i was sitting here thinking about what you guys would consider to be the toughest sport/athletes? i will have to vote for bullriders/fighters. just cause i have done that and most of the others in the poll. and rodeo cowboys are some really tough sob's. let's hear it. keep it clean guys.

You have to be part cave man to play rugby.

i have to politely disagree. i will vote for rugby as second though. bulls are around 2000 pounds and have killing somebody on their mind.

In absolute terms the rodeo guys who are bull riders and fighters are the toughest, but ruggers, who else can say that their sport requires leather balls?

How come golfers aren't on the list?
I mean, the choice between pink and lime pants is tough. -

The ride may only last 8 seconds, but if you get hung up it could be close to 30 and feel like a lifetime. Once you're off that bull, it ain't over. Not until you get a fence or gate between you and that bull. -

.....and for the bullfighter it is way worse. we had to stay out there and protect yall crazy arses. may be 8 seconds per ride, but when you turn out 50 bulls a night, it makes a long night. i saw a video one time where a bullfighter explained what he did. "It is like standing on a street corner waiting for a wreck, then jumping into the middle of it" -

That's a perfect example! The bullfighters I worked with always got my utmost respect. I may have been stepped on a time or two, or got into a pretty bad wreck, but it could have been a lot worse had there been no bullfighters. -

The poll means nothing if you don't define tough first.
Tough as in taking a beating -- MMA
Tough as in bravery -- bull-fighter
