Threading through the action, before, during and sometimes,AFTER many fights, is boxing talk! Seldom can one find better lines written or spoken in any other sport! MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL...only have tea party conversations compared to boxing! :D The ones one reads on this site illustrates the point. ;)Besides, on those times when we don't get good matches, the talk can get us pretty occupied... :D

I love boxing because of the fact that 2 men (or women, but i dont watch that) get in the ring and put everything on the line. It is the sport which requires the most bravery. To most i am a young boxing fan. The first fight I ever saw was the first Holyfield/Tyson fight, and it changed me. It made me a blood thirsty rabid boxing fanatic. :mad: I'm not crazy, you are! Who said that?!?!? :confused:

cuz theres different things taht make a boxer

some boxers are really fast
some boxers strong
some are really conditioned
some can take shots
some slug
some run

and theres lot of things that make up a good boxer
theres bunch of different styles
and it dont matter how talented u are
it's bout how much u want it and how hard u work
in tha ring if tha other boxer has more skill
u keep fighting cuz theres always a chance
it aint like basketball tha other guy gets tha ball in with his eyes closed and u shoot and u always miss
it aint baseball where u either hit tha ball or not
boxing is more thinking
baseball u hit tha ball u run (GAY!)
in boxing, everyone has strengths and everyone has weakness's
no boxer has tha most speed, tha most power, tha most stamina, best agility, best skill
everyone has positive and negative and u gotta work on tha negative to become a great fighter

i love boxing...i dont know.....
but i like it.......

soldiers work together as a team, they need each other to accomplish there task, but thats the difference between soldiers and warriors. warriors are always visible on the battlefield because they stand alone, they are the strongest. team sports show the heart of a team but boxing shows the heart of just one person, **** the team, i wanna see how much is inside of one person. thats courage, thats heart and that makes real champions.

Boxing to me is like a drug!!! Waiting for that opening bell of a fight I am really excited about is such a rush!!! My heart pounds and i start shaking for like the first 3 rounds!!! That is the best way I can explain it... I just love boxing!!!

man you might wanna go to your doctor and get that checked out
i love boxing to
but god damn
it aint cocaine
lol

Good question, big daddy. Here's my answer.

You've got yourself and the other guy and that's it. No team to fall back on or to blame. If you lose, its your fault alone. If you win, the victory is all yours. Boxers are among the greatest athletes on the planent. No fat assed lineman or lazy baseball player could hold a candle to a pro boxer in terms of athletecism. Any sport that is comprised of only one participant each, is, in my opinion, above other sports. Sure there's something to be said for teamwork and making great things happen becuase 11 people worked together or whatever, and that's all well and good, but in the trenches is where it counts. Boxing, Wrestling (the real wrestling), Martial arts, Kickboxing, Track and field, triathlon, and hell, even tennis and golf rate higher for me than team sports, because whatever happens, happens becuase of you and no one else. Unless you get drugged like Wlad did. But that's foul play. (What? Foul play in boxing??? Never!!)

Its the one on one combat, the test of skill and will.
Ive been a boxing fan ever since I had the pleasure of watching Ali vs Frazer 2........

Yeah, I thought there was something wrong with me!!! :D I just love the sport!!!

I love the sport cause there is no room for mistakes, one-on-one fighting, no team. Like Emanuel S. said at the DLH ko, if this were another sport they would just put someone else in. (NOT IN BOXING)

I guess I love boxing for all of the same reasons as you guys but especially because of the amazing characters that I have been honored to learn about.
My life would have been an emptier place without the Greatest being a part of it. He made me laugh, made me believe in miracles and inspired me to stand up for what I believe.
There are so many more who had a strong influence on me. Who could not be moved by the stories we have heard about "Schoolboy" Bobby Chacon, Jake LaMotta, Jack Johnson.......the list is immense.
The image of Big George Foreman waving the flag proudly after other members of his Olympic boxing team had raised the Black Power salute in protest of the treatmnt blacks endured at the time. Good points made from both sides.
Dramatic moments that no screenwriter could imagine. Stories of courage and perseverance that left me in awe.
And all of it done by an individual........no teamates to blame for failure...glory or shame shouldered by one person.
There is nothing else like it.

I love it for so many reasons, but it has to be the one Yoko said, two guys and all eyes on them showing us everything they have, their heart and their guts all for the world to see.
nothing compares to it, tennis is the same.
Another thing is that anything can happen it only takes one clean punch to turn a dominated fighter into a winner.
That is what keeps me on the edge of my seat and that is why i love boxing :)

When Boxing is at its best no other sports touchs it. It should be one of the most popular sports, the fact people like sports like Golf instead disgusts me. Boxing is by far the toughest and most excitng sport, everything is on the line each fight. In any other sports if your down by alot chances are you are going yo lose but in Boxing one good punch and you could win. I like Basketball to but it not a sport you can talk that much about, unlike Boxing where there is always somthing to talk about. I love Boxing

It's one of the only sports where it's one on one, man to man, (Or Woman to Woman).
and the mere fact you can be getting your ass kicked the whole entire fight and still win in the dying seconds is unreal, there is no team sport like that.
If you play in a team and you are getting thrashed all game and then with thirty seconds to go you play awsome, you will still lose.

But if you are getting an ass whoopin in boxing you can still KO the guy in the last round and win, so that in itself is great.

its unpredictable, anyone has a chance. it also has some of the best athletes in the world

The violence...and I'm so good at it..

The fact of how skill and blood and guts mix together masterfully. I dont think there's anything on the planet that can mix artwork & brutality, and make a masterpiece.

I love boxing because its like a modern day version of the Gladiators of the old Roman Empire.

Two warriors battling it out though not to the death, to claim supremacy over his opponents. The Crowds watch every movement of the fighters and their breathing slows and speeds up in relation. When another loved fighter has the other fighter in trouble the crowd cheers and gets noiser and nosier... encouraging their man to finish his opponent off, When the fighter succeeds the crowd goes wild and cheers of nationality for some and of name for others come roaring in.

There is art, skill, conditioning, speed, and power all of which play a part in their role as fighters.. switch their gloves for swords and they are basically gladiators!

Some fighters fight for the Glory, other play it safe and pick up their check.

Boxing seperates the men from the boys!

There is nothing i love more than watching a wanna be hard man come to the gym, get beaten up and never come back. :D

Oh yeah, boxing is also the most exciting and unpredictable sport to watch.

The Round girls. :D

because the loser feels emasculated

because when i watch a fight i know i'm a fan of a fighter cuz no matter who it is i'm scared they are going to get ko'd,i hate when my fighters lose,no sport does that for me except boxing

I just love fighting.

Man boxing is the **** because you can disect it imitate it and become great at it... But before all that you have to dedicate yourself to something on an entirely different spectrum then any other sport.. I love boxing because its me v him and the only help is myself and a bell>
Boxing is a craft an art you should be able to recieve degrees for the ****... cuz amazing **** really does happen.. Boxing is a sport of chance.. skill... and refelxes... a reflex is an instance and in a instance BANG can happen.. Only those who captilize on those instances often are consider great, those who dont sub-par.. boxing is a sport of determanation.. its jus the ****

nothing tops the anticipation of a great fight, especially when it is a mega bout!!!

Its exciting. The build up to a big fight is great. There just a special feel about it...its amazing how one night/one punch can change so much.

To me boxing is a microcosm of life. You can watch a fighter for 30 minutes and know more about the way that person is wired than your best friend.

For 30 minutes there is no team, there is no mulligan, there are no excuses. Your mistakes cost you dearly, your victories are as satisfying as it gets. There is no other sport like it.

Also: It should be noted I don't like anything before the first bell or anything after the last bell. That's the part of boxing that is killing it.
