For boxing to really come alive again, and be a mainstream must see TV, we need more American Fighters. Case in point, anyone here between the ages of 25-50 can easily remember growing up and being outside all the time and playing. The kids now a days dont excerise, dont play outside. Evereyone wants a ****ing shortcut and the easy way out. They should make Boxing Training mandatory in schools. Not fighting, just training. It is cheap enough to get some heavybags and some clothes and teach kids about disicpline and training. Kids will learn a lot more by doing than watching. Kids Idoilze Actors and Muscians. Acting is fake, they dont do that ****, it is phony. I respect it does take a certain craft to be a Muscian and an actor, but 99% of the world will never be there. 100% of the world can be in good shape.
No sport should be mandatory in any school. Not basketball, not baseball, and not boxing. If someone wants to learn to box they can go to a gym. Gym should definitely be mandatory in school though. America has a bunch of fat little kids.
mandatory training, I dont mean boxing, just mandatory cardio type stuff. Through out all the ****ing video games and bull****.
50& of the pfp top 10 is still American pretty good for only making up less than 5% of the worlds population. Mayweather (hes inactive but seriously hes at worst 2nd) Nonito (been here since he was like 9, just know or talk to him and its obvious hes an American) Bradely Hopikins Ward Could even count Segura as he learned to box here,went HS here and he is also an American citizen.
It is here in Illinois, K-12 with the exception of one semester in HS where you take health class. You can get out of it if you're on a sports team, people in things like ice skating/gymnastics do that a lot.
I didn't have gym Junior or Senior year. I go to a high school in Chicago. I did have gym the other years though,
There are a lot of exceptions around the state to it, but in general Illinois pushes really hard for everyone to have gym as much as possible.
