Hardest

Very hard to define... It's no exact science...

This list and other lists like it are fundamentally flawed. It's what a person sees in it.

I mean pole vaulting? It's demanding... but only for that one jump... yet it's ranked higher than other sports which I myself would deem ATLEAST twice as hard I mean who here would attempt ski jumping? fck that ****!

toughest as in most difficult.

list is based on how much of the following abilities are required:

ENDURANCE: The ability to continue to perform a skill or action for long periods of time. Example: Lance Armstrong
STRENGTH: The ability to produce force. Example: NFL linebackers.
POWER: The ability to produce strength in the shortest possible time. Example: Barry Bonds.
SPEED: The ability to move quickly. Example: Marion Jones, Maurice Green.
AGILITY: The ability to change direction quickly. Example: Derek Jeter, Mia Hamm.
FLEXIBILITY: The ability to stretch the joints across a large range of motion. Example: Gymnasts, divers.
NERVE: The ability to overcome fear. Example: High-board divers, race-car drivers, ski jumpers.
DURABILITY: The ability to withstand physical punishment over a long period of time. Example: NBA/NHL players.
HAND-EYE COORDINATION: The ability to react quickly to sensory perception. Example: A hitter reacting to a breaking pitch; a drag racer timing acceleration to the green light.
ANALYTIC APTITUDE: The ability to evaluate and react appropriately to strategic situations. Example: Joe Montana reading a defense; basketball point guard on a fast break.

To quote Larry Merchant:

"You can play football, you can play baseball, you can play basketball. You can't 'play' boxing. Boxing is serious stuff."

[mathed]

You can't lie on your back and take a breather in boxing. You can't sit the bench in boxing. You don't have a team mate blocking for you in boxing. You can't pass the ball off in boxing....it's you and only you in there.

Just look at how many hockey players are missing teeth, that says a lot right there.

I agree it's the toughest sport, but long-distance running isn't on that list, therefore it's a bit of a ****** list.
