Boxing ranks as the most athletic sport requiring the most athletic attributes

[boliodogs]

Of course. The boxer can knock the other athletes out if they don't like the way the rankings turned out.

Where is the actual raw data and how did he arrive to these conclusions....

Anyone can design a spread sheet on excel and put it up on a website.

I want to see SOURCES on the data that is shown because in this day an age unless i see raw data to back up the metrics i call bull**** on it.

Boxers from a athletic perspective are jack of all trades.

It's not a 'he' but a group of sports scientist that have PhD's in sports science. They've analysed all the sports and gave a ranking to each athletic attribute numerically to every sport with 10 being the highest / best of an athletic attribute. I understand that it isn't 100% accurate, but that's negligible and it still provides valuable information. and it's really not that hard to believe why boxing would rank top of all other sports, even without needing to look at those stats.

Boxing is the most dangerous sport and develops the character in a man the best.

The reason why boxing is the most dangerous is not because of the number of deaths (there are sports that are more lethal) but because there is no way you can do it seriously and not end up at least slightly brain damaged. There aren't many people who are willing to do a sport with such risk. You can look at all those other dangerous sports like motor racing but the thing is if you manage to avoid death or serious accident you can come out of those sports completely unscathed which is impossible in boxing.

Every single boxer on top level ends up with CTE, it's pretty obvious. That's why it's the most dangerous sport and only brave people can hang on.

My boys all started boxing at a young age. Just this past year and a half did they start playing other sports. The training they do in boxing has given them the endurance and speed to excel at their secondary sports. All their coaches have been amazed how quick they catch on, boxings eye hand coordination has helped a lot along with reflex.

American football is pretty bad too in terms of CTE. It's crazy, like 75-80% of all players will develop in in time or something like that. They say a lot of that happens at the youth levels too, that's where the damage starts.
