Why do you like boxing?

for the shear violence..

 

Men in shorts.

 

It's the best sport in the world. Nothing comes close in my opinion.

The ultimate proving ground.

 

Because you play football, basketball, baseball etc but you dont play boxing.


Fist fighting depicted in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer"]Sumerian[/ame] relief carvings from the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3rd_millennium_BC"]3rd millennium BC[/ame], while an [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt"]ancient Egyptian[/ame] relief from the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2nd_millennium_BC"]2nd millennium BC[/ame] depicts both fist-fighters and spectators.[1] Both depictions show bare-fisted contests.[1] In 1927 Dr. E. A. Speiser, an archaeologist, discovered a [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia"]Mesopotamian[/ame] stone tablet in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baghdad"]Baghdad[/ame], [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq"]Iraq[/ame] depicting two men getting ready for a prize fight. The tablet is believed to be 7,000 years old.[2] The earliest evidence for fist fighting with any kind of gloves can be found on [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoan_civilization"]Minoan[/ame] [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crete"]Crete[/ame] (c. 1500–900 BC), and on [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinia"]Sardinia[/ame], if we consider the boxing statues of Prama mountains (c. 2000–1000 BC).[1]

 

Well what got me into it was watching Khan on ITV. I just loved the speed, accuracy, combo's and relentless hands. That's sounds a bit homo..

But now I like Boxing more overall and just love the art of it. I love seeing the different styles etc guys like Mayweather who show the real art of Boxing which is to hit and not get it and then you have guys like Pacquiao who are just relentless, who punch from angles you'd never see coming and do something you wouldn't ever expect them to do.

Boxing>UFC any day of the freaking week.

 

Isnt that a line from the movie undisputed.

 

Because of Mike Tyson when he became the youngest hw champ

 

It's by Mike Tyson. Probably the best quote ever made about boxing.

 

Yes it does sound homo.. Every Khan fan sounds like that, just because Khan is from their country/continent, they turn into a boxing expert overnight, they never even heard of Jake LaMotta, Kid Chocolate, Willie Pep but they have the nerve to argue with me that prime Ali beats Tyson/Lewis/Klitschko.. I know it's off topic but **** it

 

Ahh that figures. Undisputed is kinda based on Tyson.
