I do think you know a hell of a lot more then me about boxing even if you do not consider yourself a historian. I just think as a PRO boxer...or football player...you know you are participating in a gladiator sport. If you are hurt or killed I have no pity drag the body off lets get on with the game.
I know this may seem cold hearted but put a million dollars in front of me and...I just might take that chance...same as they do.
