    Has any boxer ever won a belt while having the flu?

    Anyone know? I would pull out if I had the flu, it makes me feel so much weaker. I think I have it right now unless I just have a hardcore cold that is making me feel incredibly weak and making me cough.

          Man today I didn't show up at the gym and stayed home instead because of the flu. I think I caught it about 2 days ago when running. (or maybe it's a cold Idk)

          I sparred yesterday for 4 rounds, and since the first round started I felt very weak and empty. Today it got worse. My whole body feels like **** and my balls have this funny feeling (idk what the **** that is but they feel weak lol)

          I decided to stay home and recover till monday though. I didn't wanna go there today and make it worse. I didn't want to lose weight as well because that's what happens when you train while being sick

            if you had the actual influenza virus you would likely collapse halfway through a round. people generalize the flu alot. it isnt anything like a cold at all. ive had it twice and i almost died the first time from dehydration. it doesnt kill 36,000 people a year for nothing.

                I can believe the flu hurts out of shape ppl for the most part, and theirs definitely more then 36,000 out of shape ppl in the world.

                    it doesnt help if your out of shape it mostly has to do with your respiratory system. people that have HIV or any autoimmune disorder are at risk with the flu..which i have none of and im in decent shape but i was so sick that i didnt even wanna drink fluids and i became dehydrated and passed out..i didnt even know what was going on i was so out of it from the dehydration and i had a fever of 104.
