Which sport is the most challenging your opinion?

[RAS7331]

Im usually pretty good at most sports i participate in... except for soccer. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i am 6'5 but that **** is hard. Although ive never played hocky i would assume that is pretty challenging as well.

[Paladin13]

baseball is the hardest sport in the world. You fail 7 out of 10 times and you go the Hall of Fame. THe hardest thing to do is hit a 95mph ball with a bat.

[RAS7331]

Ya baseball is a great sport and is far more mental then people give it credit for. i cant believe i forgot to mention golf...now that is hard.

[ThinkBig05]

come on guys its darts..have you seen the weights those guys compete at!

[bigfrog]

It says "post HARDEST" not favorite......

[onelonglizard]

wrestling hands down.

[Dr. Flex]

mma

[Veeshmack]

for me
rugby was harder to learn, but that was 2 yrs ago, now its easy and i'm an allstar
football was easier to pick up and learn, but has been a huge disadvantage and made it that much harder on due to my size, only 5'7 and 160lbs now, used to be a bit shorter and fatter

any sport can be challenging though, its all about rising to the occasion and overcoming the challenge

Wow...this is the first time I've ever agreed with Paladin.

if you played soccer more often you would be good at it also, in my country soccer is like a cult everybody plays it

in my opinion waterpolo is hard as hell...you really need to be an animal to wrestle and swim like those guys and still have enough endurance to shot the ball play defence...

wrestling

thats not biased becasue i dont actual wrestle myself but i've been to the practices and matches and i get tired just watching my friends wrestle

[Rugger7]

Okay, who here has actually played more than 2 or 3 sports for an extended period of time? Thats the first problem with answering this question.

The second is, what kind of challenging? Requires the most skill? Most athleticism? Most endurance? Most everything?

Another problem is, whats hard for one may be easier for another. Consider what would be the most challenging sport for a sumo wreslter. Now, for a horse jockey. Yea, they would probably argue their sport is the hardest but neither could do the others for crap.

From my experiences, football requires the most unadulterated athleticism (speed & power for a few seconds at a time), rugby requires the most extended high-intensity endurance, wrestling is the highest intensity for the 6-7 mins the match lasts and requires a completely different mindset and conditioning, golf takes the most patience/practice/skill, darts takes the most beer, curling takes the coldest climate, lumberjack games take the most flannel and chainsaws.. the list goes on. I think I might try boxing, I think along with wrestling, it might contend for the most physically demanding if we're not talking marathon/triathalon type endurance.

[bikestud125]

I also agree with Paladin and say baseball

[fpjesuits55]

rugby

[MLibid]

I find soccer extremely hard for me. Not just because it demands arguably the most stamina compared to other sports, but also because you have to use your feet and not your hands. When we play soccer in Phys. Ed. in school, I don't do bad. I also have horrible accuracy when kicking the ball.

Mentally, I heard golf was the hardest. I've never ever played the sport before. Not even for fun.

I definitely agree.

Golf is probably the most frustrating to pick up. A 5 hour round of golf isnt much fun if you cant hit a solid shot. But over time you'll improve, and it becomes enjoyable and not as hard.

Wrestling probably the hardest to prepare for.

[callmeawesome]

Boxing or some combination of striking and wrestling... like UFC or something.

[Paladin13]

Sorry but the answer to this question is really clear as day. If a wrestler or boxer has a record of 3-7 you consider him to not be any good. If a baseball player gets 3 hits and makes 7 outs, he is one of the best players in the game. A 95mph fastball reaches the plate in .4 seconds. That takes incredible amount of hand-eye-coordination to hit a pitch like that. Not to mention if the delivery from the pitcher isn't fluent, then that makes it harder to pick up the pitch making it even harder to hit the baseball. Hands down, baseball is the hardest sport.

Agreed here. All sports can be hard. I've trained various athletes. All have hard stuff.

[RaferAlston26]

Golf for me. That is the only sport I have never been naturally good at but from my view Rugby is the hardest. Mixture of high endurance, strength, getting bashed, non-stop.. it's crazy. It's a mixture of soccer and american football.

[TrojanSC]

Skill: Baseball...nothing is harder than hitting a baseball

Physicaly Demanding: Wrestling

Raw Power and Intensity: Football

[State00]

[Icicle]

Swimming

Yeah, but I would bet that I have a better chance of hitting a baseball than knocking out any top boxer...plus at the end up the day the boxer would be drained and beat down, the same cant be said for a batter who comes to the plate 4 times in 3 hours.

[AJ_Stone]

wrestling hands down.

(yes homo)

[Lil Sirius]

CRICKET bitches. Its like baseball when it comes to batting, only that when you face the ball, the ball will bounce before reaching bat. The boucning of the ball often results in lateral deviation, which you have to pick up in 0/5 secs. You have to contend with swing- inwards outwards etc
Also, the batsman never sure about the placement of the ball and thus the height of the bounce. You need incredible concentration.

hitting a baseball would be easier since the ball is always in flight.

[BeastlyBill]

mma, hardest physically and mentally.

[Christopher J]

Basketball is the most mentally challenging.
Night in night out your shot can be on your shot can be off. You are being guarded by different styles of defense each game. You have to make decisions in the blink of an eye. Jumping and running up and down a 90ft court can get very tiresome.

[SuicideGripMe]

Um shootfighting?! You gotta punch with a guy and try not to get slammed on the ground and ditching and trying to throw on submissions. 1 on 1, no team you can rely on. Just you vs your opponent.

Combat sports definitly. YES THAT INCLUDES WRESTLING!

[Tyro]

i can only speak from my experiance but by the looks anything todo with mma looks killer but from my past football to a high level is killer.
