The configuration and construction of the "traditional" ring closely resembles that of a boxing ring, though the wrestling ring has three ring ropes, one fewer than the standard boxing ring.[1] In addition, the ring ropes are not tethered together at their midpoint, making them less taut than boxing ropes. Most (if not all) wrestling rings also incorporate more in the way of padding and shock-absorbing construction than boxing rings, although this varies according to the preferences of the promoter.
