atomou,

im sure your too one eyed to appreciate this, but i will try and expalin why I believe boxing to be one of the ultimate sports.

A boxer (excluding some heavy weight fighters)is a pure athlete. There is not one ounce of fat, skin or muscle where is is not supposed to be. They have and need every fitness component:
muscular strength
muscular power
balance
agility
speed
cardio vasular endurane
muscular endurace
flexibilty
coordination

Boxing itself is a pure and simple sport. Two men (or women) pitting themselves against each other. It doesnt get much more straightforward then that. Similar to a fight for territory in the animal world.

Now all of these points could be argued the same for UFC or Affliction and the like, however that is where boxing become more human and 'refined'. Athletes wear gloves and cannot strike low blows. Only punches allowed.

So, TO ME, the combination of pyhsical skill and aggression tempered by mankinds (limited) rules present one of the best sports in the world.
