6. It's a curious sport.

Boxing is primal, sometimes brutal. And boxers tend to be complicated figures outside of the ring. There are people -- even on this forum -- who have a strong dislike for boxing. But when there is a great fight, with social-political implications, everyone pays attention.

Thanks!
