What do you think is the most demanding sport? *Now with poll*

I would Marathon and long distance is pretty demanding.

I dunno how they do it day in day out

I did it. Id still say training for a bout and the actually fight are both tougher. After a while, running 8 miles isnt so hard. Once your in shape it just becomes second nature.

Being pro athlete in any sport is physically demanding but what sport do you think demands the most? Explain (and you better explain well if you gonna say soccer(football) cause i think its one of the least)

Id say pro fighting take the most out of a person. i say so because its the only sport that really demands every aspect that sports ask for: skill, strenght, speed, agility, stamina, endurance and mental toughness.

Edit: Dont ask me why i put track & field on the poll:? tryed to edit and put something like hockey but someone was too quick

Wrestling (not that pro garbage, real wrestling, college and high school wrestling) anyone who says otherwise is just wrong...

I'd say wrestling is the 2nd most behind boxing. Boxing I'd say is the most demanding and it's really not even close in my opinion...

Trust me, mma is harder. I've fought amateur in boxing, mma, thai boxing and entered jiu jistuse tournaments. Boxing is much easier than mma. In boxing, you only have to worry about getting pucnhed from about the belly button up, with only 12 oz. fisted gloves. In mma, you have to worry about getting hit with knees, kicks, elbows and punches in smaller gloves. On top of that, you have to worry about being taken down and pounded in the face or have very painful joint locks and chokes put onto you. It's so much more demanding, and that's why I quit amateur mma and just box, because it's so less demanding it's not even funny.

ice hockey ?

Thinking the same thing.

Mixed martial arts. There are so many disciplines you have to train in from muay thai, boxing, jiu jitsu, wrestling, takedown defense, etc. Then you have to train in cardio. mixed martial artists are easily the most well conditioned and skilled athletes on the planet, bar none. hillelslovak
