By MH9: The case for:
In the most primitive sense of the word sport is proving that one person is better than another. Some use bats, balls, rackets or race over a course to prove this. Stripping this down boxing is a sport that pits one person against another without the complication of implements or rules to prove who is the better ‘man’ or ‘woman’. In the crudest sense when people dispute something it has been historically settle by a fist fight to prove who is best. Therefore the origins of boxing are a kin to the very essence of sport.
