which athletes are in the best shape?
- Thread starter semtex
- Start date
And here are the Adrian Peterson types from Rugby -
5"11 210 runs 100m around 10.4
6"2 240lbs runs 100 10.66
They are both faster than Peterson and in the case of Rokocoko he's bigger and would outrun him in a 100m dash. Rugby players are incredible athletes, a lot of their power is in their legs.

AGAIN: This discussion is not "what is your favorite sport"...No one in their right mind would put hockey players in this discussion unless they loved that sport. How about professional curlers?
stfu, hockey players need to be in top shape for the amount of games they play in a year combined with what their doing on the ice. curling is totally different man
but
boxing imo would still be number 1.
What about triathalon athletes?

Are you guys not reading the thread. I posted a guy(decathlete) who shhits on just about everyone. No one has made a compelling argument against it. Read the thread man.

the multitude of decathletes arent all that strong tho, just the one you posted
in example theres a handful of "strong" soccer players too but that doesnt make them as a whole the best athletes
i dont think yall understand how beastly defensive ends are though
:dro:

But defensive end is a position within a sport where it doesn't take supreme athleticism to dominate. You can be Peyton Manning or Dan Marino and be considered the best. It does not work that way for Decathletes. If you are not the best at your sport you don't eat.
On average a decathlete will be able to perform most sports at a higher level than any other athlete. Why? because their sport encompasses every movement possible.
Can any of the defensive ends run sub 2 minutes in a 800?
you could say decathlete is a sub position of olympic athlete if you wanted to go that route :cheff: and i disagree with the they do everything notion
i dont see how running distance is admirable...it means you are adept at fleeing :dro:

I'm just going to stop responding to you guys.
@Malta has given a compelling argument for rugby, but that's because a ronnie lott kept saying football players.
Now you saying defensive end. Lol And you got Auburn all in your signature. It's cool man. Football is your favorite sport.
Probably the dumbest thing ever said when looking at the title of thread.

you say all that, but youre only making a case for decathlete, when they do such strenuous activity like javelin throw :dro:
there isnt much compelling about your argument outside of that one player...and i said Defensive end with my first post in this thread
also...you say its dumb...i say its accurate :cheff:

They're both widely accepted as the fastest men in Rugby, and are faster than everyone in this video - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wbnUWjXJvs]FASTEST MEN IN RUGBY EVER...[VERSION 2] - YouTube[/ame]
You can't tell me dudes in that video aren't flying. I used to be jaded towards rugby athleticism, then started watching some of it and there are some flat out special athletes playing.
that is some acceleration 
however...does it look faster because of the other players?
how fast do you think Danny Woodhead would be without pads
So you didn't watch the video? Cause the dude who I said was fast aint white. he runs 10.3 100mFunny thing is, he isn't even big but you still see him piledriving 20 stone + dudes into the floor.
280 lbs
however...does it look faster because of the other players?

This dude is built like a chimpanzee (5"11 210), he's taller and heavier than Woodhead

Didn't Chris Johnson run a 10.38? And he's about 20lbs lighter than this dude. That dude is out, legs moving like he's Sonic the Hedgehog and that display of speed at 2:38 is crazy considering the rugby pitch is bigger than a football field length wise.
