I have been boxing for 2 years, and I don't want to stop. Do you practice or do you prefer to watch it? My friends say that it's to risky, but I don't mind. Do you agree with that?

i like to watch it if its on. but i saw a dvd of old fights at my mates the other day. much better than the current ones. they actually came out swinging in the old days.

as to the risk? meh, theres risk in all sport.

Think boxing is slightly riskier than badminton...but hey ho!

Massive fan of both watching and getting in the ring. Had three fights record is W1 - L1 - 1NC.

So a pretty even batch!

Think that the current batch of fighters can be found in the lighter weights to middle weights - I don't even bother watching the heavies any more.

Favourite fighters of all time and favourite fights have to be anything involving Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and (to a lesser extent as I always thought he was a bit of an a******) Sugar Ray Leonard.

I prefer to watch it, because I don't play it and if I did I'd get clobbered. I usually catch the classic matches when they're on ESPN.

LMFAO XD

If it was me taking that shuttlecock in the face, I'd have hit the deck like a sack of spuds!

One of my friends has the same problem. He can't do a thing without his glasses, and he has problems to fight with them on. Once we saw in a store a pair of "googles", but they were really expensive.

I agree with RMA, lighter weights' fights are way cooler than heavier's. In my gym at least the best matches that I have seen are lighter weights. I'm training to become middle weight soon, so I'm working out everyday.

I train, but I probably won't step into the ring to fight anytime soon. Been boxing as exercise for over a year now. Absolutely love the sport, watch it all the time. Can't wait for the upcoming Klitschko fight.
