Boxing question?????

Question

are you for or against boxing and WHY?

Answer 1

For. Boxing is sick. Its fun as h**l, takes discipline, definately gets and keeps kids outta the street that mite get messed up by drugs and bull. Just a heads up you probably won't get people against lookin at questions in the boxin category. But yea boxins the ****

Answer 2

Asking this question on a boxing forum might not lead to a well balanced result.

I don't really understand your question. This is boxing, not abortion or the war on iraq. I think boxing is a broadly accepted sport, so why the question of being for or against boxing.

If you ment wether I like boxing or not... yes I like boxing. But this is a matter of personal taste and preferrence, and not a matter of objective discussion. (And not really a boxing question)

On your additional detail: No! Why should it be banned?

Answer 3

Here is a better question.......how many people that frequent a boxing forum are against boxing?

Not me.  For me it goes back to attempting and failing to be any good at boxing.  My failure was humbling.  I gained quite a bit of respect for the sport in my failure and have been a fan since then.

Many people think that boxing is just about a couple of guys punching until they are tired.  There is so much strategy that goes into the sport and there is an underlying complexity that most people miss.

Guys like Floyd Mayweather are graceful in winning, while guys like Mike Tyson can be brutal.  That both guys can be polar opposites in style, yet have successful careers is an example of the why the sport  is so great.

Answer 4

Im for boxing all the way,,

Its a true sport that requires disipline, skill, determination

and confidence.

You also get what you put into it

Answer 5

without boxing...two proud people with conflict (in any areas at all) will just beat each other up anywhere.....and unregulated, too.

at least with boxing, they have an arena, the fight is regulated, and fight fans have a reason to cheer.

Answer 6

I am for. The reasons why: Boxing first and foremost is a way to teach people self defense, like martial arts. Secondly it is an excellant exercise regiment that anyone can participate in, whether they compete or not. Thirdly it teaches self discipline and it relieves stress that life can bring people. And finally, it is a way to gain admiration and respect from people who admire your diligence and self restraint (if you're a good boxer), and money if you turn professional.

Answer 7

For: it is a great sport. Probably the only true sport.  Because you can have all the best trainers and support staff but when that bell rings it's just you and the other person in the ring.

It is great...only people should not stay in the sport longer than there bodies can take it...Ali, Lewis and many, many more.

Answer 8

I am for boxing on TV, as long as know gets majorly hurt. I'm also for boxing at home because it's a GREAT way to get in shape in a little amount of time!!!!!
