Which Sport Has The Best Athletes? | The Extra Point 

What sport do you think it is? Do you agree with the panel of "experts"?

Lmao they’ve never played sports.

The fact gymnastics came in 7th says it all tbh. These guys are so uneducated on most of the sports on that list.

Their lack of knowledge of wrestling bothers me.

The guy on the left is about to get punched.

Quick list of some issues: -Boxing is often referred to as chess with hands. Requires a lot of intelligent play. Not to mention the immense footwork involved. -if you consider hockey leisurely, you're fooling yourself. -genetic prowess does not equal successful athlete -baseball does require analytical aptitude, but to give that a 10 and not the other sports is silly -soccer players strength train. They are strong. -wrestling doesn't just require hand eye coordination, it requires overall proprioception -wrestling requires quick decision making followed by quick movement to get into advantageous positions. Speed and analytical aptitude. -being able to get into a "zen" state during a fight should be a sign of large amounts of nerve, not a low amount of nerve nerve -I agree that there isnt much analytical aptitude to gymnastics, but it requires maaaaaasive amounts of strength, agility, speed, and overall proprioception. Way underrated. Can we have a follow up video where you all try high end training for all of these sports?

kind of funny to hear you guys analyze sports you [obviously] never played at a higher competition level, still fun to watch!

You guys should all share your sports history. I bet Zack was really good at World of WarCraft

Pound for pound strength: gymnastics, wrestling Athletic: soccer, tennis, martial arts. These guys have insane endurance and are classically considered athletic. Overall strength: football Basketball takes a lot of endurance but soccer beats that. So it’s just average overall. Baseball is the least athletic. Good hand eye coordination but in terms of physical strength and endurance it lacks. These are my opinion. I’ve played tennis, soccer, baseball, and gymnastics so I like to think I have a pretty good idea.

High key their list don’t mean anything if boxing wasn’t hard to do anyone could be a boxer

Literally feel like they never played or even know what sports are.. Fire them and give me the job guaranteed they are the worst candidates

My top 10 on this specific criteria has got be: 1:Mixed Martial Arts 2:Boxing/Kickboxing 3:Rugby 4:Hockey (Ice and Field) 5:American Football 6:Soccer and Handball 7:Basketball 8:Tennis, Badminton and Squash 9:Baseball and Cricket 10:Swimming, Running and Cycling

but as a taekwondo and muay thai guy i do appreciate the high score XD of and i promise you our nerve is fine those shots still hurt a ton XD

Calling ice hockey leisurely wtf

You guys don’t know anything about boxing

Looking at individual athletes, I think that cornerbacks are really a step above the rest. They have to keep up with some of the fastest people on the planet while reading everything else that's happening in the play. On top of that, they have to take and make big hits like every other football player.

I’m a tennis player and I still think that gymnastics should be number 1. I mean you gotta be kidding. Those people are superhuman beings. They are like real life superheroes.

The guy with the beat up lip got beat up by a boxer lol

Football does need agility

I honestly enjoyed this. So genuine. No schtick

I gotta say football just because they have to have the best combination of power and speed

Wow! These people haven’t even the slightest clue. Amazing.

She went full Owen Wilson with that "wow"

As someone who as played many sports. Track, basketball, powerlifting, wrestling, tennis, swim, football, and soccer. Wrestling is by far the hardest in terms of physicality. However, when it comes to athletes. Basketball has some crazy fuckers.

Martial arts and boxing are clearly number one.

Prime nadal would work Westbrook as an athlete. Nadal could’ve played any sport he wanted to, he is insanely athletic

Australian Rules Football beats all of these. It is a 360 degree game that requires all of the explosive sprinting/jumping of Basketball, the tackling/wrestling of rugby/nfl... all amidst running a half marathon every game.

You have to be extremely agile as a linemen. Hand eye coordination, no. But when you have defensive ends who are attempting to charge around you, and you have to pretty much back peddle to block them, neutralize their moves, it requires a ton of agility (relative to the size of the players of course)

1. Martial arts 2.Wrestling 3. Soccer (It's called football!) 4.Boxing

Eye feet coordination 💯

why is cricket so underrated

Football players hands down best athletes in the world

In my opinion basketball requires the most amount of analytical aptitude, not only because teams run so many different plays, but you have to be able to make multiple reads on the fly, constantly communicate to your teammates, while being yelled at by crowds in close proximity. Basketball IQ is one of the most important aspects in the game.

I think we all took a side after the first sport 😂 Also, as a tennis player, gymnastics is definitely way harder than tennis 😂😂😂

We wrestlers wear headgear for a reason, to not get cauliflower, etc.

How is track not on this list😂😂😂

Wrestling is a martial art...

They have never seen Muhammad Ali just dancing away Dokes's punches. THAT shoes where the intellect in boxing is at

3 for agility and 3 for analytic judgement? You've never seen lightweight boxing, have you?

I agree with the top spot on this list, other ones are questionable

Gymnast are your most physically impressive athletes. Best over all covering all categories is baseball except in endurance. Unless your a pitcher, DH, or first baseman you have to be very athletic. And even thought those positions often don’t have the best “athletes” they master a specific area of the sport (hitting or pitching).

I play hockey and no u can’t just go in any time u know when to

It has to be football ( american). American football players are very fast, they jump higher then any other sport, they have excelent agility, they are strong as fuck, thats why all of them are pumped and have above 200lbs, a lot of them also know tricks from gymnastics ( for example the roundoff backflip, back handspring...). If i forgot something add it in reply, also sorry for my bad english misspelling.

Basketball by far has the best athletes. Only so few can make it so its the best of the best. Tall, fast, strong athletes unlike most sports

The fact that boxing and wrestling has generally low scores for "nerve" is hilarious. I hate that you're making me drop comments before finishing, but there's so much wrong here.

4 people who look like they couldn't even run after the ice cream man rating athletics.

Damn you know what's crazy?. . . Even though there was no scientific, empirical process to how they made their conclusions on a second look when you you think about it their list actually makes sense.

How can martial arts be over Boxing?

you guys arnt really into combat sports are you XD

The guy on the left clearly has never been punched in the face. Typical casual who thinks it's easy until they step in the ring.

Damn where is track and field??? 😂😂

i would say martial arts specialy wrestling boxing and mma

Badminton: Rudi Hartono from Indonesia.

Wrestling and BASEBALL

Try track and field

Boxing takes a decent amount of analytical aptitude to not get your shit pushed in but hey that’s jus me

They give score on how much they like the sport🧐

For someone who used to wrestle you need a lot of endurance , strength and skilled it’s not like wrestling your little Brother in your living room

You should get water polo and rugby... you would be surprised

No ice hockey has more than 30 seconds in a shift

Nice

have these guys played sports

wheres lacrosse

good

Should get actual athletes do the ranking since most athletes respect other sports and understand what it take to be good at whatever the other sport is, and btw wrestling, boxing and martial arts should be the in same category and number 1 on the list in my opinion.

1. Boxing 2. Baseball 3. Soccer 4. Tennis 5. Hockey 6. Football 7. Basketball 8. Wrestling 9. Martial Arts 10. Gymnastics

nice

Football wins easily to me, boxing is up there and of course basketball, but when it comes to football, I don’t think most people understand how fast 300 pound lineman are moving off the line of scrimmage. And a lot of those lineman can dunk a basketball, there pure athletes and explosive.

How is the woman the only person who got it right on boxing?

Gymnastic must get a 10 in strength. Just enter ring gymnast in the youtube search a look what they are doing and how their body's look like.

I feel that ice hockey is the best and most athletic

The fact the didn't even consider endurance sports which are the hardest by far...

Boxing for sure. Only people saying CrossFit is crossfitters and Reebok

Gotta be waterpolo

Faxxxxx

Put some effert into scoring and makeing the catigories next time

Basketball is definitely the most athletes there are more of them and they are all very athletic

Clearly none of these guys have actually watched Hockey. Endurance = 5. Pretty much the shortest shifts of all sports. Strength = 7. Hockey is the only 'non-fighting' sport that allows fighting. Just saying. Speed = 9. Skating is faster than running therefore it should be one of the highest if not the highest. Agility = 5. Its much harder to be agile with skates on ice than it is sneakers on court therefore I feel like the sport 'standard' is lowered. Nerve = 10. 3:58 "seem so leisurely''...right... What other sport do athletes block 100 KM/H shots so 'leisurely' lol... Hand Eye = 10. With how fast Hockey is its crazy how quick some players reaction times are and how small the puck is. Aptitude = 9. So many set plays per faceoff, cycling in each zone and back-checking. It should be the next highest after Football. Ex: Tyler Toffoli scoring in under a second off the faceoff. Bonus category - Toughness = 11. Hitting, high-sticking, slashing, fighting, blocking shots, falling on Ice and 82 games/season(not counting Playoffs). Definitely need to be tough to play Hockey.

What about BMX racing

gymnastics

Rugby?

bruh no knowledge on how much strength soccer players need. Different positions have different requirements. Coming from a boxer who played basketball and soccer, soccer is much more physical and their alot of strong players out their. Try playing it one day and you will see how much more strenght it requires than basketball

Having done Martial Arts, Boxing, Dancing, Soccer, Wrestling, gymnastics I would say Martial Arts is the lowest, Boxing and Wrestling should be way higher. I'd say Boxing is probably the hardest out of all. In boxing if you take a break you will get knocked the ff out. Wrestling is very similar, you need endurance strength more than other sports.

I thought football would be higher

Rugby should have been in there

Baseball should be way higher

Have you ever watched a single sport ever?

I think baseball should have been above soccer because in baseball at least they play until someone wins

I'd like to see a drunk dude beat a real boxer😂

Gymnast the best athletes. Take all the athletes on that list and see who performs the best at each other's sports.

Which one of those sports have you guys played? I disagree with a lot of your arguments

Motocross isn't on people's radars because most people don't do it, but the fitness level of the pro racers is ridiculous. I've done martial arts, ran track, and played several ball sports, but none of them demand as much of my body as putting in hard laps of motocross

Your forehead is shiny Your forehead is shiny Your forehead is shiny

Fighting?

Race drivers are the most athletic NASCAR,F1,IndyCar some people who are dumb and ignorant will argue with me on this but that is only because they know nothing about the sport of racing. drivers have to train incredibly hard to put their bodies through extremely hot temperatures upto 140 degrees inside their cars g forces and the strength it takes to control a heavy race car at 200 miles per hour plus the mental toll it takes on a driver

Which Sport Has The Best Ref? - Aussie rules - Seriously, watch them throw the ball back in like a bride throwing the bouquet

Wtf? That guy in the, let me spar you mate

Rugby needs everything literary.

Literally the women knows the most about sports here

Golf is a hobby
