In all sports there are superstitions that players or participants believe in. For instance, hockey players who haven't won a Stanley Cup will not even look at or touch the cup until they win it. In baseball, some players wear lucky sox, gloves, or batting helmuts(several Boston Red Sox players wear the wore out helmuts which the B is not even visible) Insofar as boxing, I can't think off hand of any superstitions any fighters have? Does anybody know of any? What are they?

Good thread, I can't really think of any either.

Note: The Boston Red Sox are scumbags, hence they never shave, bathe, or clean their helmets. 86 years, about time eh? GO YANKEES!

I'm a yankees fan BostonGuy, nothing personal :)

Funny, looking at ur avatar reminds me of a story i heard of the Ali-Foreman fight. Foreman had said he thought some kind of vodoo was done on him. He said he felt wierd for that fight,dont know what exactly. Maybe someone has heard it,but i guess that has something to do with superstition.

Note: 2 records in 2004

1) Sox broke their 86 year world series losing streak

2) Yankees made the biggest choke in baseball history; up 3-0 games in the ALCS and then lost 4 consecutive games :D
