uncivilized is a relative term in this sense

ESPN did a story of which sport required the most athleticism. They measured things like endurance, hand to eye, strength etc. and the result was that boxing required the most athleticism.
The skills that it takes to make it to become a world champion are incredible. The average athletic person couldn't even land a punch against a pro boxer. The average person doesn't realize the technique and timing involved in the sport.
It can be brutal but that doesn't mean it is uncivilized. Football and Hockey can be brutal yet there is no one calling the sport uncivilized.
In terms of danger I'm sure certain sports are just as dangerous like Hockey, Football and Car Racing.
Overall it is a good sport but is also a tough sport which doesn't make it uncivilized.

I agree with Matt O....boxing is a sport and a very competitive individual sport at that. Nothing about it is uncivil. Its 2 men competing against other for the sport of it, rather than to just kill each other.

How is it uncivilized? This isn't dogfighting or cockfighting where two animals are thrown in a pit together in attempts to kill each other for human amusement, these are adult people who make the concious decision to fight, and there are many rules and regulations to make it as safe as possible. Boxers put everyothing they have into this sport and for you to imply its uncivilized is unsulting.

why should it be? No one is forced into boxing.
