Because when the boxing ring is square this give it bigger look to boxers, then they feel comfortable when fight.

I believe the boxing ring, like that of most Greco-Roman combat sports, used to be an actual ring, much like that used in amateur wrestling. To enclose that ring, it evolved into a four-sided "squared circle"--perhaps because the number of posts you would use to need to make an enclosure truly circular would be prohibitive. Some wrestling rings have six sides; ultimate fighting rings generally have eight.

boxing rings are square because boxers need space 2 box and if it was a circle they would not have any corner 2 go 2

Because that is their shape, you know? All sides equal length?
Actually it's because if there were rings, or some other shape, boxers would not be able to square off! Hee hee!

when you fight, you try to force your opponent into a corner, if the ring was a circle, you wouldnt be able to do that. "ring" means a place where boxing matcher are held.

because the person who thought the game up was blind and so couldn't tell the difference between squares and circles
