Right getting hit still hurts, but seeing somebody else get hit does not hurt so bad, once you start paying to go to see a boxing match. I'm not REALLY against boxing let people do what they want to do. But I think the viewpoint that it idolizes knocking other people out is worth bringing into the discussion. Ali was the greatest but even he suffered brain damage because of boxing I believe. And then Tyson was the greatest but he was violent even outside the ring.
Do you think Tyson was violent outside the ring because of boxing? I think due to his upbringing and history before boxing, I don't think it is the boxing to blame.
