Is boxing the most physically demanding sport in the world??

[wazaa.]

No, cricket is.

[Davros?]

No, cricket is.

I agree.........

[GOAT86]

Yes, yes and yes. No other sport where you bleed that much, but keep on coming.

The Iron Sheik would disagree with all of you guys. ( " Rrrrrestling toughest sport in the vorld"!! lol)

This would have been a good thread to have a poll for. I agree that boxing os the tpughest when you factor both the physical and mental stamina required to be successful and the risks involved while enduring blunt force trauma to the face and body, I don't see how anybody could say differently. Many sports taxes the body physically perhaps even for a longer time I.e. tennis, cycling, long distance running swimming etc but in boxing you are being hit as well. Think about it concussions are a huge issue in sports but in boxing a fighter can be concussed multiple times per fight. Imagine fighting with a broken nose, ribs, hands and being expected to continue on. I don't know about you guys but getting slugged in the nose or stomach, liver just once is no picnic. It is no wonder we see how many fighters are irreparably damaged after their careers' are over.

Even in football, field and ice hockey where collisions are expected you are given equipment designed to lessen the blows. I didn't even mention the training involved before an actual fight. I was merely just talking about just the actual fights themselves.

No question Boxing toughest sport!!!!!

that list is bull****

how is basketball so high up the list with ice hocky, this must be from america

gymnastics ****s all over basketball, and cycling come on look at how low it is

water polo is also fairly low and is no chance behind baseball

[shade darkar]

maybe the triathlon? dont they swim a couple of miles, then ride a bike for 110 miles then complete a 26 mile marathon all back to back?

[minasyan]

They are pretty tough. The continue riding after horrible crashes that leaves them with broken collarbones and asphaltburns. Still they continue and are ready the next day.

Not many athletes are tougher than bike riders.

well said

most people who don't agree with what you said would have never watch a proper race in their lives

i always watch races and its hard to believe these riders have the strength to climb up these steep mountains after racing for hours

[shade darkar]

No, cricket is.

lol, criket is fcukin wank and probably 1 of the least demanding sports. standing about in a field waiting for a ball to catch isnt demanding. its boring as fcuk.
