I just couldn't see them leaping about with clunky boxing gloves strapped to their fists, and nothing in the ring to jump off on.
They can't punch on the back of their opponent (so back, back of the head etc), they must be standing with both feet on the mat when they punch, no punching below the waist, their head must always be above the waistline of their opponent.....not sure how much their agility will help. Sure, it WILL help, but their agility levels will still be handicapped by the rules.
Oh no, not in terms of their weight - but I was thinking of Daredevil/Nightwing being unable to do things like handstands and leaping into the air etc. Becoming grounded, as it were.
Do you guys realize that everything Ted has ever accomplished has been done by using his fists and physical ability only? Do you know what his damage soak and strength is like on panel due to this fact?.....I didn't think so.
I'll point out that they fight with their feet on the ground a lot of the time anyway, and there's nothing in the boxing rules that prevents them from leaping around if they want to.
Mobility is very much a thing in boxing, and Matt especially has boxing as one of his two primary styles.
Boxing is a martial art, and the purpose of the gloves is purely to protect your hands while the puncher hits *harder*.
If a martial artist is a striker type- like, oh, every single one of them here- then it doesn't hinder their punches in the slightest.
