Think about it.
"That's cruel". Is it? Why is it? If it's cruel, then you're saying it's not cruel to watch and encourage 'normal' people to pummel each other until they end up either unconcious or vegetative like Michael Watts, useless like Mohammed Ali or invisible like Prince Naseem.
So why is it ok to let mentally sufficient people batter themselves stupid, but as soon as somebody suggests putting a couple of Downs Syndrome blokes in the ring, everybody gets sqeamish?
Mongs are people too, why deny them the right to fight simply because your morals twinge? They live independantly, work, play and do everything you or I do. And they do it with a big vacant smile and noises of appreciation.
Who's to say they wouldn't like to opportunity to earn an extremely good living by smashing each other in the ovoid face?
And c'mon, it's an established fact that they have the strength of ten men when riled, so you're promised a spectacular bout.
Stop the kneejerk reaction and try to deny it would be incredibly entertaining. You'd make a fortune for PPV events, licensing would be a given with t-shirts (Snuggly, photoshop a Mong Victory Tshirt), and the tie-in videogame would be the best ever.
And also it would give The Daily Mail something else to scream about other than darkies and bummers.

Politically incorrect laughter rang out at this one.
This whole thread reminds me of the Timmargh episode in South Park actually. Uhh...that is meant as a compliment.

Why not arrange Mong-Pundit prizefights? I for one would pay through the nose to see a windowlicker tag team mashing Richard Littlecock into a red paste.
I work for the WRVS and we get some guys that help in my shop that aren't erm 100% but they're some of the nicest, happiest people I've met.
And they would all destroy me at boxing

ten-times-worse?
-----------
I dont know about suffering, the ones I've seen (and anybody that frequented the East Site Harlow College between '89 & '91 will remember "Jim Dunk", the bullet-headed mongoloid who laughed and ran around a lot) seems perfectly cheerful and normal enough to me. We may think they suffer, but we're the same culture that thinks it's cruel for an elderly husband to suicide-assist his wife of 50years because nor he or she can bear to see her in that pain - so I'd personally say hold off on the sympathetic orchestra.
However you may have a point with the media - but then I'd be more inclined to be "patriotic" if we had a mongoloid world boxing champ. The Sun with a cut-out-and-keep picture of The Champ, grinning fiercely in windows up and down the land, t-shirts bearing the Benny. It would sum up our green and pleasant land.
But why stop there? Why not have Big Brother 5/6/whatever with a house full of Downs people? It'd be a massive ratings winner.
I think to dispel any prejudice and sniggering, if we integrated them completely it would relieve any "Mummy, why is his face so doughy?" reactions from kids.
Just imagine the possibilties. Mong Soap Operas, Top of The Mongs (with thrash-metal bands comprised completely of furious bennies), Mong News.
What a glorious era for television that would be.
And if we got bored, they could always fight bears.
Especially Meka Dragons reply.
Should it be so commercialised, though? Would it be morally right to have this kind of sport up on the same level as the 'real' thing?
They are human beings; they deserve to have their dignity. They suffer enough as it is. Should the large-scale media really be bought in, seeing as they have these tendencies to make anything ten-times-worse?
> chances are that the pole vault could turn into accidental jousting
And that's my new tagline, folks.
