On Topend Sports: What are the Fittest Sports?
On topendsports.com, the page that generates the most discussion is about the world's fittest sports. The extensive list by ESPN has boxing as the most demanding, but a large number of commenters think that motocross should be up there. In actual fact motocross is not even listed in the list of 60 sports! The list has been criticized for its North American bias, I think sports from elsewhere in the world such as Australian Football and Hurling should also be high on the list.
