is boxing evil?

[Frighteous]

do you guys think boxing is an evil venture?

I got a friend of mine telling me it's evil because every time you box, you're slowly killing yourself and that's inherently evil. I told him you kill yourself a little bit every time you take a drink, too...(he's an alcoholic lol)

Kind of yea, it is a cut throat business that is very unforgiving.

You slowly kill yourself when you get tackled by a 300 lb linemen as well.

I think your friend needs to look up the word "evil" in the dictionary. I think the word he may be thinking of is "dangerous" or perhaps even "******." Saying boxing is evil because of the health risks is just ****** and makes him sound ****** as well.

That aspect of boxing can definitely be defined as evil.

That is why I try not to get bent out of shape over that part of the sport, you got to do what you got to do or you are going to get taken advantage of badly.

The only thing evil in boxing is Darth Arum.

most evil cutthroat I ever seen on the world level , was when Don K went into the Benn fight with G-Man, then after Gman lost and is lying in his corner in a coma, Don goes over to Benn and celebrates with him

I disagree there are not a lot of happy endings in boxing.

I don't see why it should be considered evil. Fighters consent to it and I assume most are aware of the risks. The only thing "evil" about the sport are the promoters.
