What is the Hardest Sport?

[Suplexdeath]

1 on 1 sports are by far the hardest. any form of grappling(wrestling, judo, bjj)

ive done wrestling(folkstyle, grecoroman, and freestyle), bjj, judo, soccer, and football and i gotta give it to wrestling

[Willhu12]

guys, guys, guys - we all know it's either fishing or chess vs the computer.

becuase you can't interpret the body language and emotions of your opponents and must use you cunning to overcome them.

srs.

[GloryDayz]

Those who say basketball is the easiest are stupid... you guys probably played from a freshman or jv level.

This guy runs nearly 20kms a game

benches close to 200kgs x 6

would give an nfl punter a run for their money

does all of this under the physical pressure of a rugby match.


Afl leads to a pretty well rounded athlete!

gymnastics is harder than any sport out there.
come at me bro's

Wrestling

The hardest sport is the one you personally are the worse at. Being a failure at a sport is the hardest thing.

[acidnation]

Mixed martial arts I suppose since its multiple disciplines in one sport.

[scottsummer]

wrestling is easiest the hardest sport. You have to have a lot of strength, agility, and endurance. along with this is is by far the hardest mentally because you go through hell everyday in practice then go workout again by yourself afterwards if you want to make weight

[Willhu12]

Gymnastics, wrestling and decathlon are the hardest.

[RabidLamb]

I've done football in college (I left half way through semester because coach was so goddamn biased!)

I've wrestled and did cross country and track in high school.

Cross country was pretty bad but wrestling ugh! I don't even want to think about it!

Try having to run roughly two miles, numerous up the hill sprinting, etc... Before the practice and drill even start. Then by the end of everything, you're sure you're about to pass out but you still have to practice wrestle with other guy. NOT a pleasant thing at all!

Then over the time, all pains build up and by end of the season, you have so many pains all over that it take at least a couple of weeks to feel just normal again.

OH! Also who can forget disease?! Wrestling season start in Novemember which is when the weather get colder and people get sick more frequently. Then you go on the mat and wallows in all kind of bodyfluid while inhaling other guys' breath repeatedly and possible even pick up a ring worm or other fungus.
I remember one year, about half of the team dropped out due to getting really sick and not be able to practice for a while then just doesn't come back again.

The easiest? Surpringly... it was football! Since I was a endurance freak and the fastest guy on the team, it was surprisingly easy especially since I play as free safety and cannot catch to save my own life so I doesn't have to worry about getting hit as much as other guys.

Boxing! Here is why:

Need to amongst the fittest athletes in the world.
Once you’re in the ring you’re all on your own, there is no one there to help you (individual sport therefore your team can no one carry you).
It is one of the most physically demanding via contact.
Need to be highly skilled and also have good reflexes and timing with rhyme.
It’s hard to get to the top (take into consideration how much more developed the sport is than MMA).

Name one other sport that comes up to the criteria and beats it.

[bmontgomery87]

hardest is subjective.
the amount of training it takes...or how hard it is to score?


I think soccer is one of the hardest to master. These guys start at 3 years old. Are scouted by professional teams by 14. Then leave their families to train daily from 14 on until they play on the first team.
These guys have amazing cardio conditioning. Very high vo2 max levels.
Scoring is obviously very difficult compared to any other sports.
They play 50 games a year.

This sport takes being in shape year round. And constantly training from a very young age no other sport other than chinese gymnastics, involves children training daily from such a young age.

Wrestling, MMA, gymnastics and decathletes. All of them need to be among the fittest in the world, your on you own in all of them (in MMA, your in a cage), wrestling and MMA match up for the contact, gymnastics have FAR more skill than boxers bro - and if you watch some top level gymnasts doing their ****, you'll agree with me and the same for getting to the top.

[Godricula]

Squashhhhhhhhh...If you know how to play it you will know what i mean

Gynastics is harder than soccer. Most soccer players would crumble at the parrallel bars, but I would give gymnasts a chance on the pitch as they have amazing coordination and footwork, not to mention suppleness and are totally fearless.

Soccer players ain't got nothing on ruggers either.

Wrestling I agree is hard but it is not on a par with boxing. MMA is all hype it is such an undeveloped sport, it’s not even Olympic like the others you have mentioned. Gymnastics is very skilful I agree but it is just a set routine you practice. Boxing isn’t you need to adapt with each new opponent. You use your skill set under a constant pressure. Decathlon is a sport for people who are very good but just quite can’t make it, in the top leagues of a sport.

LMAO, decathletes are the most athletic people on this planet, Bryan Clay managed to top the SPARQ test - while only having a few minute to learn the tests he would be doing, and he didn't even have his running spikes. Footballers train for those tests, he doesn't.

So what if MMA is underdeveloped? You gotta box and wrestle at the same time, learn what the other guy favours - there is a far higher mental element - and ou often can't go to your corner like pussy boxers can.

Gynastics just a set routine? OK then, go and learn a parrallel bar routine then tell me how easy it is compared to boxing.

And saying that wrestling isn't on a par with boxing? Yeah, boxers have about 5 matches a year, wrestlers 60.

A sparq test is meaningless some people take it more serious than others and not ever athlete does the test.

MMA fighters do go to corners and the fight for a less amount of time.

All I’m say about the gents on here who are backing up gymnastics. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself ‘Do I bat the other side of the fence?’

[Seb0]

of course it is sprinting fellows and by the way cross country aint got anything to do with sprinting !!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigal1717]

Lacrosse it requires strength, agility, endurance, speed, and its pretty contact so some mucle wouldnt help there (: .

[Willhu12]

And just wtf does that mean?

[woadito]

chess......

[Sam1234567]

IMO Rugby or running round the field 25 times in 1 hour. Thats what i did.

Outside of school Professional terms - Tour De France by far.

[bus12]

Ok let's say you are in High School and you want to participate in a School Sport.
You are in Fairly Decent shape you know the average Highschool guy.What sport would it be hardest to succeed in?
So the question is what is the hardest sport to condition you because Sports liek tennis take skill.

Personally, I did football,Cross Country, Track,and Rugby

The hardest probally, By far would be Cross Country 3.1 miles of Fast pace action almost sprinting.

What do you thinks the hardest sport?

I think Rugby would have to be the hardest, you have to be fit, fast, strong and then there is the huge mental side of things with you willingly walking onto to a field with no protection and other men trying to break your bones.

[Joey2292000]

For all who are saying that you have to be the fittest in the world, ALL athletes have to be as fit as they possible can or they wont make it.

For my answer to the hardest High school sport would be Wrestling because preforming at your highest level and only eating 2 hours before the match after cutting 10-20 lbs in a couple of days is insane

i also like the swimmer doesnt get to breath aspect

[Seizonsha]

Wrestling is the hardest sport physically and mentally. You have to be tough all around.

[NYRalan]

Ice hockey players can wrestle, box, mma, play baseball, basketball, football, rugby, tennis, and soccer. Boxers, wrestlers, baseball, basketball, football, rugby, tennis, and soccer players can not play hockey.

[KlLLEmAll]

All competitive sports require some level of conditioning. You can argue all day if football is tougher than rugby or hockey.

But at the end of the being constantly physically attacked by another person who has trained relentlessly to knock you out makes boxing the hardest sport you'll ever compete in.

The problem is hardly any of you would understand because not too many people have the balls, conditioning or talent to step in the ring. Even as an amature.
