The best athletes?

[KostyaTszyu44]

Rowers and cyclist perform best in Cardio tests.

yeah but many boxers have up and down periods in their fitness

when in training they are unquestionably fit and strong but out of training many are blubberballs

they train so hard, so they need to break after every fight

i brought this up cos i remember hearing they did one of those tests/physical challenge things with all the athletes and hatton was representing boxing, he was out of shape and lazy as hell lol and just took it lightly and did poor

athletes like cyclists etc who dont train as hard, (that includes physical punishment), but keep it up all year will do better in those sorts of things

a boxer would do better if they were in training camp, but when in camp they dont have time to **** around with celebrity physical challneges etc because training camp is serious

best I can do short notice, the main source of this knowledge was a college video for a biology class.

i also agree with that
the skill set, comes from the amazinmg fitness that boxers have
i mean running past men, can't be more competetive than running through them
but overrall i guess you could say it all depends on the athlete, and not the sport

I don't think there is a huge correlation between skills and fitness.

Look at someone like James Toney. He can still be competitive in fights, even though he's fat and out of shape.

Which has little to do with 'amazing fitness' and everything to do with his amazing skill set.

i think the althelets who are in the best shape would be jockeys, or ping pong players.

Table Tennis players do have to be pretty fit. But I wouldn't say they're super-fit. I

lols. awesome skill there.

I forgot to say, the best squash players really are super fit. Anyone who's played squash competitively will know that you need to be pretty fit to be a squash player.

[KILLA RIGHT]

I would have to say NFL Running Backs are the fittest. they are the most complete athletes in the world. they have to be big, strong, fast, quick and agile. no athlete has to be all of those things to that extent.

WHAT? Jerome bettis? He wasn't fit and it's true they have long periods of rest
