for one thing, boxing wasnt very popular at all in old europe, wrestling was. also, boxing as practice 100 years ago has gone through a HUGE evolution. boxing has changed so much most light weights nowadays would destroy most if not all heavy weights 100 years ago. the sweet science is so different today, it has evolved more then any fighting art i can think of ive and ive done nothing but study fighting arts since i was 15. i have trained boxing btw in a mma club, i enjoyed it very much, to say it was an art, i would strongly disagree.
boxing is not an 'art' its a sport. theres nothing artistic about it since most self expression is completely limited , true no 2 fighters fight the same way, but thats is still not really in an artistic fashion. a combat system becomes artistic is when it gains multifaceted levels of intricate depth and scope as a whole system, not as a style or method which is what boxing is.
