I think because when boxing was an unofficial sport, spectators would form a ring around the fighters.

A boxing ring was originally circular, the reason the boxing ring was circular was so the devil couldn't hide in the corners, hence why I wasn't square, something like that anyway!.

Perhaps my post wasn't that clear. pose a question OR answer one that has been posted its your choice, just thought it would be fun (or not)
Here's another:- Could you imagine a world without hypothetical questions?

If a tree falls over in a forest, and there is no one to hear it, will the Daily Mail ever publish a news story worth reading?

Only if they can prove welfare cheats did it so they could take the wood home and burn it to avoid paying heating bills.

If I blow on my hand my breath is cold but if I huff on my hand it warm - WHY

Presuming you mean blowing as in like a silent whistle- when you huff a volume of air warmed by your lungs comes out and gently flows over your hand whose clever nerve endings detect the warmth. In the blowing scenario you exhale the same volume of air through a smaller aperture which means it must come out far faster. This results in a cooling effect as the fast moving air forces evaporation of the tiny amount of moisture present on your skin.
You can try blowing with a huff or a 'whistle' and widening/narrowing your mouth until you find the tipping point where these effects exactly cancel each other.

Mainly due to the venturi effect.
