Cuz boxing is way ahead that those other sports are unworthy of being ranked under Boxing. So they just made a list of the 10 hardest sports (Behind boxing) bbb
Yep, that's Rafeals work, but the Ring doesn't have him in there either, every guy on the list besides Wlad is 160 or below. Vitali imo should be on both lists, but they are just opinionated lists anyways that mean absolutely not a god damn thing.
Come on, I love boxing but it isn't the hardest sport around by a long shot of course. There are a lot of other fightsports in wich knees, elbows etc are allowed, and also with much smaller gloves. Also fights are allowed to continue when a fighter is lying utterly helpless on the floor. In boxing you get DQ'd for that. And then you don't even consider the "extreme sports" in wich the contestants break limbs every other match.
That's because most ***s never laced up a pair for 3 rounds let alone 12. And guaranteed they have never been punched in the face a day in their lives except probably by their gf's and wives.
I have to disagree. In other full contact sports, using other parts of your body to strike actually gives u more options to win than just being limited to using your fists. Also in MMA a guy gets rocked and goes down hard, they stop it before u get a chance to get back up. Even if the other guy jumps on u to hit u when ur down, the ref jumps in quick. If your rocked in boxing, u can go down and if u get back up and the ref thinks u can continue, there is a gd chance u will go down again with big shots. Extreme sports can break bones and while quite painful and well deserved in most occasions, the object of the sport isn't to knock u unconscious. Remember, under most conditions broken bones won't kill you. Your taking a chance though everytime u get hit flush to the head. And usually, when the brain recieves unrepairable trauma, it's almost always too late.
I agree that there is a much higher chance of permenant damage in boxing than in MMA (Unless you talking about cauliflower ear)
Uuuh.....didn't we all see what happened to Vitali when he got in the ring with a guy his own size? Not to mention the "guy" was damn near 40 and past his prime. How would both the Dr's careers be right now if everyone they fought was 6'5"-6'8" and 240-270? :hi:
Cauliflower can at least be surgically corrected. If your brain gets fried, their ain't no correcting that.
