I argue this with my friends all the time. I can't pick one, but I can for sure tell you it's NOT baseball or basketball.

Hockey and rugby, tough call between those two because in hockey you're always giving 100%, but in rugby you're getting beaten around.

What I meant was you're never coasting or slacking off, its not like soccer or rugby where you can jog for a while and catch your breath (moreso in soccer), its more like football where you're going 100% the entire time.

I would say wrestling (not pro) would have to be the most athletic the practices alone are insanse, almost bootcamp with the Marines insane, another one possible would have to be Mix Martial Arts, those guys have to be in incredible shape just to get in there and fight and have high endurance and always be on their toes for whatever is coming next.

Quidditch, flying on a broomstick is so hard to do. Plus you have to dodge those bulgers, NOT FUN. And the games can last forever if you can't catch the snitch.

I'm not talking about if its hard to learn or not, its just many of the people I've talked to who think hockey isn't one of the toughest sports to play only played houseleague, its a completely different game when you play rep.

I'll say football. Strength, speed, endurance, its an all out brawl. Soccer and hockey are also very athletic, as is basketball. In baseball there are many overweight players, and it involves the least running out of any sport, even though in my opinion it is the most difficult to be good at. (Getting a hit one out of three at bats is considered GOOD, a 66% failure rate).

It doesn't have the most athletic players from top to bottom but the top players in the NBA are incredibly atheltic. Like LeBron and Kobe. They are freaks.

I can repsect Boxing as their number one choice, but those rugby numbers are rediculous.Next time they should go with judges that know what the **** they're talking about for all the sports.

Yeah, I'll accept boxing as #1 and I was very glad to see that ice hockey was runner-up, but when basketball and especially baseball outrank rugby in terms of toughness, you've got a flawed list.

Basketball. You have to play offense and defense at all times! When I say at all times I mean you don't get a break like in baseball you have different innings and soccer only half the field plays at a time until the ball goes to the other side of the field. And you are constantly running up and down the court. Thats my opinion.

I play rugby and hockey (2nd toughest sport according to ESPN) and rugby is as tough if not tougher than hockey.

"Toughness", in a physical sense, does not make something athletic.

Rugby is not as athletic as Football or Hockey.

Most athletic sport really doesn't make much sense...but I think I get what you are trying to ask...it would have to definetly be gynastics or decathalons....atheletes that participate in these sports can probably do most othersports in the world and perform at a high level. They train their bodies to perform and excel in many areas where as most other sports you train to improve in a few...

I have to go with hockey. I played all the sports listed up there, plus soccer, when I when I was in high school, and hockey definitely was the most physical, and the most grueling sport.

It's soccer hands-down. I played football, basketball, tennis, and soccer. In soccer you need to be extremely atheletic to play.

I cant really say, but It definately isnt baseball. I think people may discount football as the o and d linemen are 300+ lb and some have large guts, but many(most) are excellent athletes that could outrun most of us.

But the skills needed for football aren't as well rounded as those for tougher sports like hockey and boxing. Because of the specific positions players tend to specialize in certain skills, linemen focus on strength, RB's on speed and power, WR's on hands and quickness etc. Whereas in hockey most players are capable of playing any position (except goalie of course) because of the more diverse skillset.

Biking like tour de france or marathons. Non stop for long periods. All other sports take breaks or get to slow down and jog/go slower.

This is a no brainer. Soccer, period! These people run miles and miles, and have to play extremely well the whole game. Sometimes they have to play their best and step up after they've run miles in the game.

Baseball you can't even consider because they just stand around the whole time, what's so interesting about that? Basketball is somewhat athletic, but mostly sprinting. Tennis is in the same category as soccer, but almost as hard. For 2-4 hours, you need to be able to spring or run back and forth at any time and hit the fastest shots you can, no matter how tired you are. Football, it depends. If you're trying to protect/sack the QB, you need to be able to withstand pain, but also need endurance if their offense is good. WRs need to be since they sprint every play. But really though Footballl is one of the most demanding, since it's agility, strength, quickness, and toughness, all in one!
