The 25 toughest athletes

[emn1964]

you have never played golf at high level before, that much is obvious.


there IS A DIFFERENCE between the way your grandpa plays golf, and the way a ATHLETE like tiger woods plays golf.


tigers golf swing is an ATHLETIC MOVEMENT.   

if tigers not an athlete, then no DH ini the major leagues is either.

are you saying that it takes no muscular control to throw a dart accurately or to stroke a pool cue?

i got into this discussion before, these fellas on dis board really do think golf is a sport... it takes lots of strength, cardiovascular endurance, speed, and agility almost as much as basketball and football

no thats wrong. BUT it dos take alot of physical strength, coordination, and athletic abillity to be able to play the game the way tiger does.

ANYBODY can "play golf".

very few people can PLAY GOLF

theres a difference

I dont think so. Yes he is a machine on the course, but its just golf at the end of the day. He doesnt hit the ball twice as hard as everyone else, he just has better skills than other golfers.

Hell look at John Daly, hes a great golfer, not as good as Tiger, but still great. You gonna say he is a great athlete and has great athletic ability?

i agree bro! bout the only aspect of athletic ability that golf takes is hand-eye coordination, if that really is an aspect of athletic ability? in fact, billiards and darts also take hand-eye coordination

Yep.

Golf, imo, falls into the same category as games like billards, pool, darts etc. Not sports, games.

tyson is the toughest,,,he most likley can kill most boxers and mma and all that other shit even today,,very strong fella and the one you want with you in a fight,,i believe if tyson wasnt a self destuction bi polar individual with such a good heart that made peopel take advantage of him because of that good heart,,i believe he would still be to this day the world champ,,he has the chance to be better than ali but like maradona the football player suffer from mental issues that prevent him from holding the title for good 10 years

[LatsMcGee]

How come DA isn't on this list?

[americanbulldog]

How come DA isn't on this list?

Or any bodybuilder, for that matter. 

[polychronopolous]

Now he's just a side show freak

Yeah but don't forget about all the fights that he either A. quit in the middle of (Holyfield, McBride) B. Created a post fight controversy after getting ktfo by a guy who would soon there after balloon up to 400lbs and nearly die in a diabetic coma (Buster Douglas) C. Get knocked out by a bum named Danny Williams D. Cry like a bully that just got served, after doing nothing but talk shit about his opponent (Lennox Lewis) E. Use dirty tactics cause he didn't have the mental toughness in the ring like all GREAT heavyweights do (Botha).
Yeah real "tough" 
Just cause a guy has muscles and acts crazy, that does not make him tough.

no, what made him tough was knocking out every grown male heavyweight he ever faced at the ages of 19, and becoming world champion at a very young age.

[Hugo Chavez]

Tyson without a doubt was the badest toughest of all, At 19 knocking out grown men, and heavy weight champion at 20 yrs old and widely known as the scariest fighter, balls of steel

really sad he self destructed.

[no one]

Fedor should've been number one. Tiger's the man but could he come back from this?

Most people would be paraplegics after that, let alone win.

agreed.

"grown male heavyweight" meaning overweight dudes that looked like Joey Buttafucco, Tyson never knocked out anyone that will be remembered as a great heavyweight besides an old ass Larry Holmes. Look at the films of who he fought when he was 19, not exactly world class competition.

Finally, a non Tyson jockrider.  I love the job Tyson did on Tony Tucker, Mitch Green.  His big wins?  Razor Ruddock, Tyrell Biggs, Trevor Berbick, a washed up Larry Holmes.  Couldn't beat Buster, lost twice to Holyfield, gets Pawned by Lennox, after making a circus sideshow of the event.  Whenever he was pushed, he crumbled, hard to call that tough.  That video of Fedor, he comes right back and kimura's Randleman.  Fedor was also rocked by Ironhead Fujita, while punch drunk counters with a left hook, takes his back and chokes him out.  That is tough.

I think that man would make me bring a gun to a fist fight. Holy....

your not an athlete if u play golf,,, tiger could be beaten off another top golfer who would probly sink 10 pints of beer a night, such as daily or westwood... in which other 'athletic' sport could somone who doesnt lift a finger training come out on top... the same goes for snooker, pool, etc etc

theres plenty tough athletes, youve got to include some of the crazy mexican boxers, whol'l stand toe to toe for 12 rounds... no ducking, no cuddling on the floor,, toe to toe, thats tough....

actually your wrong, scotland also invented  the highland games, curling, drinking, and mma ( we call it doing a cvnt in) also football ( the real football, not the fake shit you play) is rumoured to have been invented by us too. although its widely accepted the english invented it.

and i agree golf is not a sport thats as tough as football etc, baseball yes.

oh and its very boring

[davie]

bro i dont think u wanna get tinto that argument. Im scottish and as patriotic as trhe next guys, but we aint that gus at sports as a hole.
