    It doesn't require a lot of conditioning but getting hit by a baseball going 100 mph is pretty scary.

    it's crap. sports are tough in different ways.
    i said the same thing last year, but...

    put a skinny, beer swilling snowboarder in the ring with the WBC, WBA,IBF, WBO, etc heavyweight champ of the world, and the champ will (most likely) take it easy on the snowboarder.

    Put the most elite, skilled, athletically-gifted future HOFer with the best ring IQ and ring generalship on a snowboard and tell him to ride down peak 7601, and you have one dead future HOFer.

    Boxing is easily the toughest. In what other sport does a competitor have to endure what Frazier did against Ali in Manila, or what Margarito had to endure against Manny?

    Can't take this seriously as sorry....American Football at no3 LOL

    Running and catching deserves Agility 6.38 and Strength is higher than Rugby (alot higher, for comparative sports).
    And speed 7.75....errr i thought only certain players needed to be fast. The others at big lumps who defend the quarter back right?


    Just my 2cents. Great to see boxing no1 thought. No complaints there lol

    Of course. There's no timeouts, or tapping out in boxing. It is required that you last 3:00 a round while getting clocked in the head and body.

    Triathlon must be tough.
    F1 drivers have to be seriously fit & crash every once in a while.
    Cyclists on the Tour de France, riding 100s of miles everyday, up & down mountains thats gotta be hard.
    But all-round its boxing imo.
    Or darts.
