Is boxing really an art form?

[deliveryman]

What a peice of pretentious horse****.

Boxing is no more of an "artform" than any other sport.

[Boogie Nights]

it's influenced by taste, and how each views the term "art"

to put into prespective, there are people who consider the work of michelangelo as art in its purest form, and pay up millions of dollars. then there are some art "enthusiasts" who see a pile of dog **** on a sidewalk, pick it up and frame it. and consider it a plain form of art and embrace it in its dense state. just to give an idea.

but boxing has it's own term and word that defines it, and that is sweet science.

what a guy like spinks does to me is below that dog **** that you see on the street, what a guy like ali did i consider sweet science. again taste

Boxing is not an art form but when it is executed beautifully and skillfully it is poetry in motion.

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

its an art but at the end of the day, its a fight

[pesticid]

Boxing is a highly sophisticated art form.

The skill level of a world class boxer is so advanced you wouldn't believe it until you tried fighting one.

If anyone think they might get lucky against a world class boxer, they're just ******.

That's an excellent argument. It reminded me of Cotto vs Gomez fight. Gomez looked like smb who thought that he might get lucky, and Cotto turned from a sophisticated brawler into a master boxer.
