That's a really interesting point. I guess we can both be glad that I've never portrayed myself as anything other than a casual fan of any athletics.
And as a person who is not terribly invested in either side, I think you are vastly over-estimating the following and importance boxing has in the public mind.
The only one of the guys you mentioned in your latest point that I'd be truly terrified of is Tyson -- and it sure as hell isn't because of his "sweet science", "exacting skill", or gentlemanly deference to the rules. He's not much of a standard-bearer for boxing being the gentleman's sport.
