    I played baseball most of my life so I know how hard it is to not only hit such a fast moving object, but hit it WELL to a specific location. I still can't believe I ever managed to do it.

    And the answer is boxing... it is more difficult than baseball in pretty much every aspect.

    Horse racing should be way higher. National hunt racing that is, not flat racing.

    I also think rugby is one of the toughest, its not stop-start like American Football and little or no padding used.

    Soccer isn't very tough, and baseball? Basketball shouldn't be 4th either.

    Cycling deserves a mention, the Tour de France must be one of the toughest events.

    But I agree boxing is the toughest, it requires everything really, mental and physical.

    War is the toughest sport.

    Shouldn't ultra-marathon be on there? Those guys run for days at a time.

    running is tough but it does not encompass many of these different skills that were judged except endurance, speed and durability.

    Key ENDURANCE: The ability to continue to perform a skill or action for long periods of time. Example: Lance Armstrong
    STRENGTH: The ability to produce force. Example: NFL linebackers.
    POWER: The ability to produce strength in the shortest possible time. Example: Barry Bonds.
    SPEED: The ability to move quickly. Example: Marion Jones, Maurice Green.
    AGILITY: The ability to change direction quickly. Example: Derek Jeter, Mia Hamm.
    FLEXIBILITY: The ability to stretch the joints across a large range of motion. Example: Gymnasts, divers.
    NERVE: The ability to overcome fear. Example: High-board divers, race-car drivers, ski jumpers.
    DURABILITY: The ability to withstand physical punishment over a long period of time. Example: NBA/NHL players.
    HAND-EYE COORDINATION: The ability to react quickly to sensory perception. Example: A hitter reacting to a breaking pitch; a drag racer timing acceleration to the green light.
    ANALYTIC APTITUDE: The ability to evaluate and react appropriately to strategic situations. Example: Joe Montana reading a defense; basketball point guard on a fast break.

    No you stand that long you dont play, average tennis point is about 4 to 6 seconds that 25 30(official every player takes more) seconds brake for every time they serve etc it comes to like 20 minutes of actual play...look it up.
    Leonardo Mayer and defending champion Andy Murray. It lasted two hours and 41 minutes—three minutes shorter than the average men's singles match at last year's U.S. Open. Mayer and Murray actively played for 26 minutes and 29 seconds, i found this statistic on US Open, tennis is way overrated.

    I have been wrestling greco-roman for years as kid and try boxing. I would say wrestling might be physically harder but boxing is definitely tougher. Every punch hurts.

    Darts. Just look at those physiques of those guys. That tells you all you need to know. And not a single steroid is taken. Or even rubbed in. :lol:
