Is boxing too safe?

[Scott9945]

Anyone who's standing. The refs job should be to help them to their feet before the count of 10. If they are still standing then box on. As you say yourself - these are the ones who get seriously hurt. It's what the fans want to see.

Are you insane?

I thought he was serious at first but now I see it's just a joke.

Sorry but it's not funny.

We all know boxing is a dangerous sport - it is the main reason we watch it. But I am thinking that it has become too safe. With the extra medical attention at venues and pre weigh-in weigh-ins since the McClellan and Watson injuries, it just seems too safe to me. Sure there is a chance someone might get badly hurt, but it's a lot smaller than before. A bit like motor racing - with all the safety improvements, the risk is minimized.

Now I know it would be irresponsible to remove these safety measures, but one thing I'd like to see is referees not being so quick to stop fights. If the fighter can stand, let the fight continue.

after seeing footage of them tragic fights, you are a sick man.
boxing is dangerous as it is,,, and your asking for safety measures to be removed...
sickening..

I never asked for saftey measures to be removed shackle dragger. I just voiced my opinion that if a fighter can stand, then the ref shouldn't stop the fight.

I hope your joking, becuase I for one don't want to see a fighter get seriously hurt.
