Yeah thats what I learned. Even heavyweights guys dont lift alot while training for a fight.
I was watching Floyd training sesh and he strictly uses like 5-20 pound dumbbells for various exercises. But the excercises he does he does for a long amount of time. He said somewhere he doesnt bench, etc. Just in the offseason he'll use the bench press machines

but money may is frail too tho. and like 140 lbs at 5'7. That's tiny. it works for him, of course, but that's far from the body I want.
i boxed for years. LOTS of calisthenics, all different angles of pushups and whatnot. and heavy bag work. the heavy bag, IS the weight lifting aspect. you use so much of your body to put the poundage to the bag. Lots of working with body weight, but we def used some actual weights too, just functional lifting, to strengthen certain parts, shrugs, shoulder work, leg work for the punching power. punching in the pool. Forget about the smaller guys and look more at the higher weight classes, many of them lift weights, especially the power hitters, its just lighter, not bodybuilding/weightlifter type regimes. Plus lower body fat %'s will make you look bigger as well which most fighters have.
young Tyson didn't lift, older tyson did tho. Holyfield lifted. bernard hokins and pacman too.

Good point. I was watching match between 2 dudes from 122 pound weight class and because their bf was so low, they looked ripped! Had me like wtf but it makes sense.
Yeah let me ask you about calisthenics, i had someone at the gym tell me if you truely want to look ripped but lean, to lift heavy while bulking but while cutting, stick to low weights, high reps but do huge amounts of calisthenics like variations of pushups, heavy bag workouts, jump rope, etc

Exactly. It's really about your goals.
Other than a change of pace, I doubt I could go back to that training style full time unless it was a career goal to box or do MMA. The main motivation beyond my brother always trying to test me since he was always bigger into that growing up was another outlet to push myself plus the added benefit of being able to defend myself (beyond just slap boxing/wrestling with family, in the hood or at school growing up).
Now I just want to maintain as much size/strength as possible while still remaining functionally athletic.

Is it true that dead lifts make you more prone to injury?

Any lift makes you more susceptible to injury...if done incorrectly.
Deadlifts are probably atop the list of moves done with mediocre technique.
