    I'll say that boxing is the purest sport. Football, baseball, and (especially) basketball are all fun to play, but ****** and boring to watch. The pathetic tendancy of un-athletic losers to live vicariously through professional athletes is sad, in my opinion. And thinking of those athletes as heros, is nothing short of absurd. Most of them are greedy, childish, arrogant pricks. If people want heros, they should look at truly heroic men (and women) like astronauts, war heros, firemen, rescue swimmers, etc.
    Not only firemen and war heroes are true heroes though. To some it is just a job. Just like boxers, there are some who love to fight and some who do it for the paycheck.

    Floyd Mayweather does a tremendous amount of charity work and gives away a lot of his money. Muhammad Ali was a hero in every aspect, he even appeared next to superman.

    But these two come nowhere near Joe Louis. Louis' story is probably the greatest and saddest story I've seen. He was also probably the greatest human being of the century.

      How the hell did this become about astronauts????

      Anyways, boxing is not the best sport for the sole reason that often the best do not fight one another. Football, baseball, hockey, etc...all have a playoff system with a final game and a true champion.
