It takes a lot of balance to box, having competed in all three, football, boxing, basketball, plus track and field..I will say that boxing requires more from the body than any of those sports with basketball being a distant last. Might I add just for reference that I can currently run 2 miles in 9:10...so thats 4:35 per mile pace. And in a open mile I've gone as low as 4:02. And it still doesn't demand as much as sparring a hard 6 rounds let alone 12 on the level that pros do it.

    So having said that, I don't think that there's a basketball player in the nba that would stand a chance to last more than 2 rounds with either of them. And NFL, I'll give them all a punchers chance, but a very slim one. I mean shaq played basketball his entire life and still didn't manage to match his footwork with his size until late in his career. I mean I've seen Kobe bryant wobbled by a punch from 6'2 190 pound Chris Childs so Vitali knocks his fucking head off easily.

    another thing is one has to address the mentality of each athlete as their chosen profession speaks volume to their mindset in regards to the sport itself. The Klits are doctors boxing because they like it. NBA players cry about hand slaps, and being scratched they constantly scream "OUCH ,FOUL"..So while lebron maybe can jump high and dribble I'd doubt he could withstand the the idea of a punch coming from a man his size.
    You're a sharp runner. Got to give it to ya. But I think it depends what sports you've been a part of longer. My only statement is that Lebron and many of those heavyweights from other sports are more athletic than the Klitschkos. I'm sure if the Klitschkos didn't grow up boxing and came to the sport in their 20s then they would be just an opponent for even a B level guy. Boxing is a specialist sport. You must be involved early to attain success like the top fighters. I've been in boxing almost 20 years and it is not the hardest sport for me. To each's own.

    There's another completely pointless arguement, what the "hardest" sport might be. Any given sport is infinetely difficult, and mastering a physical discipline is completely impossible regardless of how or how often you train. All you can do for arguements sake is compare the playing field and what level of athletes currently take part in a given sport, and anyone who would make an arguement that boxing or MMA currently is anywhere near the top here needs their head checked as far as I'm concerned.
