Your favorite thing about boxing?

For me its the ability of one fighter beating the other due to a variety of factors, which may include technique, power, heart, natural talent, rigorous training, etc... How a man through lots of training and technique can beat a stronger/power puncher/brawler and vice versa... the styles makes fights thing, and the ability to impose the style over the other.


Here in PR (and in most countries) there's also the nationalistic factor when our fighters fight, which is the reason I got into boxing in the first place.

Ring girls! Naw, just kidding. It's the most manly sport in my opinion.

My favorite thing is that NOTHING sports wise for me compares to a great fight. Give me the greatest Super Bowl ever, the greatest NBA Finals or World Series, give the greatest from any sport, and I'd rather watch two great boxers push themselves and bring out the best they can possibly give.

Only one answer per person. What is your favorite thing about the sport? I'll start and my favorite thing is, boxing is like the ultimate playoff system. If fighter A beats fighter B more times than not fighter A moves on to a stiffer competition until the playoff bracket moves to the top dawg.

Mayweather beats Marquez, Cotto beats Pacquaio, Mayweather then fights Cotto. This system in the sport when it's working properly is one of the most exciting things to me about the sport. Not only do you get hyped for the present fight but you also get hyped up for the potential fights between the victors.

Some people cheat the system tho

The part for me is the heart people have, the people that will take on any challenge even if they know the odds are completeeeely against them and the chances are they are going to lose (like marquez vs mayweather) ... Just to see how much it means to people and their fans (hatton) .. he was devastated after his losses...after i saw him on the floor against pac..tears already in his eyes before the count started..thats probs the saddest ive felt watching a boxing match..

..I love to see warriors, just seeing them in the ring, kinda gives you a perspective of what kinda person they are outside of the ring, like the people that would stand up for some1 even if they know they gonna get their ass kicked and they dont even kno the person they are helping.....
