Re: Is It Time To Ban Boxing?
As an ex boxing fan, I think the sport is slowly curtailing itself. The heady days have gone, and most mainstream folks probably don't know who is the champ at any given weight. I'm not sure it was ever a "Noble Sport", and as for giving potential young thugs a direction for their anger was always a ludicrous proposition. I think given time, the lack of public thirst for the spectacle will see the sport resigned to the hard core few, and as such legislation would not be necessary.Re: Is It Time To Ban Boxing?

If it was banned, i suspect it would go underground and we woulld be back to the bareknuckle days without any of the protection it has these days.Re: Is It Time To Ban Boxing?
I hate this mentality of wrapping everyone up in cotton wool, if two men want to beat each other to a pulp at the risk of death or brain damage then why not, as long as they only do it by their own free will and only to one another. Why just pick on boxing and not deep sea diving or space exploration or walking to the South Pole? All pastimes which I find ridiculous but life without any form of danger would be boring indeed.....Re: Is It Time To Ban Boxing?
