I find the topic most interesting too. My immediate thought was rugby too but many here have made great points about other sports.
I was high school wrestler too and I get what Proximity said. But one can wrestle the toughest dude out there and the pain level is low on the mat. (Practice is another kind of pain.) But getting punched in the nose/face multiple times; or trying to stop a 260 pound guy on a rugby pitch with no pads on; or trying to run fast in the last few miles of a marathon; or trying to steer a 1,000 pound horse over a dozen fences or more without breaking your neck all seem like higher degrees of toughness to me.
MMA not mentioned by me above because I choose not to watch. I probably would have skipped the Roman Colosseum too.
