Why do you love Boxing

eurochamp · 09:22 AM

For me it is the only sport where it is 1 on 1 and you determine your own destiny. During training you get a chance to know you,how far you can go,you know your limits. Boxing in it's essence is pure and beautiful.

Because boxing is the ultimate redemption story. Boxing doesn't care if you're rich, poor, young, old, tall, short, fat, skinny, black, white, Jewish, muslim, christian, a genius, an illiterate, (and now) a man, woman, gay, or straight.

If you've got the determination to put in the work, the bravery to partake in an act that may, hurt, disfigure, possibly kill you, and likely disable you. The heart to take punishment and accept that you'll earn a living with your hands. The mental fortitude to understand that you are partaking in the most unnatural act of taking pain as well as inflicting pain.

And then have the courage to shake your opponents hand (win or lose) in the ultimate fraternal understanding?

Thats why I love Boxing.

1) Boxing, more than any other sport, leaves nothing to chance. It's the physical equivalent of chess, but better

2) The sport constantly evolves, and the stories told are better than almost any, anywhere.

3) Because you don't 'play' boxing. You box, and you fight. A boxer IS his/her body. Nothing else involved. It's the purest of sports.

Good thread.

Anyways, because my dad was a fighter.
