What do you think of professional boxing, and those 'octagon' sports.

When I was about 14 I would listen to Cassius Clay (long before Ali) box on the radio. His personality fascinated me and I admired his stance on the draft in '67. It was so sad to watch his decline from the years of abuse in the ring yet, he was The Greatest.
 

Always remember Friday night fights (our city had only one TV station and no cable service then). Gillette. How are you fixed for blades? Awwwk...Better check! And that was about as far as my interest in TV boxing went. Still wanted boxing gloves though, and a first baseman's mitt. Eventually got them both thanks to S&H Green Stamps. Pro sports of all kinds I walked away from 30 years ago, and recently I'm particularly glad I did.
