Where do boxers stand as the "Best Trained Athletes"?

ok, you werent serious with Golf were you ?? lol

might as well add baseball next to it.

now to answer your question..

.

NO, but thought it would be funny since they use Tiger Woods's name in the same sentence as Michael Jordan, and other top great athletes of all time...I also heard Tiger, when asked if he would consider having his kids play soccer, laughed and say "no, I want them ?????...can't remember the rest, but it was a rip on the sport, which I found amusing since I have always thought of Golf as a sport that you start when you are old and retired and need something to do.

Gymnastics overall by far .....Remember Joe Frazier coming in last in every comp even weight lifting on battle of the stars

LOl, yeah, I saw that on ESPN classics, I was very surprised...he couldn't even do the military press and I thought he was going to drown in the pool


I put Gymnastics on there because I think a lot of people overlook these incredible athletes and don't know what they have to actually go through....

If you want to talk about long hours of training, having to fight through pain, these are athletes you should appreciate

I'd maybe say boxers/mma fighters train harder in the months or weeks before a fight but some other sports like gymnastics train non-stop all year long . So there for I put a few other sports over it .

Mayweather trains all year round...he supposedly trains any time he has the urge at any point in time of the day/night

Boxing can get forge you into a machine, and get you into incredible shape. But gymnasts can do some absurd stuff, they are almost always in near perfect shape and insanely strong. So I don't know, I aknowledge all other athletes in all other sports but I would have to place Boxing and Gymnastics at a stalemate at the top of the sports chain.

There will always be an exception in ppl like Hopkins and Mayweather but you can not be a competitive gymnast without training all year long BUT you can get away with not training very well for a boxing match. I'd also say that pro runners and tour de france riders train harder then the average boxer.

Same basic thing over and over though...plus, look at Lance Armstrong, the guy can ride a bike, but that's about it...he even isn't the best at running long distance...plus, doping is wide spread

For Marathon runners, Kenyans call this "transportation"

boxing is number 1 followed by cycling probably
