Boxing is dangerous, but at least it hits the right people.

Summary

This quote highlights the inherent danger in boxing as a sport but suggests that it serves its purpose by targeting those who willingly participate and consent to the risks involved. It implies that, unlike violence in other contexts, boxing directs its impact toward individuals who have made a conscious choice to engage in the sport. Thus, while acknowledging the dangers, the quote argues that boxing's recipient-focused nature distinguishes it from other forms of physical aggression.
