Will India ever get in the Boxing Game?

[frosty-g]

From my understanding Indian government has currently banned boxing

Here in the UK we have a Boxing Gym in just about every town in some towns 2 or 3...

in a country like India they dont have such privileges

Facilities are important, as well as coaches and trainers with knowledge of the sport.

boxing or pro boxing?
don't people on here watch any amateur boxing?
obviously not given the indians are pretty damn good at that

regards coaches and trainers, well yeah they only have a group of cubans running things over there for them...
(well i dunno they do RIGHT NOW but for a long time they have done)

India only need one boxer & that is Vijender Singh!

They have over a billion people yet i dont remember ever seeing an Indian boxer. China is finally getting started, will India ever enter the boxing world?

Kinda odd that a country with so many people hasnt had someone make it in the boxing world.

It's not just boxing, I don't ever recall a sports that the people in India was involved in?? I mean if u look at all the other countries even the poor countries u will see that their people is into some type of sports whether it's soccer or something else.

Some odd comments about cricket.....any guy who can throw a hard ball at me at 95mph and get it to hit me in the head is an athlete who needs to be respected. Michael Holding, Dennis Lillee, Malcolm Marshall and Allan Donald were not guys to be pissed around with.....if you did, you took your teeth and ribs home in a carrier bag. Serous dudes with bad intentions and they did not spend their time enjoying a nice cup of tea.

Once they do, Arum will be all over it.
Expect him to try and sign one if they medal next Olympics

[AgainstTheRopes]

They have a decent Olympic boxing program...perhaps better than the USA's at the moment.

The U.S Program sucks

[Art-illery]

Indians, Pakistani's etc suck at combat sports.
In the same way that white men can't jump, Indians can't fight


(Some can, but in general terms, they suck)

East Indians defeated the Persian army tho.

You are right, they were making some progress, which was a good sign.

But as i understand it the Indian government has suspended boxing altogether, not sure why, but i remember reading this earlier in the year


The more countries that embrace boxing the better for the sport, to think their is another Pacman in some village somewhere looking for a way out
