Can a boxer wear headgear in a fight?

[Sweet Jesus]

I've noticed that boxers don't wear headgear in the ring, and I was wondering why some of the chinny ones, Khan and Haye, don't wear headgear to improve their chins?

Just my $0.02

Damn Einstein is that you? GREAT IDEA! And why do they wear those dumb padded gloves? I would wear some iron-knuckles with metal spi-kes! Oh and can I have a plasma laser with a built in shield for my left hand? So I can do a Plasma Jab followed by a Right Hook spi-ke?

We need some powerups during boxing, like special boosts you get randomly in rounds, like some tasers and bear mace.

Nah, I've seen real big fights with Mike Tyson and Audley Harrison with headguards man.

I'm sure we'll see it soon!

Well spotted TS!

(note to self: tweet David Haye and Amir Khan)

Sure And give em fluffy pillows instead of gloves so they can have a super duper funtime and no chance of hurting each others feelings. Because thats what boxing is about watching 2 guys not hurt each other and we all hate.... knockouts ew!

Lmao first the 10-8 thing and now this

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Sometimes I see fighters leaving their shins wide open and I don't see why their opponents don't just kick them. It'd be such an easy way to score a knockdown.

LMAO!!!

You can't be serious.
