SI toughest athletes.

Iverson is fearless and never leaves anything on the floor cept blood and sweat so a high placement is very appropriate for him....


Tiger Woods about as mentally tough as they come. And he should be high on the list. Even though golf is certainly not as physically rigorous as many sports, the mental part of the game is where he excels...(not to mention that he is a great athlete)

 

Bollocks mate!

He constantly blows up at cameraman,journalists, and hecklers. You call that mentally tough?:-(

 

Did they mean..mentally tough as well..because if so..then tiger has a case...

 

I call that completely irrelevant. He blows up at them because he deals with 100x more of the idiots than any other golfer in history.

 

Exactly on a regular basis he throws these temper tantrums and acts like hes 4 thats not a tough man do we consider John Mcnroe tough ? I doubt it. Tiger doesnt belong in the top 10.

 

Fedor's defining moment ? "beating matt lindland" ?....They're quick to talk about anderson's 6 wins in the UFC but when they're talking about Fed , they're forgetting that he was a cancer to the career of today's ufc hw champ (and living legend of the sport) , antonio rodrigo nogueira.

 

unless you're a girl -1 to your man card.

 

They have a competitive eater on the list, and not a single rock climber. **** that list.

Dean Potter alone is tougher then most on that list.

that dude's either impervious to fear or nuts. amazing.

tiger's got no business on that list. hasn't he rarely come from behind to win a major?

 

Both. ..and he can do this for 24 hours non stop - he climbed Half Dome and El Capitain (in the video) in less then 24 hours, running between them. I do not think anybody on that "tough" list even remotely approaches this level of endurance - both physical and mental.

And folks like him do this for fun. Not for a multi-million dollar paycheck.

 

Serious question. Please do not be offended but I have no idea who is but he does look incredibly gay.

I still would not want to fight him, I guess homosexuals can be tough too.

 

That's Ben Wallace. Not sure what you see that is so "gay" about the picture. Maybe the fact that you're attracted to it clouds your mind?

 

damn. i don't think i'd even want to be that nuts, but i'd have to say i can't think of a tougher athelete.

 

I know 1 thing... there's nothing tough about golfers but it is tough watching it live. It's like saying Kasparov is one of the toughest athletes because it takes so much concentration.... ******ed list, pure and simple.
