"Safety Comparison" makes no sense -- it seems there is no relevant statistic to match the ones given for other sports. Does "boxing" mean professional boxing? Amateur boxing? Presumably it means all boxing, but then who cares? This article is about amateur boxing. Then the wrestling statistic is given in deaths in a time period, rather than deaths per 1000 participants. If there aren't statistics available to make a meaningful comparison, we should get rid of this section.

See the history -- different ways of analyzing the data have been systematically edited out. (Curiously, the name of the person doing major revisions to the current version is the same as a major promoter of Original Toughman.) Since edit wars are pointless, all I can say is do your own research, and then draw your own conclusions. Joseph Svinth (talk) 16:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
