Who are the fittest sportsmen?

Amateur wrestlers at Olympic level are freaks of nature.

Maybe a difference between skill, fitness, and athleticism? I always wonder if decathletes end up not doing a single event because they are great at everything, or just not outstanding at anything?

Decathletes will record times or distances that would get them at least to at best maybe a semi final of any Olympic or World championship tournament except for the last event, 1500m, they all seem to huff and puff their way through that one, legs have probably gone by then though.

Squash players have got to be up with the fittest in sport.

I'd like to see how far a triathlete would go in a boxing fight.

Its all horses for courses. Some things are all stamina and cardio - others require a mix of very different things

I can do it all whilst fighting the mrs to find time to train!!
