Great LINK!!
However when I think of the Cruelest Sport, I think professional football takes the top slot. Yes, I know and understand the boxers are getting some lumps during training camps, maybe far worse than the actual fight night . . . BUT . . . week in, week out with 1 bye week during a 14-week period can be brutal.
Looking forward to reading this article.

or even know much re football, but the damage they take re head injuries and dementia pugilistica appear to be possibly a lot greater than in boxing, only in recent years coming to light. And even with all the stuff they wear to prevent it.
