Is boxing the most difficult sport of all sports?

Boxing hands down. You can play football, soccer, baseball, basketball and rugby. But you can't play boxing.:boxing:

The only way that cycling would be tougher than boxing is if the cyclist had a guy beating the **** out of him for the duration of the race.:boxing: Obviously cycling isn't as PUNISHING as boxing, but in terms of raw fitness I'm confident that they're a little above fighters. That's the only sport I'd make that claim for btw.

1 on 1 Combat Sports are very Difficult! You don't have a teammate or anything in that ring it is you and your opponent. If you make a mistake Defensively it is nobody to help you cover up mistakes like other sports. On Offense you have to figure out yourself how to attack your opponent. So I would say ABSOLUTELY! This........

I say yes, at the elite level. At a beginner level not really. Mainly because not only does it take extreme conditioning and dedication like many other sports do as well, but it takes a mental toughness and character that you just don't need at an elite level in other sports, and you are alone in the ring, you don't sit out for another bench player if the going gets tough. And boxing is infinitely harder than MMA, you don't get to mount your opponent and rest on them, you can get uppercutted to a KO if you try to clinch with the wrong fighter. WAR BOXING!!!! :headbang:

Roadwork is a complete days workout for some high level athletes. Put it that way.

I voted no cause I have Muay Thai in mind. Muay Thai has been proven many times to be the most dangerous and physically demanding combat sport. I've been doing some boxing and Muay Thai and yes even if boxing is incredibly difficult, Muay Thai is just insane.

If u voted yes you ain't played tiddlywinks

By far. A sparring session is more intense than 4 quarters of football. And I played football. I guarantee you Lebron or Tom Brady would quit after one week of an 8 week training camp.

No sport is more difficult than the other. When there is another human being on the other side it is always going to be difficult. The very essence of sports is the competitiveness between humans.

overhandrite71 Boxing is definitely the hardest sport. In boxing u have no help, when u get in that ring it's just you and your opponent.

TS seems to be referring to the psychological aspects of the sport, in which case I definitely agree. However, there are certain sports which are slightly ahead of boxing in certain areas; cycling in terms of overall fitness, racket and ball sports in terms of skill areas, etc. It's still IMO the most difficult sport overall athletically and definitely the toughest psychologically.
