Which sport is physically the MOST hardest?

[Bahamut Zero]

Boxing takes 2nd spot to me. The 1st should be cycling ala Le Tour De France where those thin wire bikers conquer the rolling hills...then up and down a sky high mountain for 3-5 hours non-stop! I could only imagine the torture they put on their legs. Just ask Lance Armstrong. And 3rd, Marathon.

boxing is #1st ,believe me

that cycling **** is for soft ass *****s

there was some kind of thing on espn.com that ranked the sports in difficulty, i remember boxing was #1 and hockey was #4

Boxing without doubt, if the tour de France guys hit each other with sticks whilst riding up the hill you might have a point.

Boxing, EASILY.

Getting hit....working every part of your body.....dealing with the TENSION that takes so much out of you.

Nothing compares to boxing.

Bike racing & marathoning, guys ? LMAO......you've obviously never boxed. No ****in' way you'd say those other two if you had.

have you ever tried to run for 50 KM???
Just do it and then tell me what is harder...

Not if you are fighting 4 rounders, I believe triathlon athletes and cyclers who do the tour de france is probably the hardest. All of the uphill miles they have to do is insane.

Boxing and football. Nothing else compares to these two, I'm sorry.

Look at a veteran boxer's face like Hopkins and try to tell me that that kind of damage can be inflicted in any other sport. I agree that other sports are physically challenging but challenging and damanging are two separate things.

As for football, well look at how many football players die in their 40s and 50s (most recently Reggie White) and you'll have a good idea as to what punishment those guys take.

Depends on how you interpret the question, I guess. I was thinking he meant which sports are the toughest on you, not the most challenging in terms of difficulty. Long-distance running and cycling would definitely be up there then.

Hopkins was born ugly tough bad example, shame on you. lol

Perhaps what Hopkins did to Joppy could be used as a better example. His face was swollen to epic porportions.
