    For boxing any time a fighter dies it's a sad story. When the person had other options like this kid, somehow it's extra tragic. I suppose for most of us it's easier to accept if the person who died had extremely low odds of becoming a "success" in life.

    One of them had the potential to accomplish so much more and didn't need boxing, and the other probably would have ended up the same boat anyway so it doesn't matter. Just a statistic.

    I don't think someone has to be a total retard fuck up to consider a career in boxing but I don't have Reed's genes.

    Boxers enjoy boxing. Whether they took it up because they thought it looked cool on TV or they were forced into fighting so people could throw coins at them, it's a "hobby" that they take to. There are no lazy pacifist that become boxers because they're poor.

    You said you'd encourage your son to box if it was the only way he could be "special". Unless he's an Olympian that's guaranteed to go pro anyway the chances of him becoming "special" are pretty slim.

    I'd only encourage my son to turn pro because I thought it was his best chance at a happy life if he was retarded or a serial killer. I shouldn't talk as much as my son bumps his head.
