The Boxer

[GoldenRivet]

Hypothetical Situation

Lets say you want to be a professional boxer.

Your only goal in life... your dream... is to become a world class fighter known to all around the globe. To take relentless beatings to the face, head and torso day in and day out all for the sake of the title.

and someone - we will just say God - told you:

"Ok... you will be one of the best fighters in your class, almost everyone in the boxing world will know your name, the glory and the money and the girls and the golden gloves... all yours... everything you ever wanted out of this dream of yours will come true...


... but you will die as a result of the lifestyle before you see your 26th birthday."

would you do it?

Francisco Rodriguez Dead at age 25

I have never understood why these men have the desire to climb into a boxing ring, or an MMA cage or any other arena and rather pointlessly beat the living crap out of one another's heads.

his fatal injury no doubt the result of repeated blows to the head.

why?

Sorry to boxing fans but i have never seen this as sport... and i have never understood it.
