>>37412043
Something i discovered when I got into running as a hobby, there isn't really a concept of general fitness beyond a certain level. Whatever you do a lot of, you'll get better at. For example, a (natty) elite level endurance cyclist will be roughly as good at marathon running as a highly motivated amateur marathon runner, and so on. Both of them would gas out in the first few minutes of rolling with a decent MMA fighter etc. You're probably looking for an athlete who excels in a sport which has a mix of different muscle groups getting hammered and a mix of explosive movement and endurance. I'm guessing soccer players or maybe tennis players? If you want to find the best overall "fittest" person.

fuck right off
>>37412043
Would it not be a strong man? Or rugby/American football players? Since they have decent speed, good cardio, good endurance and are strong as fuck.
>>37415526
Strongmen competitors have notoriously crap endurance, as a result of being that big and never having events that go longer than 90s or so.
American football players tend to be similar but far less extreme in terms of power vs endurance. Its not a sport that relies on being able to go continuously.
>>37415526

>>37413258
>niglet finally gets father figure

Seriously, end this oppression
>>37415575
They actually have great cardio, it's just the logistics of doing heavy movements while weighted down, while being 400+ pounds. Your heart doesn't know all that extra mass is muscle, it just knows it has to work stupid hard to keep you alive/moving.
>>37415626
In my experience, they really don't.
Fast as fuck for their size over short distances (as are heavy throwers like shot putters and highland games athletes for the same reason) but that weight coupled with the lack of intense long-distance cardio in training means they don't have much in the tank when it comes to pure cardio instead of, for lack of a better term, conditioning-style events..
That's just the price you pay for being a 350lb tank putting 500 overhead.
>>37415575
So what qualifies as endurance? Rugby players sure as fuck have more time on the field than boxers or UFC fighters.
Is it Marathon tier endurance?
>>37415580
The OP didn't have lowbfat as a criteria
>>37415643
We're kinda saying the same thing but from different angles. My point is they have very strong hearts and lungs, and are conditioned well. It's just a fact that at that size you do not sustain strenuous activity very long.

>No one has posted LeBron James
>cardio: 10

he can play all 5 positions on his team as well as being arguably the most well-rounded player ever. scores the majority of his points by bullying players running into the paint. he is known for overpowering guys who hold him down when he attempts a layup and still having enough strength to make it. he's also known for chasing a player down the entire court when they have a huge advantage just to catch them and block their layup/dunk
he's also 6'8" and like 270 lbs and runs well over 20 mph when sprinting. not to mention that he runs over 5 miles a game
>>37415107
Literally the best answer
>>37415663
I'm kind of inclined to agree here. Strong, fast, lasts for a long time, of way above average size, extremely good "all rounder", however is not world-beating in any one dimension

>>37412043
>optimal combination of cardio/speed/endurance/strength
this would depend entirely on what you consider "optimal". I would say speed > strength > endurance/cardio for usefulness. being explosive is probably the key physical trait for being successful in a wide range of sports. strength comes next because all physical movement depends on the production of force by your muscles, and the strength and explosiveness of your muscles set the limits for what kind of movement you're capable of. cardio has to be "good enough", but it doesn't have to be very high level unless you compete in endurance sports.

>>37416858
Bruce Lee ran 3 miles at 9+mph as a warmup. Have you actually seen Bruce Lee's body? That guy swells like a velociraptor with those lats. He was fit.
>>37415663
You don't understand how this works. No one can be 10 in all categories. You can't have the strength of a world powerlifter AND the speed of Usain Bolt AND the endurance of a full marathoner AND the cardio of a Tour de France champion.
BTW, there is some conceptual overlap between endurance and cardio. Should replace one with the strangely omitted and highly important criterion of agility.
>>37416974
And Brian Jacks actually competed in a combat sport, then destroyed other athletes at their own games in Superstars.
Bruce Lee was just an actor.
>>37415107
excellent answer.
although I'd love to see a decathlon where 3 of the competitions are substituted with bench press, squat, deadlift. At the moment I think it's inbalanced in a way that gives fast runners an edge.
>>37417003
I don't think YOU get how it works. Almost all of these overlap for a good majority of the time. Having a solid amount of muscle leads to strength. Having low BF% and a good amount of muscle leads to endurance, which leads to a good amount of cardio, which can facilitate good speed with practice. More muscle, endurance, and good respiration leads to powerful, oxygenated muscles capable of performing high-twitch activities for prolonged periods of time. All these things are strictly interlinked.
At some point, the only differential mitigates between speed and strength, where at some point you just have too much muscle mass to be fast, but that point is achieved until you're ~200+ pounds for most men. Take a look at someone like Floyd Mayweather. He excels in all of these things, and mitigates strength and speed to his needs as he desires.
>>37412919
>I don't play any sports at all
Yes, olympic sprinters are highly capable of running far too, they're just not world class at it. He'd still dust your ass in a 10k
>>37417112
you don't seem to understand what the other anon is getting at. If 8 is olympia tier, and 9 is top tier olympia, how should any one athlete be 10 in more than one category? Professional athlete, definitely. But top tier olympia? You really think Ronaldo could even remotely keep up with Usain Bolt or lift like Lü Xiaojun, as some seem to be suggesting here?
>>37412469
Is that chives southslice?
>>37417112
Floyd Mayweather can't cycle a double century (200 miles) in one sitting
Floyd Mayweather can't Squat 1100 lbs
Floyd Mayweather can't run 100 meters in under 10 seconds.
He's not 10/10 in endurance, strength or speed. Given his handwork, I'd concede a 9/10 for speed and, in the 4th missing category of agility, he'd get a 8/10 (he's deft but no gymnast, least of all a world class gymnast). For strength and endurance he'd get 7.

>being incredibly fast whilst having very good stamina (not Tour de France level admittedly but cycling long distances is a completely different sports associated cardio that is in its own level. In terms of general cardio, being able to perform at your peak after 2+ hours (long games and overtime) in a sport with other top athletes is phenomenal.
>strong - Lebron could bench more when he joined the Cavs than the rest of the team. And this is when he FIRST joined the Cavs back in like '03

I would struggle to name a better ALL ROUND athlete. I could think of some running backs or wide receivers in the NFL but they have terrible stamina.
Strength, speed, power and endurance are all plentiful in Lebron.

Pick one. Every pro rugby player is a better pure athlete than EVERY soccer player.
And really, some pro Rugby Union forward is the only answer. There aren't any other 250+ lbs athletes that can run and tackle other 250+ pound athletes for 80 minutes. They would not be as fast as Crissy (though some wingers/fullbacks might be), but they'd have better cardio, endurance, and much, MUCH better strength.

>>37417884
80% of what you listed there is heavily dependent on skill, and thus not a great gage of pure athleticism.
