Boxing: Good Sport or Barbaric

my answer is actually both

i mean i think it it the barbaric nature of it that attracts most fans

how cool is it that 2 people will bash each others brains in just for money, fame, and our amusement

at the same time, is there any athelete from any other sport that trains harder ?

Re: Boxing: Good Sport or Barbaric

Any type of athletic fighting (boxing, martial arts, mixed martial arts) is a sport. It's two guys who dedicate their lives to keeping their bodies in the best possible condition. When they're in the ring/cage, they use training to win.

Of course it can be barbaric in nature, but it's not like it's cruel punishment.

Its way to barbaric for me and thats being said by a bullriding fan. For two grown men to stand and punch the s*** out of each other makes no sense to me. They have conccurred nothing but to beat the brains out of the other person.

I can see how someboday could say its barbaric, but as long as both parties agree to do it, have at it! I used to like boxing, but as I say about Nascar, it just not what it used to be.
