Why are there no elite boxers from China?

"Few if any outside of the states are built for it". lol.

As I understand it, the gridiron game is a stop-start variant of rugby with padding, helmets, and far too many coaches. Why do American sports have more coaches/managers/lawyers than players? Anyway, rugby is played in more places than gridiron. It's played widely in the U.S. Here's the US Naval Academy rugby page:

Gridiron is preferred in the U.S. for patriotic reasons and a desire to be different, the same way Aussies play Aussie Rules. It's also a game of affluence. You need all the gear and of course about 15 coaches. Most kids around the world prefer to play soccer (mostly) or rugby (secondly), because it's easier, cheaper, faster, and they don't need to be patriotically different (or they express their patriotism in other ways). Anyway, very interesting subject.

No, I don't know why there are no boxers from China today. But I do know they have a different history of sports. One difference is that sports were more for show or discipline than one-on-one contest. Another difference is that weight handicapping isn't an instinctive idea in their sports. Maybe that's connected to the first point. I got that from a lecture on Chinese history and culture around the time of the Olympics.

They play rugby in the Chinese army though, I read that somewhere.

 

On average they have thinner skulls. Get knocked out easier

 

I think thats true as well, they get hurt too easily. Specially if you compare them to thais.

 

It has to be something racist to do with Chins!

 

I like this post a lot. You see a lot of chinese martial arts but I've yet to find any true competition between the practitioners like we see in boxing.

 

They all want to be like Yao Ming.

 

They love their kung fu which is a fighting arts. The class end before the sparring session begins

 

there soft

 

I've sat in one some of their class sessions before. Their sparring ends right when someone gets struck in the face with a good blow.

 

Ohh, negative, sir. I can assure you of that.

Leon basically handled this question but aside from that: mathematics, building walls, communism, politically imprisoning, creating gadgets, censorship, opening ceremonies, inexplicably losing wars, go, opium ingestion, human trafficking, disregarding human rights, mahjong, manipulating chopsticks, applied sciences, foot binding, dog and cat delicacies, baseball, f'n with the dalai lama, tai chi, showing due deference to Great Britain and Japan, calligraphy, fantastic New Year's celebrations, Buddhism, dragons, Falun Gong, producing kick-ass kung fu flicks, inexplicably putting lead in everything from toothpaste to toys, tainting milk, elaborate costumes, female infanticide, etc.

You get the picture.

 

and the good blow happened by accident

I dont know what it is, you have to tell them to hit you harder because he is not hurting you. You have to promise not to hurt them back if they hurt you alittle bit too much atsch

Unless those chinese people I have dealt with are the libarian type were they wont even hurt a fly...I dont know really.

 

You forgot the part about trying to street race, playing tennis, collecting Nikes, drinking bubble tea, and looking feminine to try to look cute for bitches.

 

Our games are more deliberate and nuanced than a lot of other games of chance and luck that the rest of the world enjoys. Rugby is nothing more than a club sport in the US. Maybe college intramural or something. Our games are more civilized than rugby (aka kill the carrier) and we make no apologies for it.

No disrespect but "gridiron" is preferred because it's a far superior game. It's has nothing to do with patriotism. And far be it from you to tell any Americans why they enjoy "gridiron." As if you would know. And we're an affluent country and we don't make any apologies for that either so it's only right we play an "affluent game."

I don't know about the Chinese, but I know over here in America we take our sporting serious and we won't wait til we have over a billion people in our country to become mildly competitive in even the most unbecoming of sports.

 

You come across as a very boring, sad, lonely, ignorant man club fighter. I actually cringed for you, to save you the embarrassment. Thank me later.

 

Kind sir, read a book first. Psychoanalyze second. Learn something and then when you're done go play some "gridiron." It'll work wonders for your patriotism.
