Boxing

Take this question seriously.

I was dubious about this branch of the sport, until I started watching female fighters when Don King began featuring women fighters, particularly Christy Martin, in the mid nineties.
These chicks are serious athletes.
As one who has trained fighters, I can tell you unequivocably that the best fighters I ever coached were women.
Learn faster, easier to train and far more aggressive than their male counterparts. I mean that.

The greatest female fighter that ever lived is Lucia Rijkers from Holland.
If any of you saw 'Million Dollar Baby', she's the one that paralysed Hilary Swank. She has a website. Take a look at it.
She started off as a kickboxer, and has a record of 37-0 in that sport.
As a boxer she is 17-0.
Her skills are comparable to any world class male fighter's. A friend of mine sparred with her and told me she whacks almost as hard as a man.
Christy Martin's biggest break in life was when her fight with Rijkers fell through.

I know this isn't boxing, but since boxer have seen more people being knocked out than most people in martial arts. I'm wondering if this guy at very end of the clip is dead? Feel free to skip everything toward last 30 secs or so to see the guy. I normally wouldn't assume someone is dead, but few of my friends were discussing about it. So I'm curious now. Here's the video

I live in Cambridge and I am curious to know where I can find a good boxing gym. I want to learn how to box. I sorta know the moves but dont really practice them because I dont want to practice something I am not sure of.

Also I am looking for training partners if anyone is interested. Thanks.

Is it Muhammad Ali or Rocky Marciano
cause Rocky retired undefeated.......... so did Ali deserve the title the best boxer ever?

When he has blatantly ducked Margarito, his arrogance astounds me.

Jack Johnson will probably always be my all time favorite boxer, but I'm not so sure I should believe everything he said. For example he claimed in his autobiography that he singlehandedly fought off a 20 foot shark when he was 13 years old (yes in water). I have my doubts about that one...

What do you think? Was he telling the truth when he claimed he threw his fight with Willard because he thought that by doing so he could return to the US and not have to go to jail?

Can someone please list all of the weight classifications in boxing as identified by the most recognised industry body/federation?

If you could explain them in order from lightest to heaviest that would be a bonus!

Help me and my buddy settle this debate. I say Ray beats Pryor, my buddy says Pryor ko's him. If a feared puncher like Tommy Hearns couldn't knock Leonard out in 1981 when they fought, how does he think Pryor, who was a jr. welterweight, could do it? I say Leonard easily by decision. Help us out boxing fans!
