neutral  Eric MARRET: généralement le "noble art" désigne la boxe, un peu violent pour le contexte, non ?

  -> Au moyen-âge on parle de noble art de la fauconnerie. La restriction à la boxe est plutôt un appauvrissement. D'ailleurs c'est une formule vieillie pour la boxe au 19ème et début 20ème (voir Gentleman Jim) bien peu adaptée à la boxe actuelle (Raging Bull)
