boxers are highly tuned to a degree not known in other sports,<br />they ply their skills alone, and there is nowhere to hide.<br /><br />they need to be in top physical condition and unrelentingly brave.<br /><br />if you take the endurance of a tennis player, the courage of a racing car driver<br /><br />the sensibility of an actor, the continued disipline of the long distance runner,<br />mix those ingredients together and you are on the way to knowing what it takes to be a boxer.
