Pfft. YES! Have you watched professionals play? The amount of skill required is crazy! Like watch Barcelona play and how they curve the ball when they kick it. And it requires heaps of running aswell.

Australian Football not rugby.

Sex.

0.0001% of people here have played it, making it hard.

In like three ways and six innuendos..

UFC.

Hands down.

UFC isn't a sport. That's like saying NBA is a sport.

mmmm I figure boxing/kickboxing to be the roughest sport.
You basically just stand there as someone pounds on your face and torso.

sorry to keep going on but, MMA is mixed martial arts. So it is kickboxing/boxing, but with wrestling, juijitsu and so on.

Extreme Ironing, hands down

Oh omg dude that is so hard. My friend was a pro at that until a freak wind accident blew the iron into his face and burned it. He was in so much pain he fell off and died. It was so sad .

Ok, I'll go with that.
MMA is now the hardest sport.

Isn't there some disapline of martial arts that has you working with a partner? Not on a partner :P That would be difficult, to work in sinc with someone else in such a fast pace fighting technique.

Well, in terms of athletics and endurance, soccer is the toughest. It must be very hard to run around a long-ass field, can't be able to use hands, and score. It takes a lot of endurance. And[not that it's necessary] all that flip kicking.

I'm surprised no one said Parkour yet. =/

Tennis and golf are the two hardest sports in my opinion. Maybe golfs not the most taxing in terms of endurance. But both are becoming much more physically demanding as the years go on.

Now that being said. The reason I believe that they are the hardest sports is because of the sheer precision needed to play each. In golf. At contact your clubface could be off by less than a millimeter and the ball could go more than 30 yards off of where you were intending it to go. Not to mention how the wind and lies will affect your swing and your ballflight tremendously.

Tennis is the same way technically in the sense that if your raquet face is off by just a little you can end up totally missing a shot that would have otherwise been easy. Tennis matches can last up to 5 hours (depending on the number of sets you play) and basically all of that is constant sprinting up and down the court. (Without the breaks between games this would be insanity). Not to mention the fact that the ball is traveling at speeds of up to 140 mph (again depending on the skill level you play at) on serves, and up to 100 (at least) on groundstrokes. Then there are the different shots to mix things up such as dropshots, lobs, and slices. All of these factors make tennis a grueling sport to play.

This being said. Both of them can be extremely easy if you just go out and want to **** around with your friends. But to play them competitively it takes YEARS of practicing everyday to become good at them.

I live near IMG/Bolletieri Academy which is the largest sports academy (mainly tennis and golf though) in the world so I know what I'm talking about when it comes to levels of play and such. And I have played both sports competitively but am working my ass off for a tennis scholarship and hopefully professional level some day.

WWE wrestling is hands down, the hardest sport.


Do you know how hard it is to rid yourself of all self respect?

Parkour hands down.

Barrel Roll FTW

Parkour is pretty hard, but a person with a good physique and some knowledge could do it =P. Freerunning seems a bit harder to me in that category.
