MestaMachine, you are absolutely correct. Boxing analogies do not apply; nor do analogies from any other sport.
If people want some comparable analogies, they need to study Operation Overlord, Operation Fortitude, Operation Dragoon, etc., etc.
The fight ahead is more akin to the retaking of Fortress Europe, than it is comparable to any or all sporting endeavors. This is not a game, and many millions of lives are at stake, as well as the future of Western Civilization.
I'm listening to the Michele Bachmann Speech at Iowans for Tax Relief Event - 1/21/2011 and her speech is extremely pertinent to this topic and this discussion. I highly recommend that everyone debating here watch this; please watch this.

The Integrity Gap, Part I of III: Gov. Sarah Palin
I absolutely believe this. We are at the end of an age here. We MUST be ready to go forward as a lamp unto the world.
All this time, I have refrained from attaching spiritual or religious connotations to Sarah Palin. I thought maybe some of the rhetoric and comparisons were a tad much. As time has passed, that thinking has changed. So, for the first time I see a comparison that suits her beyond anything I have seen anywhere.
She is not a saviour. She is a leader. I believe G-d has chosen and tested her with fire and flame and she stands ready.
If I was to compare her to a biblical figure, based on everything I have seen, I would choose Moses.
