Girls boxing, your views

not really no. Most of the guys I know that box you wouldn't know from seeing their face, and guys get hit a lot harder than girls do. Broken noses are pretty rare

I want to box a woman

Are you a women that has resigned herself to the fact that things such as rape are going to happen? Surely it is better to stop people raping than kicking the crap out of them when they do. And even if the women does box, there are very few women (even boxing ones) who could stave of a genuine attack even from an average built guy

At the risk of sounding chauvanistic (which im not), i dont personally think women should compete. If for fitness then sure go for it, but there is something really unattractive (in my view) about women throwing punches

Really?
I would have thought that a broken nose would have been a pretty common injury in even amateur boxing, as it doesn't take much force to break someone's nose. Unless they wear those head guards with the nose bar/protection?

Noses don't break easily when the other person is wearing 10oz gloves (and 14-16 outside of actual bouts) trust me

Some of you are suggesting that women aren't physically built for boxing, but is anyone. Yeah men have more muscle but you only get that trough training and even though males do have more muscle, women have an extra layer of adipose tissue (fat) which will provide more protection. With training women will also build muscle as well as different techniques that will help them to defend them selfs.

So what do you guys think about girls boxing? should they just do it for fitness or should they compete?

It is dangerous as well as unattractive. There is a reason women used to stay in the home and look after children, and that is because they are genetically unsuited to physically confrontation. Dont get me wrong, I am not advocating women stay home in this day and age but boxing is a sport females are genetically not built for and to compete under the banner of equality and pseudo feminism is not only dangerous but foolish. That is the reason why fighting women such as the Amazons or Boudiccea are so remarkable, it goes against the natural way of things.
