Beautiful Boxing Women

To put it mildly, boxing is a rough sport.
It's hard to stay beautiful with other people constantly trying to re-arrange your face.
But with it's inclusion in the 2012 Olympics, you can expect to see more and more women become interested in "The Sweet Science".
Here are a few women that have gotten into, and out of, the ring with their looks intact.

Despite their feminine beauty, I have no desire to be on the receiving end of a punch from one of these gorgeous female Boxers. Possibly, their punch would have less Newtons than a punch from a similar mass male Boxer. But, a women's punch is still going to hurt.

Many of these ladies actually became boxers out of the girls with beauty myth that looks were all they had to go on so they excelled in the area of knockin em out in the ring. great hub..

I remember early in Laila's career she fought the daughters of two of her fathers nemesis, Joe Frazier and George Foreman. She beat both of them soundly. I think some of boxing skills are genetic. I enjoyed reading your Hub on these splendid female athletes.
