Why do we all love Boxing? are we messed up in the head?

I like the confrontation of styles and personalities. And I appreciate the skill involved.

Don't really care about heart, pride and **** like that.

 

So wrestling, the oldest and possibly most practiced, sport in the world doesn't involve skill? Your stupidity doesn't change the fact that the talent pool in wrestling and judo is greater than boxing. You may be too stupid to realize whats going on, and thats fine if you want to live in the dark, but to claim wrestler, judo players, and mma fighters lack courage or skill is pure stupidity.

As for being "proven", given that MMA fighters have ran through boxers in no holds barred fighting, you are way off base.

IDK. But I just love watching PBF fight.

 

I guess we like how well-conditioned athletes pound the crap out of each other until it goes the distance or the one of the two gets brutally knocked out. I also guess we like legally-sanctioned violence because it is a part of the animal that is lying within us, waiting to burst out. Instead of bursting out, we let the two combatants in the ring do it on our behalf.

 

Too many factors go into boxing. There are so many different things that make boxers great athletes and the sport of boxing so amazing. First off its a 1 on 1 sport. There is no "team", Its the fighters going in there solo. Second its the brutal training that occurs in boxing because boxing is one sport where the training(sparing) is the same **** you do in a real fight, so you got to get beat up in the process for months on end to get ready for a fight. That doesn't even incorporate all the running and physical preparation outside of the actual fighting. Psychologically boxing has to be one of the most demanding sports in the world, when you lose its because of what you did and not because of anyone else's mistake. It involves pain, lots of pain, and more pain! And despite all the brutality, it STILL has a feel of finesse to it in the stylistic sense. Boxers can go up in weight and defy incredible odds, because its the only sport I can think of where a single man can literally take on horrible odds all by his lonesome by going up in weight. See team sports lose so much of that difficulty because on a team, when certain players start aging and losing their edge they got the new young guys to carry them up. Boxing isn't like that, when you lose your edge you still have to fight the up and comers mano a mano. Guys like Erik Morales and Barrera, fighting the up and coming Demon in Pacquiao because thats what boxing is all about - accomplishing what you aren't even supposed to. Its a shame that a sport like boxing isn't accessible to the public on Regular Television.

 

I definitely agree with you on the last sentence. How will the public appreciate boxing if they can't even see it on basic cable. Don't get me wrong; I see some of the boxing on HBO but the WCB and BAD features are mostly mandatory fights for champions to defend their titles and it is not even close these bouts. What boxing needs to do is sell themselves to the public by having fights not on PPV but on cable. Putting it on PPV cuts out most of the working class, those that actually fight for their jobs and families to put food on the table. Instead, they charge us 49.95 for a fight that may be closely contested or completely one sided.

 

100% Agreed:good

 

The answer to the question is:

I love boxing...but there is also no other sport that can be as bad as boxing as well. Aside from politics, corruption, and too many belts and weight classes...a shitty boxing match is just brutal. Byrd-Williamson is worse than any torture known to man.

 

I try not to like it because they are human being hurting each other but
then I still like to watch it.

 

For me it is the sense of Gladiatorialness (if thats a word) that boxing brings. Like the old Gladiators of Rome for me Boxing is synonymous with this whereby two fighters 'put their dukes up' and go at it in a battle of wills, desire, skill, physical prowess, mental fortitudes.

A fight is a culmination of months of training camp and years of dedication to develop the many attributes needed to win. And all this is played out on one nights of boxing. So much preparation is needed and half is battle is fought before the fight, to be physically and mentally stronger than your opponent.

 

It's on our very nature:"survival of the fittest" holds true with the sport. To find the alpha male to rule men is being signified by the boxing champs ruling every division.

 

I think it has something to do with being a bit messed up in the head. Boxing is similar to porn. Porn movies are the only movies where actors can't totally 'play' and boxing is the only sport (apart from other brutal combat sports like MMA but MMA lacks beauty and art element as it's been said and that's why we prefer boxing) where competitors don't really 'play' like you can play football or tennis. It's somehow the real thing in both cases. It takes performers to extreme states of human life and we enjoy it in this bull****-filled world..

But doing such things as sex and fighting just for the pleasure of the audience with no natural reason to fight or to have sex, for money, must be somewhat perverted, morbid I think.

 

in human nature.it is in mens genes to fight and dominate etc.it is the men who dont like boxing im worried about.lol.
