Quick Question: Is Boxing the Most Debated Sport?

I think so. After all, we can debate the verdicts, the weight, the outcome, the judging, the testing (or lack of), the eras, the fighters prime, the fighters opponents... and the beatings go on.

There's so much for us to debate when it comes to this sport of kings, but is it the most debated sport? And if so, who is the king debater in the press/media?

You're certainly a frequent mass debater on here

The "sport of kings" is horse racing is it not?

Crown-Green Bowls garners some healthy debate.

I do like a bit of horse racing. Cleaned up at Royal Ascot. Followed that day up with £1 on Spain 4 Italy 0 at 80-1. Should have gone bigger.

And when the mod's join in on the banter then you know your thread has no chance.

Alas, i cannot swim among these sharks. Lol.

Judging by 606v2 I'd say Rugby is subject to more debate.....

Seanus please refrain from dirtying my thread with silly little smiley men...

Seanus you're on my wanted list, Tophat, you're on it too. Why you may ponder? You laughed.

These Mod's be crazy.

Gotta be cricket surely

Surely the most debated sport is FOOTBALL

statistically that would be the obvious answer

Your tone suggests that whilst statistically I should be correct, somehow, I'm wrong and it's something like women's beach volleyball. The debate being "Is it a sport or simply visual stimulii for young men with too much time (and other stuff) on their hands?"

Perhaps debatable would have been a better adjective for the title of this thread than debated.

It would have fitted better with the content of the OP and may have avoided this secondary debate that has arisen.

Your question implies that called boxing a "sport" is debatable.

It is ambiguous, I realise that Dave. I meant more 'able to be debated' but with the recent instances of clear winners not being given the nod, the interpretation that you rightly picked up on could also be a valid question.

haha no, didn't mean that to sound sarcastic, just that it would be the logical answer.
