I really like the respect of boxers, most people think it's a 'dumb sport' and 'dumb' people do it but it involves a lot of skill and all the boxers I've met are lads.

This is MMA tho.
But yes. In combat sports, people really respect their opponents. I know that, because I was in Kickboxing and our coach really used to emphasise on respecting opponents and playing fairly. Those coaches who don't do that or teach their students evil things are not worthy to be called teacher. They are just a bad person teaching bad things to children. Jackie Chan said this in The Karate Kid (obviously the new one)
And Secondly.
WHO THINKS BOXING IS DUMB? THEY ARE DUMB.
Sorry, MMA not boxing but the principles are the same. As to who calls it dumb, lots of people who like @funkmasterrex said, only see the violence and the 'brutality' of the sport and think that people only do it because they don't have intelligence thus use their strength to compensate. I used to think like that when I was younger actually until I met some kickboxers and watched interviews and did fighting myself.

It requires dedicated, discipline, determination, strength and much more. It's not easy. The training is intense. One needs to be physically and mentally healthy to be a good fighter. People who think that it is dumb and see it in that light, should really change their attitude. And I would even suggest that one should enrol their child to at least one type of Martial Art. It really helps in maintaining discipline and also they learn self defence.
