It's an interesting mix but it reads like a list of the most popular/successful athletes in their respective sports. There's no standard for excellence being brought forward, so while I like that it's vague enough to pay respect to a variety of forms of athleticism, if you're trying to find athletes with the best across-the-board abilities, it's WAY off.

Ronaldo has a vert of 31 inches. No offense to him but that's a garbage vert. The NBA average is something like 27" or 28" but we're talking about 6'7"+ for average height. The best verts in the NBA are high 40s/low 50s in a given year and it's the same in volleyball and powerlifting (yup, check their stats).

He's fast and he has GREAT endurance so there's no question that's he's a remarkable athlete. But #1 in the world. Noooo. How many pro sports could he play and dominate?

e: with his speed, how is it possible to have a vert that low?

fixed for you

Finally

If that was the case how come Messi wasn't #1 on this list? Or even in the top 50 for that matter? Because he might be the best footballer of the last ~ 5 years but he isn't as physically capable as Ronaldo is.



Wait, you do realize there's two different people on that picture, lol?

But yes, good lighting and muscles used in motion will always look better than standing still with poor lighting.

A friend of mine would always cough while taking abs pics cos they looked better while doing so

A) who gives a shit if he takes steroids
There's nothing about his physique that indicates steroids.

why are you trying to keep this pointless thread alive? Neither are even near the most athletic men on earth and def not the most fit, there are tons of physiques I'd take over their's

having a good physique =/= being fit or athletic...

What? Zyzz was healthiest person ever
