Most everyone I know that's tried boxing says you don't want to do anything but clinch by the third round.

Damn. That's good. From what to what?

Oh, I meant from what weight to what weight.

Often overlooked are the speed and strength needed by players as they move through the water, and more importantly the fact that players are not permitted to touch the floor.
Yeah, it's hard playing standing up in shallow water. Not touching the floor makes this pretty impossible for most of us.

There's no good answer because "athletisism" can mean about 50 different things, but not much is as mindblowing and shear numbers behind what Eliud Kipchoge can do.

I bet most people on here, like sparring in boxing for 5 rounds, could swim maybe 4 Olympic freestyle laps before dying.
Olympic freestyle laps huh? Sounds like you're just parroting shite and in no way have firsthand experience. Water polo practice is fun, swim practice fricking blows... on top of being much more tiring. Treading water is literally easy af. It is indeed a physical game, but not nearly as physically demanding as purported.

Also, a boxer couldn't come on the tennis court with me and survive. He would cramp up and be looking for air with all the running
I could asbaoultey go in the boxing ring and be fine from an in shape perspective. Wouldn't be that tiring to walk for 10 seconds and then lay on the mat asleep

No chance in rugby. A decent amount of fat/chubby players
