i think it may have to do with the "safety equipment" boxers are required to wear in some weight classes and its recognized as an Olympic sport. i agree though, if you are going to ban one, why not ban the other.

what i would rather enjoy seeing is a resurgence of Greco-Roman and/or Sumo wrestling. i mean, there's two sports that showcase the best of human strength without being violent. why isn't that on TV?
