If you do the sport professionally, then any sport would be hard. Especially, the one with constant physical tension. When quit, many sportsmen are buried in medical bills.

Water polo?! What about stuff like Shinty? Now there's a crazy sport.

Thetoughest sport, in means of actual toughness, has to be Ultimate Fighting. Those fighters scare the shit out of me. The thing is, if you look at most of the champions, they are wrestlers, justa thought

Tito Ortiz was an asst. coach on my high school wrestling team when I wrestled a few years ago.
There seems to be a misunderstanding somewhere in this thread. Some people are taking tough to mean most difficult or tricky, whilst others are taking it to mean most physical or strong.
It's a silly concept having the 'toughest sport' because there are some sports that the majority of us couldn't do, ever, no matter how much we trained.
tennis, basketball, and baseball are all above than football(soccer)?! haha..thats a joke..
i mean for god's sake theres nothing easier than using ur hands and arms in a sport!
use ur legs and then talk about control and difficulty!

I only did 7 but I couldn't afford it any more.
It's expensive enough as it is without a 50 mile bus journey to the dropzone. Even though it was summer I rang them some weekends and they said the winds were too high And the longer I waited for the weather, the more fussy the instructors got about me forgetting the routines.
I'm gonna wait until I've got a steady job and do an AFF course in Spain or somewhere, with a British company. The weather doesn't let you down over there

Snooker is a really tough sport to play. The pockets are so tight and the balls so small, you have to be exact with your aiming. I stuggle to pot 3 balls in succession and when you see pro's like Ronnie O'Sullivan playing breaks of 100+ it makes you see how good they really are.
Hopefully some day I can take it up seriously.
