Two shirtless guys who put on gloves, fight for a belt and at the end get a purse--what's not to love?

Well there's definitely a homoerotic element to boxing.. for some

Especially when Ruiz or Hatton fight. Still it's nowhere near as homoerotic as MMA. Even the name - MMA:Male-Male Action, and lots of man on man BJJ.

My favorite part of boxing....

When it's a big PPV fight, and the national anthem ends, and the crowd roars, and then there's about a 5-10 second pause.... and then you hear Jim Lampley say, "TALE OF THE TAPE...."

I LOVE that moment, it never ever gets old. After all the hype and all the talk, at that moment you know the fighters are finally about to walk to the ring and face off.

That's my favorite moment whenever I tune in to watch a big fight.

Wait for it...

I guess like many have posted. It was Teddy Atlas said the only sport were you can't call a timeout and have a substitue come in for you. Also it is the simplest of sports to understand knock the other silly.

I've been a great boxing fan from when i was a youngster(about 6-7year old)I started taking up boxing as a amateur at me local gym when i was 10 or 11.Im just a great fan of boxing now and will be till the end of time!
what i love about the boxing game is that it's a total art form in its own right.I mean the sweet science of it all is just fantanticphysical and mental skills are always both applied in each round of each fight!It's how all settlements should be sorted out!!!

Boxing is a great ART FORM

Simple reason is that I don't have the skill to play any other sport like basketball, football, tennis etc. I’m always outcast on those sports. Boxing was introduced to me during the Ali-Frazier era. I was amaze to see two people hurting each other and they are not afraid to get hit in the face and body. As my interest in boxing growing, I discover many things about it. Boxing helps me exercise in confronting my fears during my childhood. School bullies are very common during those times and I was once being pick on for fun. I manage to defend myself and retaliate back and they never try to make fun of me again. But my dream to become a boxer never came to fruition due to lack of time and courage.. hehehe..

I was thinking about that... what about tag-team boxing? That would be AWESOME!
