from personal experience I don't blame them. I also wanted to become a boxer but I changed my mind because of all the injuries u can get and now I just train for fun and self defense. boxing is a tough sport and one injury can end ur career with that being said if u think u can become a good boxer and if that's what u want then go for it.
They say it because boxing can cause brain injures that can kill you getting pound in the many times. that hurt and nobody dont care about boxing really.But point is dont wait for your dreams to happen make them happen and continue your craft god said keep on seeking and you shall find.And dont let nobody to tell you how to run your life thats why god said its free will mean you can do what ever god please you Just put your mind to it
I don't think that boxing is an ideal sport.
The training is excellent for overall conditioning, but punches to the head in sparring and matches are very apt to cause brain damage
They think its too barbaric and violent. Mine said the same I didn't care now I'm an undefeated amateur at 16 stand at 5'10 147
Ok I'm 16 6'5 220 and very strong also play basketball. But I get upset evreyday because I work so hard in boxing I never miss a day of running or nothing. I work hard and my goal is someday be the best but my family says boxing is stupid dont be a pro. I say I have heart and they say don't be dumb boxing is for dummy's. I wish they supported me like they support me in basketball
