Question

Does boxing give you a certain toughness and fearless factor?

I mean learning how to box and fight good to defend yourself if necessary. I mean to give you confidence against someone who may not be skillful in fighting or show you wouldn’t back down?

I knew someone who was a former friend of mine think cause he talked punching a wall through windows and guys he beat up in school supposed to be intimidating to me when we used to joke about fighting each other and thought he could beat me or say like man I'd beat you silly... genuinely, I thought he did because he is taller than me like he's around 6'1 or so and stronger when I'm around 5'8 or 5'9 and I'm bigger and bulky myself. I'm a strong man to lift up some people and things. The thing was he would always seem to downplay or underestimate me and think I wouldn't have a chance with him if we fought in like a boxing match or something. I'm like those guys he knocked out i am not like any of them and I know in my abilities and I know would be a war between me. Or he think I should be scared cause he go to therapy classes for his anger management or something. I be cautious but I'm not someone to be messed up with even though i like to take up boxing skills for me to learn tactics and lessons on how to fight and be in better shape.
