Question

Who else thinks in boxing they should get rid of gloves and make them wear giant foam hands?

Answer 1

That would make for some interesting boxing at least!

Answer 2

while this sounds promising and is medically an excellent idea if not socially it will never come about as it ignores a fundamental truth about mankind.

we , (not  you and I personally ) have an inbuilt savage side in that most humans get a real pleasure from physical conflicts. This may well be an inane or inherited response from our ancestral times and neanderthal days but  is still addressed today as fulfilling that need.

for example we had gladiators fulfilling that role and this has now been supplanted by athletics, boxing wresting and football etc.

all excite and give pleasure to millions of humans and give succour to those who still feel the need for conflict to supply andrelin and excitement in their lives. This is  a fundamental issue and is rarely addressed in such terms.

the actual 'boxing' arts are little more than a thinly disguised gladiatorial event.
