Boxing is probably the most brutal sport there is, the objective is to beat up your opponent
who will attempt to do the seem to us.

Children with some athletic ability(not all men have this..including meBlush) will almost always chose another sport if they can.

Very good point. Middle Class people generally just don't go into boxing. Just like working class people generally don't go into tennis.

You can't necessarily make something about class when it's more about opportunity (or lack of).

People with disadvantaged backgrounds will always have more to prove, yes.

But the determination to succeed is much more complex. It comes from within, and transposes classes. Admittedly, anyone that has it way too easy is at an obvious disadvantage.

I got to top 40 in my sport but it probably wans't in me ultimately.

donny, Chris Eubank Jr is crap, with all due respect, looks great on highlight and training reels he puts out, but in reality more style over substance, lost to the two only half decent boxers he's fought, lives in his own world and without a doubt is the most delusional boxer you'll ever come across.

doantwin2easy, determination does come from within, but it's easier to be determined when everything is laid on a plate for you, it's easier to have vision. Much harder when you're working class and many more barriers/hurdles ahead of you.

Boxers have my admiration, to literally fight you way to the top from nothing commands maximum respect. Even some boxers who apper to be bellends like Fury, it's a hard man's hard man, like most true Gypsies, they'll fight anyone gloves or not.

hes not top drawer, but hes "decent"  to me, and i cant think of a better one at moment.

maybe he would have been better if he had had to scrap like his dad?

maybe too,  hes just in family job, like some other sons and daughters of boxers, so
not a good example anyway..but perhaps they offer best chance of a rich kid becoming
a decent boxer anyway.

I also object to the word crap being used to describe Eubanks jnr

Perhaps not quite up to his fathers record, but he has given it all. I like his uppercut.
His eye was damaged early in the fight against George Groves(who is pretty good himself) and it did effect him.

IBO title is practically worthless and he beat a conveyor belt of boxers who most would describe as average hand picked opponents, lost to the only two decent fighters he fought, George Groves beat him with one arm.
