Boxing

My roommate and I both have some boxing/kickboxing experience and would like to set up a boxing area in our home gym.

What would be a good punching bag?

Also, I'm looking for new gloves. What would be some good gloves to buy? (I'm relatively petite. Does that change which size/weight I should buy?)

My Father boxed in the Army and he used to take my brothers into the back yard with the boxing gloves.
He recommended me to buy my boys boxing gloves and put them into the back yard when they were fighting each other but I wouldn't do it - they did used to *wrestle* in the living room though under my supervsion.
Later tonight they are reshowing the "Thriller in Manilla" fight on TV - that and subsequent events makes me think that I was *right*.

Or which do you prefer.

To be honest I think none of them really mean anything anymore. There's so many that the World Championships are worthless in my eyes. It's the boxers that you beat not the Championships that you hold that make you a legend.

I don't think it should be Floyd Mayweather Jr. I think it should be Joe Calzaghe. Definitley if he beats Kessler.

Also due to my hard punching at the begging I loose energy fast any ideas?? and yes even if I don't punch hard at the begging my wrists still get sore! I went to the doctors they said its ok!

I admit, it wasn't the fight of the year that i thought it would be. It was still a decent fight though.

I have just moved from England to Madrid and have founda boxing gym here. I am the only southpaw in the gym and when I am paired up with someone for pad work or drills they are confused and put off by my stance. I dont speak Spanish which makes it harder to explain to them how to hold the pads etc.. I have been changing to an orthadox stance to make things easier but I am most comfortable as a southpaw. Any sugestions?

If the ring was 5'x5' square...who would have been tops? I don't really give it much thought when it comes to infighting at heavyweight. At the lower weights, it was probably either Duran or Hagler being the best phone booth fighters. What about Dempsey?

I want to take up boxing because it seems fun, but my parents are really into it they only see the bad sides. I was just wondering what the bad sides where and what the good sides were to tell me parents about.

I know your fists are to be near your jaw and forearms protecting your torso but how far apart should your hands be and such?

and when you punch are you supposed to punch with your hand vertical or horizontal?
