ok lets put it another way....would you expect ricky hatton to ask advice on training,conditioning or diet from a bodybuilder...or a boxing trainer with 10/15/20 years experience in preparing fighters ?
most people in whatever sport they are in will look to people at the top of the SAME sport for advice,and this is a very natural and sensible thing to do.....
as an example lee...if i asked your opinion on an upcoming fight,there is most probably only a very small percentage of stuff you could advise me on to do with that fight,so wouldnt i be more sensible getting advice from somebody capable of advising me from all angles ? who has a lot of experience with the exact questions im going to want answering,makes perfect sense to me.
i get what your saying about bodybuilders having a good knowledge of diet etc but how many of the top boxing or mma trainers have experience of bodybuilding in any kind of competetive level? none...of course that doesnt mean bodybuilders dont have knowledge,just means they dont normally have enough knowledge of all aspects of a fight...most top pros nowadays have different coaches for different parts of the game....dieticians,boxing coaches,ground game coaches,wrestling coaches,conditioning coaches...even massage people ! cant spell the proper word for them
so when you break it down of what is actually involved in preparing for a fight,i really dont see what a bodybuilder can actually help with....no disrespect as i know theres nothing i could help you prepare for in your sport either
