Why are Catholics such lengendary boxers?

[The Scientist]

I think the reason Catholics are such good boxers is because of all that early 'sparring' they get trying to fight off the pedo priests.

Muhammad Ali?!? Bernard Hopkins?!? Iron Mike?!?!?

I'll tell you why Tyson is a captivating boxer. First of all because in his early career there's a sublimity to him that is par excellence but in his late career because in the darkness of mens souls darkness resonates to them because of sin it cant make anybody happy only miserable but for some it finds resonance this is the attractiveness of modern Tyson.

Yay for being Agnostic! I'm a firm believer that certain Religions are ruining the modern world. Go figure something meant to bring inner peace and love could be warped into something that puppets governments, causes genocide and promotes inequality. Go Religion!

It would perhaps be easier if chaos theory was true and we could all just be agnostic but it's not the case. It's not the law of universe instead it's just part of the broadd path that leads to doom destruction and misery and slavery.

Why all the talk of religion on a boxing forum as for Iron Mike Tyson let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

So for the second time [the pharisees]summoned the man who had been blind and said:speak the truth before god.
We know this fellow is a sinner"whether or not he is a sinner' i do not knownce i was blind know i can see".John-4 24:26

Religion is a good moral compass to those who need it and that's pretty much it in my eyes.

That's true but it's also a sin to watch a man go to his destruction and do nothing to help him.

I agree but dont we all worship one god or the buda dont see why boxers should be the topic of religion.

Lets just ask who are the top 10 Catolic fighters ever

Any act in the world is the will of God & fighters fight to be champ & go out like a champ.

Ps Most boxers come from a poor background im sure they made it because of there belief in themselves as well as god.

Anyway's is it fair to ask do you live in Ireland or where and come on any Irish boxing fan knows we won 3 medals at the olympics.
