    You're absolutely right when you say that boxing fans should be happy that the sport is 75th and not any higher. But I still find it hilarious that the "hurtin business" doesn't actually hurt that much compared to other sports.

        It's not I race dirt bikes and box amatuer , I have broken bones in my back , ankle, wrist ,shoulders had several concussions and in boxing I've hurt my hand . People have died and been paralysed fairly often racing dirt bikes so it's defantly more dangerous as long as you count it as a proper sport

            Seriously golf is 16th and boxing is 75th...what a joke. I once borrowed my friends golf shoes which were to small and I got a heel blister...that's is probably the only way you can get hurt playing golf.

                Btw if baseball is above boxing I completely agree.

                There's so many injuries in baseball, there are some hilarious ones too. I believe one guy couldn't pitch because "he stayed up playing Guitar Hero for too long and sprained his arm."

                      I wonder how they list that on the injury report.

                      P John Doe left game with moth ear. Return is questionable.
