    Was at the pub earlier, me and a few of my m8's were talking about this. Track is called Track, Running, Sprinting, Cross Country, etc. And it actually has all these elements... Football is called football cause you kick a ball with your foot...

    The word "Boxing" means nothing, it has absolutely nothing to do with a box. It should have to do with the main aspect of the sport, which is the human chin. It is obviously the most important attribute for creating great fighters and most on here (I believe) agree with this statement.

    I hearby declare from this point forward, this great sport will be called:

    "Chins"

    Why not just call it Tough Man contests then? There's no science to it when it's about the chin.

    And it somehow makes more sense to call it "boxing"? What about "cubing"? It obviously needs a new name, I worry for the sake of the sport and its marketing. I fear it may one day lose out to the abomination known as "MMA". And no MMA shouldn't be called "Chins" because no one has one. They can't even measure up to Broners glass.

    Why not balls? :patsch That dude has balls. He's a baller-puncher. He's a puncher-baller.

    Chinner-puncher sounds 1/2 gay. Mayorga wouldn't like it.

    There are glass chins in boxing but they are offset by feather fists.
