Bodybuilding vs Boxing - Which is Harder?

The only difficult/hard part about Body Building is the diet and the drugs IMO.......

I got made to do a bit of boxing in the forces, but I wasn't very good and usually got hammered - I can say without doubt that Boxing is far harder than lifting weights.

In fact I will go on to say that IMO most sports are 'harder' than BB (diet and drugs excluded) as they usually involve a weights conditioning programme.

Look at it this way:

Rugby - Lift heavy weights, CV, drills and then go out an play a game getting smashed to bits.
Boxing - Lift weights, loads of CV and conditioning then get in a ring where some bloke is trying to knock your head off.
Judo - Lift heavy weights, CV and drills, then go out and fight some bloke who is either trying to strangle, break one of your arms, or smash you head first into the ground.
Body Building - Lift heavy weights minimal CV then smother yourself in marmite, pop on a pair of budgie smugglers and wander about on a stage with some music playing.

That is all :)
 
It depends if you are a good bodybuilder or not.

Technically lifting and training is as complex as boxing if you do it right.

Different aspects go into all sports.

A sport is only as hard as you make it via how good you want to be at it.
 
Agreed, although I imagine pre-fight nerves would be pretty intense.

pre stage nerves are no different, standing in front of 1-3k people in your underpants is like the old nightmare of being in school naked.

i thought it was galaxy chocolate and ice cream?? :D

Or was that the 2nd time????

lol, we both know at 1.5weeks out i had decent enough bf levels to compete and only had to drop water and a tiny bit more fat ;)

Fear got the better of me big time. Suppose thats when having people near you that have done it can help.

:lol:

I'm thinking of more the super fights, like being Ricky Hatton stepping into the ring against Mayweather. Knowing your opponent is the best in the world, in a violent sport with FAR more people watching than any BB show. Different type of nerves I suppose.
 
Boxing is so much harder!

At pro level
Been a coach to both and boxers do gym work
And harder cv
And physical work
And skill work
And diet
And get Hurt
And condition

It's a different genre but the facets also require u to out class or skill another building is stood posing and subjective
Bb is also not a sport is it!

anyone can compete at any time! where they will place however is all down to who turns up on the day
You can be ripped and still be beat by a bigger guy, you can be bigger than all but be beat by a ripped skinny dude.

Yup, you didnt have far to go, which makes it all much more of a face palm moment!!!

And also why i started kicking myself for it 9 months later..just like everyone told me i would at the time but didnt listen. Live and learn.
 
This is a wind up thread, I will see how it progresses, if turns into trash talk going to close it!!
