milk and honey Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 prime mcgregor, ronaldo, gronkowski, antony joshua, and for hockey Jagr has to be there. a guy playing at 44 even when he was out of the league for a couple of years. whatever his diet plan and work out plan was sure worked. add in he has remained mostly healthy with no pulled muscles or anything off the top of my head. usain bolt is insane as well.

Just 80 minutes of non-stop physicality and speed. I played at school and I haven't been as exhausted after playing a game of any sport as I was rugby. Barrett is a hell of a player but I thought he was pretty mediocre in the Autumn Tests. From a Scottish perspective Stuart Hogg is pretty to exciting to watch as well and among the best in the world. That's something we haven't had in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Baseball. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you've clearly never played baseball (looking forward to your reply about how you were an all-star high school player and still never thought it was hard). It requires a lot of speed, timing, hand-eye coordination, and the hardest thing in professional sports is trying to hit a pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't think he would look out of place even in the All Blacks squad and I haven't said that about any Scotland player in the last 20 years, if ever.

How about a legendary player that was an allstar at both pitching AND hitting? (Babe Ruth - a fair number of people don't know he was a fantastic major league pitcher before switching). No steriods....just hot dogs to build his physique lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't a coindence that you rarely see a player play competitive baseball at an elite level for long. Usually most baseball players' skills start to deteriorate at the age of 30-33. This. People who don't understand the game or the mentally taxing nature of it don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also say hitting a half court short with 1second left on the clock is harder I would say KOing in boxing is harder as well. I am sure I can think of other things if i had more time.

If you don't understand it, I can see where it can seem boring. But that is like tons of other sports (soccer is another one off the top of my head that gets a bad reputation).

Boxing and soccer are far more boring to watch than baseball. Not to mention soccer is nothing but players taking dives to create attention cos the sport has apparently never thought to add more referees to the field.

I'm not saying, saving a penalty kick doesn't involve any skill at all, but it's more luck than anything. I read, 75% of World Cup's PK are goals. Kind of one sided for the kicker.

A flawed argument. I love baseball. And to the idiot you quoted to who thinks there are a bunch of fat guys chewing tobacco in baseball: again, you're an idiot. I'm sure he's thinking of some player from 30 years ago which only goes to show how out of touch he is. You can be fat and do a lot of sports (boxing and MMA especially).

Too much curruption in boxing (judging) & soccer (FIFA). About the only organization more corrupt is probably the IOC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
