What boxing gloves are better title or everlast?

Everlast; I once laced on a pair from the 1940's, or whatever decade the company got started, all I remember is that the gloves were extremely old. Despite their age though they BARELY had a hole in the knuckle area. You ever put on 50 year old boxing gloves before? Its a pretty surreal feeling.

Why did the Undisputed title unify back into the WWE title and the World Heavyweight title?

Because, it was to much of a hassle to have one guy, be on Raw one week and Smackdown later the same week. He would, most likely, have major jet lag, pretty much all the time, considering Raw is live, on Monday, and Smackdown is taped on Tueday and airs on Friday. Besides you can't have a storyline with the heavyweight Champ, if he's bouncing around and it wouldn't add up, on why the Champ is facing the #1 contender he faces. Each feud, you see, is a storyline, and the storyline tells you why the guys are fighting eachother. It doesn't make sense, if everyone but the Heavyweight Champ, has a storyline. The only way it would be undisputed, again, would be to unify Raw and Smackdown. The problem with unifying Raw and Smackdown is: less storylines, less wreslters, and you can miss one show and watch the next to see what you missed, so WWE would lose money in the long run. You need competition to keep fans interested, which is why the "Monday night Wars" made the biggest profit, for both WWE and WCW. TNA isn't big enough yet, to make a difference, so Raw and Smackdown will remain seperate. I personally hope it stays that way, both shows are great, in their own unique way, which is the reason, I watch both each and every week, never missing a show. Brock Lesnar signed with Smackdown while he was the Undisputed Champ so RAW needed a title.

What is more dangerous kickboxing or boxing?

Either one can be equally as dangerous when applied by an expert. Judo uses the opponent's force to off-balance, and throw to the ground with very devastating impact that could end a fight with one toss. The joint locks of Judo can cause severe injury, and the various choke holds can quickly knock someone unconscious, or even cause death.

In Taekwondo, the focus is on utilizing the laws of motion in nature, and scientific principles of power to strike with the hands, feet, knees, and elbows. Each blow from a Taekwondo expert has the potential to break bones, dislocate joints, cause severe internal damage, result in a knock out, or even cause death. The powerful kicks of Taekwondo are the most destructive weapon of unarmed combat, and can be employed with such speed and accuracy that even an expert opponent would be wise to avoid. Taekwondo also utilizes throws and grappling when necessary, but concentrates on spoiling the opponent's throws, and escaping or releasing from holds while manipulating joints and limbs for pain and injury, and striking at close range.

Each of these two arts are potentially harmful and deadly, and should be respected by both the practitioners, and opponents alike. These skills should never be misused or treated lightly.
