    I think a gay boxer would do alright. It might seem odd for such a macho sport, but not all homos are walking leotard wearers.

    You have more faith in humanity than I do. We are afraid, quivering and small-minded, the human race. There are those of us who have been bold enough to grow beyond our respective comfort zones but they are far and few between. We are often not honest--with other people and ourselves--and will act contrary to the things we 'believe'.

    Most of the homophobes have been weeded out of boxing from a promoter standpoint.
    You want a big pre-fight show
    Well guess what side of the tracks alot of your dancers play on
    You want to promote female fights?
    Well guess what again
    Notice,when Emile Griffith finally came out,the reaction of the boxing community was,"Oh, tell us something we dont know"

    TM, I hope you're right and I'm wrong. But the truth of it is in other pro sports where gay athletes wait until retirement before coming out and the comments of other players regarding gays in the locker room I don't think they would be accepted. I don't think most fans would accept them. It's not like acting where you're half suspicious of most of them, it's sports. Something heterosexual men wish they could do at that level, idolizing, adoring, examining, and envying those athletic bodies in a pseudo-sexual manner they would never admit. I think a gay athlete would make them confront those emotions and it makes them uncomfortable with what was already floating in the backseat of their minds.

    Why the fuk would a boxer want to be openly gay anyways? I mean, it's not like there are many openly straight boxers are there? Ninety Five percent of the fighters we have no idea about their sexuality, anyways.

    But what's the assumption always? Heterosexual. And he bangs lots of chicks. We have to acknowledge that if he's gay he's probably banging a lot of dudes. A friend of mine is a gay and he told me it is extremely easy for two dudes to hook up.

    What you say about it being easy for two guys to hook up is probably true, but irrelevant to the question, about being openly gay in boxing or any other sport. And I might well ask you "What assumption". Do you really think the majority of boxing fans make assumptions about, or even give a moment's thought to, the sexuality of their favorite boxer? Or who he's banging? I would respectfully suggest that a big name fighter needs to focus on what he does, which is boxing, and not make any kind of a public issue about his sexuality. Cause it really ain't anyone's business but his own.

    I think its alot worse in football,there's alot more of that macho Marine attitude,in football. Boxing the fighter gets so deep in to their training,I dont think they think about anything other then hitting the other guy.
    Half the time,they barely know anything about the guy theyre going to fight except what the gameplan in the ring is going to be.
    And from the promoter/management point of view,I honestly could care less,Id book a guy if he's good,I dont care what his sex life is like,truthfully most of the time I just dont even want to know.All I want to know is that when I send you to wherever to where Im sending you,you wont get in trouble with a hooker,and I dont really care about the sex of the hooker,I just dont want there to be one for this trip.

    From a comedy standpoint I think it could be a hilarious.

    I can think of nothing funnier in the entire world than a raging homosexual, camp beyond measure but a world class boxer at the same time.

    I'm picturing a muscular black gay like Lafayette from True Blood, coming to the ring with pink shorts, pink mouth guard, eyeliner and red lipstick and fighting with an extremely camp style that nobody has seen before but that is extremely effective.

    How funny would it be to watch fighters you hate getting owned by a queer with his own uniquely camp fighting stance?

    On a side not however no openly gay man should ever fight in MMA, that would turn my stomach

    So as long as they don't come out it's okay with you? Nothing is going to be funnier when one of those guys gets a raging boner in those short-shorts after he gets through grounding and pounding his opponent.

    We've had JMM and Calzaghe jokes yet this didn't pull a Paulie Malignaggi reference? Granted he's not world class...

    IOn all seriousness I think their only problem would be securing fights...For some reason even to thins day there is a phobia about Gay males and the fact that every gay man wants to bang every man they see so any contact means it is a sexual advance....

    Skill wise there is no difference either they can fight or they can't just like anyone else...If they were not better then average though it would be a social disaster

    I can just see Michael Buffer minutes before the fight announcing....

    "Lets get ready for Bumhole" ...!!!!!!

    If i were a fighter and i managed to lose to a sausage jockey i swear i'd have to take my own life.

    Wasn't Alan Mincer a merchant of the backdoor?

    Holyfield is one of the few boxers to ever still be mentioned on sportscenter or other sports shows, him coming out would be news, its absurd to argue otherwise.

    The worst thing possible for boxing would be Holyfield getting permanently injured or worse in a fight. That seems besides the point but the point is that's because he's still one of boxing's few big names.

    It would be dangerous for a fighter to be openly gay.

    Fucked as it is, it is like losing to a woman at any type of sporting activity - you just can't let it happen. And guys that do lose to women get slaughtered.

    So a gay guy would just extra motivate fighters to bash him.
