    Boxing with Aids

    http://espn.go.com/


    There's like 5 articles on the main page of ESPN all about Boxing.

    I can't even remember when the last time that happened was!!!

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I went to ESPN.com and front page picture was a boxer. Then you read the headline to find out what it's really about.

    I don't remember but was Tarver/Jones 2 on the front page when Roy got knocked out?? I didn't check that day.

      ...Hey, maybe a fervor will start that will alllow guys with the HIV to box again. Could put Tommy Morrison right back in the mix.

        I think having guys fight with HIV is really risky for their opponent. If these guys get cut, the other guy wont even come out of their corner to fight, that is if the guy with HIV can even get a fight. It does suck these guys got HIV, but i don't think it should be allowed in the sport of boxing.

          I agree, they shouldn't be allowed in any sport where there is a potential of bleeding

              Regardless of that, boxers bleed all each other on the regular. There is not way that HIV positive guys should be able to fight, it is just too big a risk.
