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.
They wouldn't get away with saying Messi is #1 but with that list they could have slipped him somewhere along the line. There's absolutely no standard, but of course physique plays into it. Jon Bones Jones made the top 10 but do you really think he is one of the top 10 fittest athletes in the world? Or top 100? There's absolutely no way. He's 6'4" with a 7' reach and he's strong with decent cardio and brilliant technique, but it's a very big world out there.
