Fishing, along with billiards, bowling and cheerleading are considered sports by ESPN. Who knew? Weightlifting, came in ranked at #44, just ahead of sprint swimming and behind middle distance track and field. What was ranked as the #1 sport and how are they all ranked?
The “sweet sport” of boxing was ranked the #1 sport based on the Ultimate Degree of Difficulty Grid as determined by a “panel of experts“, which consist of one coach, one athlete and a bunch of journalists.

One look at this list and you know there is plenty of room for disagreement and even ridicule.

Well, that’s just great! Now I feel like a real loser because I don’t have mastery of the snatch and clean & jerk in the 44th ranked sport in the world!

Hat Tip: Fortified Iron.
