints at least 3 times a week to build up your "second wind", alot of body weight excercises like push ups and pullups, sit ups, things like that.

Very big muscles tend to consume a lot of energy and oxygen. You'll gas out easily. Focus on strength and also cardio workouts.<br><b>References : </b><br> Don’t bulk up.

You call yourself a "fighter"? You've got to be kidding me. If you meant "sportsman" when you said "fighter" then, OK, fair enough, you are a "fighter". :) But anyway, from my martial arts experience... I find that the fastest way (for me, at least) to learn how to take punches is to actually take more punches. I'm not joking around here. I found myself getting used to the feeling of getting hit, and I timed my breathing better to not get winded. And from martial arts experience... I can tell you that if your opponent punches you in the EXACT RIGHT SPOT, there's nothing you can do to stop the winded feeling and pain. Good luck with your boxing.<br><b>References : </b><br> Western Boxing?

I think your best fighters from the early days of boxing to the modern UFC all had different methods, but body building looks to make mass over utility. In other words, body building would leave you very fatigued in a match that went a long way. I think you should work with a trainer to develop a strength routine that fits your style. If you're more of a power hitter, you'll be working more to develop power. If you're a fast fighter, you might want to work on your stamina more. Any way you choose, never neglect the mental factor! Often the difference between going down and staying to the decision is in your attitude. You can only train your chin (or your body) so far.<br><b>References : </b><br> I’m far from an athlete, but I am a big fight fan.
