I compared exactly nothing. I simply believe (and said) that the results obtained by Ali (and MJ) after the comeback are better, for me.
And that the greatness of a comeback it can't be judged by what happened before, but after. Otherwise we talk about careers, not comebacks.
It can be not agreeable, but I can't see what could create confusion, but well..
But you did. You tried to draw a comparison between Tiger's comeback and Ali's comeback. Was that not the point of your first post in here?
Allow me to quote the post,
"Tiger is great. And I'm sure he will surprise the world again. Just a matter of time.
But..the greatest comeback of the history stays (and probably will stay for long..long time) always Mohammed Ali."Not that big of a deal to me but I was under the impression you were drawing a line from one to the other and saying Ali's was more impressive. If not, then my bad for misunderstanding.
But..of what you're talking about? Seriously??
I never compared the two sports. I compared only the value of the two comebacks. And only considering the relative results, not the sports, cause it matters zero on the debate.
If you can't understand the difference, I can do very little about it.
And..is true. I never played golf IRL, sadly.
But (and NOW yes, I'm going to "compare" the two sports for a while, just to clarify a point) I can bet that who says golf is in some way more heavy than boxe in both phisical or mental side, never tried to play boxe (as I did).
Otherwise he would know exactly and easily that, about the mental side, the stress required to avoid a punch, staying meanwhile always, always moving, is something incredible. Maybe only the motorsports is more requiring mentally than a sport in which you must fight against someone else. Cause from your focus it not depends your shot or your score, but your health .if not your life.
No matters the time required. Is the STRENGHT of the stress. Of the focus needed. I never fought on the 12 rounds, but it must be devastating.
What I can simply say is that, when you are on the ring and you receive the first punches, your senses suddenly are amplified. Immensely. Your eyes seems to catch everything, your ears whistles slightly but don't matters cause you can't hear nothing exactly...and the smell..jesus, that smell. And the flavor in your mouth.
Anyway..i can't describe exactly how much draining those few minutes are. How much stressing (and exciting, at the same time) is the fear to receive the punch that could make your knees like rubber.
Only who never tried it, could ever undervalue the mental side of this discipline (that in fact is named discipline, not simply a sport. For various reasons).
Anyway, there is no need to play golf IRL to understand how much stressing it is mentally.
But every individual sport, in his own way, it is. I had the great luck to practice lot of sports in my life..and I appreciated something..and something I learned, by any of them.
Of course, the challenge offered by golf I think is really particular cause you have not exactly an opponent..but just the course and yourself. If you play bad, you can blame only yourself. And you can't simply say that your opponent has been better than you, as in other individual sports. Or, at least, the opponent matters only in second instance. But definitely are just you and the course. And your mind. If you have weaknesses inside you, they will be revealed and it can be an hell.
Of course is draining. A lot. It is already in a videogame! I can't imagine how much it can be IRL.
And..just to be still more clear, i also love golf much more than boxe. But to tell that golf is more stressing or hard than boxe in some way, is simply a statement with no sense, for me. Something that can tell only who never tried what boxe actually requires.
I would be curious to know if there is someone in this community that practiced both the sports. I think he could tell easily if I'm wrong.
