Make boxing safer by using head-gear and heavy gloves

[leff]

Why not require head-gear and heavier gloves to professional boxing, as they do in amateur boxing?

This will give an edge to boxers who have skills, but will make things a lot safer.

totally disagree, this is mans sport not ballet.

and boxing has much less deaths than for example fotball.

as someone said earlier, its the ability to end a fight at any time that makes it so exiting.

head gear and bigger gloves need to be left in amateur boxing..what profesional boxing needs is more educated refs and better ringside doctors because they are the ones that can stop a fight .they should have to take some type of course on a yearly basis approved by all athletic comissions which covers all aspects of when a fight should be stoped..

I agree completely. Actually they should wear pillows and just have pillow fights, with headgear of course. Pillows can hurt, especially if you bite down too hard on them. Just ask the Cooler.
