Death and Tragedy: Boxing is a Very Dangerous Sport

Completely agree.

The second I stepped foot into the ring, it put the shits up me. The most adrenaline pumping, nervous & nauseating feeling I have had from any sport.

It takes more than a man to box, regardless of their skill, the sport is incredibly dangerous & you are very much putting your life on the line at any second inside there... As history shows, it can only take one punch.

 

No feeling like it in the world...

 

How much would having the weigh ins on the day of the fight affect fighter's health? It's sad to see some fighters cut so much weight and look like walking corpses in the ring, taking ridiculous amounts of punishment.

 

Boxing is no a dangerous sport for Void. Void's personal referee protects him in every round................

 

Tell that to the ****ing keyboard cowards on this damn site!!

 

The problem with the boxing fanbase is that it has too many keyboard warriors.

Anyone who steps into the ring has more courage than most of us ever will.

 

Let's not forget those losing their faculties for good but not succumbing in the ring.

For each death, there's a hundred people whose health has been wrecked.

Look at the fate of all the great fighters; take the great heavyweights from the seventies: Ali, Norton, Frazier, Quarry, Paterson, Spinks, all had neurological disorders in the later part of their life.
Only Holmes, Chuvalo and Foreman seem to have come out relatively unscathed.

 

Sometimes I wonder about Foreman but even the greatest fighter of them all, Ray Robinson, didn't escape pugilistic dementia.

 

Rest in Peace to all the Warriors that lost their life in the ring.

 

Great post

Scott Ledoux i think just died at 58 from ALS ?

 

Very sad to watch, shows how much of a dangerous sport it is, once you step in that square circle your life is on the line. Same goes to MMA.

 

Ledoux passed away in 2011 I believe.

 

On FNF a while back they interviewed a lawyer for the family of a recently deceased boxer and he said “It’s like two men are swimming in a pool surrounded by life guards and one of them drowns. How does that happen?”
