    Tried it, never really had any fights.
    I trained for a Smoker that got cancled.

    none, brain damage at an early age has always kept me out of contact sports.

    I agree with you. From my experience of training and sparring, I can appreciate what boxers like Floyd Mayweather Jr, Bernard Hopkins and other so- called boring fighters do in the ring.

    Except for the cheaters of course, I respect all fighters who get in the ring.

    Eastside Vegas Boxing Gym in Las Vegas. But on the West Coast, I can't find sparring partners...I'm 6'2 220...Out Here, its all Mexican...105-140lbs fighters.

    But yeah...I still can handle myself!!!

    Was bullied until a retired boxer that was my neighbor showed me how to box. I had a few amateur bouts nothing to rave about. however, I did fight in a unofficial tough-man style competition in which I ko'd the best fighter when I was 22. In that fight I got rocked but I was able to win.

    I never box in my life because too many punches to the head make you stupid so I decided not to follow boxing as a hobbie.
