    I thanked you earlier on in the thread for giving me the information, but like I said the cups are still penetrated and they should use bigger ones like the ones they use in sparring.

    We're not all perfect man, I bet there's something about the sport that you weren't aware that other's would say is common sense.

    I never said I was perfect. Neither did anyone else here. There is always something we don't know. That is human. This basic about Boxing on a Boxing website? Doubtful. We love Boxing.

    I think you should have framed this better as a question rather than an questioning assertion. Doubling down with "like I said" didn't help. :good

    You were told before. Sparring cups and fighting cups are the same. So far, nobody has invented anything that will protect you 100% from a punch in the balls. Nothing. It doesn't ****ing exist.

    The closest thing is a Cricket Cup.

    Though, it's quite difficult to move around in it, and it's designed to take 90 mph cricket balls.. I don't know how well they work with punches :S

    The fact that the OP doesnt realize that the cups used in fights are the same as the ones used in sparring probably ruins all of his credibility on anything else that has to do with boxing...

    There must be bigger cups and or more durable ones used outside of the ring since big cups can't fit inside the trunks only relatively small ones can. My position actually still stands.

    I also didn't know people on this forum started with a base amount of credibility.

    Sure they have: Castration.


    So why don't all pro boxers get knuckles nipped?

    Makes sense to me. :cool:
