Fastest NFL player this season was Metcalf running at 22.53mph/35.73kmh. That's not even in the top 10 of fastest NRL players this season.
>euros/aussies/asians etc don't really understand the level NFL players are at.
You mean at the bottom? Yeah, we know. Those fat shitters play like 10 minutes in total out of 2 hour game.
Are you moronic? Rugby guy easily looks more athletic. He's leaner and more defined while the football guy is just a builtfat in a shoulder-frauding suit.
Jesus you homosexuals are pathetic.
I'd guess rugby is more balanced, gridiron has more specialization but both sports reward and filter for athleticism.
Rugby is, for most positions, less explosive and more cardio based. Play is more continuous with less time between downs and resets so it's pretty gruelling. Going as hard as NFL players do in rugby would exhaust you quickly. Some very athletic rugby players like Bryan Habana and Jonah Lomu have a more explosive style reminiscent of American football players but it isn't the norm.
best metric would be 4minute max speed sprint, and muscle strength heaviest lift ever. ROSS EDGELY.
Both strongman and swimmed acrossed the england ocean.
second choice would be the best sportsman from the UFC
Ancient Olympian or a Nordic Hero like Beowulf.
Most likely an ancient Neanderthal-human hybrid who was a freak among his own tribe and said tribe were already the most physically fit specimens to ever exist.
>and said tribe were already the most physically fit specimens to ever exist.
Ancient humans could not compete at all with modern athletes on steroids.
Nah, they literally had more muscle attachments and more efficient muscular structure.
Maybe not overall, but Gravettians definitely could and so too could Neanderthals and Neanderthal Gravettian hybrids.
A Man on steroids will NEVER EVER come close to a gorilla in strength. While a Neanderthal can come close to a gorilla in strength based on the analysis of their bone pitting.
Its nice to think youre the peak of human evolution, but they were breaking rocks with their fists. modern humans, regardless of their muscle, can not exceed what their skeletal structure can endure.
>While a Neanderthal can come close to a gorilla in strength based on the analysis of their bone pitting.
You realize modern humans have Neanderthal DNA still and it doesn't make them super athletes.
Do you realize someone with 35-75% Neanderthal admixture (all coding btw) may appear and function differently than someone with 2% Neanderthal admixture of which none of it is coding?

Cross bows had more penetration power thanks to being able to support a higher draw strength than bows. A long bow is unwieldy to aim straight ahead, but was great for long distances.
Crusades are hundreds of years before full plate and that feat if real would have been against skellies with no protection. Heavy winch driven crossbows could pierce chainmail reliably and early plate in some areas at close range.
Crossbows were powerful enough to penetrate the armor, but the real reason knights in full plate and formation disappeared was because of Swiss pikemen (not gunpowder - chest armor was still worn long into the gunpowder age)
For the most part, they didn't. If they did, it would be at close range and hitting thinner parts of the harness. By the time something like that was being worn, the main threat to it was guns.
Still has trouble with plate armor.
Everything, even early firearms, had trouble with plate armor.
Crossbows were falling out of military use around the year 1500, when armour like that was invented, as everyone was adopting guns (both the hold in your hands kind and the tow around on a carriage kind) as the main missile weapon. Meme author is a historylet.
It's easy to mass produce crossbows and train in how to use them
Target their horses
The Italians/Genoese had a nifty shield called the Pavise which they would use as cover but there was a gadget behind the shield that aided in reloading the crossbow faster, so every time they'd duck into cover, they used the gadget on the back of the shield to reload faster and could pop up and shoot at a higher rate of fire.
Crossbows are pretty punchy.
Everything isnt a frickin charge, also most required being on foot. Knights would often still have armor and an arquebus/crossbow for cavalry charges or for their notorious antics of ignoring the battle so they could duel other knights.
Whoops I got it wrong, it's not a device on their shield, it's hung from their belts, like a weird cup. Still the same concept, plant the shield on the ground as cover, when the duck behind cover they can use the gadget on their belt to help reload/draw the crossbow, so when they stand up they're ready to fire.
They exist in every country except America, you just don't have a sporting culture. In other countries you can also do amateur sport at any age and skill level.
Sports in the US are organized and pseudo-professional on every level, you don't have a culture where people pick many different physical activities throughout their life and learn on their own initiative, you have a culture of "I played that in high school"

We do, though. Organized sports doesn't mean pickup casual play doesn't exist. Basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball and touch football(gridiron) are most popular, but kids play many different games on the street and back yards. Obviously soccer is relatively less common than in other countries. The US is also a really big place and there are regionally popular sports like rodeo.

If 8 billion humans fought in a fighting tournament it would take around 34 rounds to have a world winner.
I often wonder who could win that tournament and I would say it would be pic related. He is the most athletic person to currently live in my opinion.
Let's see you keep your guard up for 5 rounds of 5 minutes you dumg ignorant sack of shit. I'm not asking you to block Jon Jones punches or avoid getting knocked the frick out 30 seconds into the fight, just 25 minutes of you circling around the octagon without dropping your hands. You don't need to waste energy throwing punches or kicks, dodging, grappling, defending take downs... Just 25 minutes and you have 5 breaks of 1 minute each. Can you hold up to the task moron?
Male humans evolved to FIGHT, it's the epitome of athleticism: it's a combination of strength, speed, endurance, agility, balance, and coordination.
So shut the frick up.
Not the guy deep-throating Jon Jones and shilling "humans evolved to fight" but he's right about the meaning of athleticism. Climbing a mountain is not a balanced test of athleticism at all. Parkour is, though, despite being nothing like UFC.

Look at the clip of Jon jones playing basketball. He’s an amazing fighter but he’s nowhere near the best athlete in the world
NTA but yeah, "athletic skill" is nonsense language in this context. In a discussion like this, skill is separate from athleticism.
Skills involves technique and practice. Skill is about doing something highly specific in the correct way. With MMA this includes skill executing specific techniques and using them effectively during a match (whether you call that strategic or tactical or whatever).
Athleticism is raw physical ability. Speed, strength, agility, flexibility and quickness. MMA does demand a high level of athleticism but the skill component is not the same as the athletic component. You need a to meet a (high) level of athleticism to perform martial arts effectively, but a fight is not a mere test of athleticism. Given any two fighters, there's no guarantee at all that the more athletic of the two will win. So being the best fighter isn't guarantee of being the most athletic.
Except that some sports focuses more on the pure athletic ability in their competitions like track and field and strenght sports. The most athletic person of all time is probably some decathlon or crossfit competitor
Hard to argue someone good at polo is not as athletic as a good cricket player. Now you could say that mike tyson would beat the shit out of both individuals and youd be right, whereas one could easily argue the cricket player would more easily play polo than the polo player play cricket.
being good at fighting isn't the same as being the most athletic. even if you are correct that he could beat everyone else on earth in a fight, he would definitely not beat everyone else on earth in other displays of athleticism
I would think it would be all men by round 10 for sure, I can't really be bothered to do the accurate math but come on, I don't see grandpas and children making it past round 5 or women making it past round 10
>Greatest fighter of all time
Sure, this man in his prime beats every single human being on the planet. >Most athletic
Nah, not really. Those are different things really. In fighter terms I would say some guys like Karelin or Saitiev in their primes were more athetic

no, they were all taking the red blood cell maxxing drugs that olympic cyclists take
Also olympic weightlifting is cardio, just like any other repeated ballistic movement
I had the same thought. Current hunter-gatherers spend all day running and hunting and don't even break a sweat. most athletic person was probably some genetic masterpiece hunter-gatherer from 40,000 years ago
Lee is a good one because on top of the martial arts, acrobatics and athleticism he did shit like fencing, was a skilled dancer and trained with a variety of methods, there is a range to his competences most specialized athletes don't have
There's probably some legendary apex predator caveman we'll never know about that fought sabretooths with his bare hands or some other absolutely wild shit.
In recorded knowledge - it would have probably been some spartan , it really can't be anyone modern because the land , the food, the soil and all that shit was better in the best. And spartans were a military society from the ground up.
Another group to not underestimate are monks - I remember hearing a story about some monk in Ethiopia or something that wanted something back from some thieves or something / some dishonor had occurred and the dude swam across a huge body of water to get to the thieves and kicked their asses once he got there and swam back - just to prove a point.

He was slaying left and right and he even joked with her when she asked him several times before. He was passing her shit tests with flying colors but ultimately...
But ultimately he succumbed.
Also, she was a prostitute.
So the lesson is not pussy.
Never let prostitute know your your intimate things, your source of Power.
Simple.
And still valid today. You may even frick prostitutes just dont let em get close lol.

Is this the moral of the story?
the story says he took harlots before delilah. samson wasn't a "good guy" , besides frequenting harlots he, for example, set fire to a bunch of guy's houses to avoid paying a debt.

>"Milon of Croton used to eat 20 pounds of meat and as many of bread, and he drank three pitchers of wine. And at Olympia he put a four-year-old bull on his shoulders and carried it around the stadium; after which, he cut it up and ate it all alone in a single day." >—Theodorus of Hierapolis, On Athletic Contests, cited by Athenaeus in the ancient text The Deipnosophists (also known as The Philosophers' Banquet), a 15-volume tale of a lengthy feast written around A.D. 200.
Seriously tho, there's this photographer who has a book comparing a lot of athletes side-by-side. He made them shave body hair and put on oil which is a bit weird, but it's still great food for thought to see what kind of body type excels at different sports and athletic skills.
Fricking hell, that's 168kg at 175cm... BMI of 54 kek. What a unit.
At that weight he could dunk a basketball and do a backflip, an absolute legend who really competed in two sports powerlifting then only later picking up Olympic lifting and becoming the most accomplished men’s lifter for the states in his class
i know nothing about nfl, how come they are so fat, aren't they supposed to be running around all the time?
These are the tank specialist. Others are runners, some protest the runners, another guy throws the ball... or runs himself, some guy specializes in kicking the ball only. Different roles different rolls (physiques).
Lesnar because hes just an allround athlete. he couldve chosen any sport he wanted and he would be top 10 of all time in that sport. (and he chose to spent it pretend fighting...)

this guy is bigger, stronger, and faster than EVERY rugby player. immeasurably athletic in side to side and agility drills, hand eye, etc compared to fricking rugby players
0 competition to become a pro rugby player you can just be a plumber or whatever and show up
The inconvenient truth is that the most athletic person was/is in their prime the last 20 years or so, since tren was not widespread before then. For freakish size/strength/athleticism I am going to have to go with nfl players.
There was evidence of some gigachad meat-only tribal hunter's fossilized stride and it indicated he was far faster and had far more endurance than any recorded human in history.
Go back in time and find ugaChad and you'll find your man.

wdym athletic? Do you mean explosiveness, if so then my money's on an NFL player that can both jump high, run really fast and is stupid strong.
If by athleticism you mean a mix of endurance, explosiveness, strength and agility then I'd say it has to be a fighter, it's one of the only sports where all facets of athleticism are equally important, you need to be agile, explosive, strong and have great endurance.
That said who's the best fighter purely by attributes?
I'm gonna have to give it to GSP, he has the greatest balance. GSP has way more endurance than say an NBA player, he's way more athletic than your average premier league player, he's way stronger than an endurance runner.
If siz is also a factor (meaning bigger is better) then it's Lebron James and it's not even close. Huge 6'9 260 with a 44 inch vert, insanely fast and strong, great endurance and he's also never had any major injury
Probably some rugby player or decathlete

How did crossbows beat them?
Crossbows can have an insane amount of draw strength. Some could shoot through 5 men.
Slower to reload
Longbows? More like overcompensationbows
Cross bows had more penetration power thanks to being able to support a higher draw strength than bows. A long bow is unwieldy to aim straight ahead, but was great for long distances.
Still has trouble with plate armor.
Bows take years to train and master.
Early guns and crossbows don't
There were plenty of experienced bowmen of course, on account of laws requiring bow training and it being a very common thing to own.
>Some could shoot through 5 men.
Balistas, not crossbows I think
No, crossbow
There is texts from crusades describing exactly this
Even the Pope forbidden the use of the crossbow against a christian enemy
Crusades are hundreds of years before full plate and that feat if real would have been against skellies with no protection. Heavy winch driven crossbows could pierce chainmail reliably and early plate in some areas at close range.
Crossbows were powerful enough to penetrate the armor, but the real reason knights in full plate and formation disappeared was because of Swiss pikemen (not gunpowder - chest armor was still worn long into the gunpowder age)
>Crossbows were powerful enough to penetrate the armor,
No.
American shits should refrain from posting in any threads about history.
If you're wearing only a chest plate, then you're not a knight.
For the most part, they didn't. If they did, it would be at close range and hitting thinner parts of the harness. By the time something like that was being worn, the main threat to it was guns.
Everything, even early firearms, had trouble with plate armor.
Crossbows were falling out of military use around the year 1500, when armour like that was invented, as everyone was adopting guns (both the hold in your hands kind and the tow around on a carriage kind) as the main missile weapon. Meme author is a historylet.
The biggest thing with crossbows is it took years to train a longbowman. It took like a day to train someone in crossbow.
Also the progress of metallurgy made ease to make while the Yew tree was basically extinct from europe
It's easy to mass produce crossbows and train in how to use them
Target their horses
The Italians/Genoese had a nifty shield called the Pavise which they would use as cover but there was a gadget behind the shield that aided in reloading the crossbow faster, so every time they'd duck into cover, they used the gadget on the back of the shield to reload faster and could pop up and shoot at a higher rate of fire.

there was no such thing at the time
Samson
>god's greatest warrior
>downfall caused because of pussy
Is this the moral of the story?
its not that simple tho its simple enough.
Pussy wasnt to blame.
He let pussy know HIS POWER SOURCE, now that WAS a problem.
He was slaying left and right and he even joked with her when she asked him several times before. He was passing her shit tests with flying colors but ultimately...
But ultimately he succumbed.
Also, she was a prostitute.
So the lesson is not pussy.
Never let prostitute know your your intimate things, your source of Power.
Simple.
And still valid today. You may even frick prostitutes just dont let em get close lol.
the story says he took harlots before delilah. samson wasn't a "good guy" , besides frequenting harlots he, for example, set fire to a bunch of guy's houses to avoid paying a debt.
his story ends up in redemption but he wasnt a saint for most of the narrative
I really am a runner, fricking hell.
he was far from a good guy stealing girls left and right but he was not punished UNTIL he let her - a bad woman get close.
And that is something frequently seen in Bible and many other books.
Dont let a prostitute get close. Dont chase a prostitute.
>"Milon of Croton used to eat 20 pounds of meat and as many of bread, and he drank three pitchers of wine. And at Olympia he put a four-year-old bull on his shoulders and carried it around the stadium; after which, he cut it up and ate it all alone in a single day."

Seriously tho, there's this photographer who has a book comparing a lot of athletes side-by-side. He made them shave body hair and put on oil which is a bit weird, but it's still great food for thought to see what kind of body type excels at different sports and athletic skills.
>Shane Hamman, weightlifting, 5'9", 370lbs
Fricking hell, that's 168kg at 175cm... BMI of 54 kek. What a unit.
>5'9
>370lbs
Do americans really
At that weight he could dunk a basketball and do a backflip, an absolute legend who really competed in two sports powerlifting then only later picking up Olympic lifting and becoming the most accomplished men’s lifter for the states in his class
>Ham man
athletic types within an NFL team
i know nothing about nfl, how come they are so fat, aren't they supposed to be running around all the time?
Some guys are there just to throw themselves against other guys in the middle of the field
These are the tank specialist. Others are runners, some protest the runners, another guy throws the ball... or runs himself, some guy specializes in kicking the ball only. Different roles different rolls (physiques).
Middle has penis insecurity
air force special soldier troop officer, maybe? Pararescue, or a CIA paramilitary agent (CIA-SAD)?
How is that athletic you fricking moron
theyre athletic but by the nature of their work they focus less on the body and more on the technical.
Lesnar because hes just an allround athlete. he couldve chosen any sport he wanted and he would be top 10 of all time in that sport. (and he chose to spent it pretend fighting...)
>le pro wrestling is pretend fighting
Nice half baked opinion from 20 years ago boomer
He probably got injured all the time. Those gigamen always break their foot by taking a wrong step or whatever. He's addicted to painkillers.
Probably Juji: he is built, does tricking, and can run a 5k in decent time
Clarence Kennedy Kazuma, The Dragon of Dojima
Probably William Marshall
>Born poor with nothing
>Through shear merit worked his way up to be the protector of the baby king
>Won his first melee at 16, which is basically a royal rumble but with real weapons
>Unlike mma gays, EVERY able bodied man had to learn basic weapon combat in the middle ages so melees were some real shit
>Still on battlefields in his seventies, kicking ass, and winning
>served three kings loyally
>Defeated King Richard the Lionheart in single combat during civil war spared his life but killed his horse to send message
>Married to the most eligible maiden in England and France because he was so badass.
>Fathered 10 kids at 43-50 years old
>Buried in the temple church in London
All these MMA and soccer chuds would have been scraped off his boot in like 2 minutes.
yeah, I figure the greatest fighter would be a medieval or pike and shot warrior
>William Marshall
Man, what a based lad. I really need to learn more about the Medieval period.
MMA babbies will claim they burn hotter despite hiding behind weight classes and training less often and less rigorously than medieval peasants.
He didnt beat Richard in single combat, Richard pursued his party but didnt have a lance or shield, and Marshal turned around and lanced his horse.
peter griffin and homie
rugby fans are fricking funny
https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/video/armstead-s-incredible-40-yard-dash-9610310
this guy is bigger, stronger, and faster than EVERY rugby player. immeasurably athletic in side to side and agility drills, hand eye, etc compared to fricking rugby players
0 competition to become a pro rugby player you can just be a plumber or whatever and show up
what the frick are you idiots talking about?
do you even watch anime?
compare the Leg size of a rugBVLL vs an N(igger)F(aggot)L(oser) ape
The inconvenient truth is that the most athletic person was/is in their prime the last 20 years or so, since tren was not widespread before then. For freakish size/strength/athleticism I am going to have to go with nfl players.
There was evidence of some gigachad meat-only tribal hunter's fossilized stride and it indicated he was far faster and had far more endurance than any recorded human in history.
Go back in time and find ugaChad and you'll find your man.
It's concerning you actually believe this shit
Don't worry, he wasn't your ancestor.
Well yea, because he didn't exist. It's something that some random made up and you believe because you want to believe dumb shit.
Nah, it's real and you're projecting your own insecurities onto me because of your mental illnesses. Not gonna work, berry picker.
>Nah, it's real
Prove it then. Show me.
I have the source, but I would rather you stay ignorant and smug. Your blatant denial of facts before even being presented them shows you're not looking for the truth, but for a way to argue. You need to grow up. I'm not gonna spoon feed you, little buddy.
>i have a source
>no i won't show you but it's totally real and legitimate
Just like i thought, you made it up.
hey, I'm not the other anon, but I am very very interested in the carnivore diet, can you pretty please link me a source about the ugaCHAD?
>be a world champion wrestler, the best in the world
>weight 120kg
> 15 seconds into the match this guy picks you up and throws you like a baby
Karelin was an absolute lunatic in his day, he would have destroyed all of the modern heavy weight UFC fighers.
me
Not sure but when I think peak athleticism, I think of gymnastics so probably some insane gymnastics guy
wdym athletic? Do you mean explosiveness, if so then my money's on an NFL player that can both jump high, run really fast and is stupid strong.
If by athleticism you mean a mix of endurance, explosiveness, strength and agility then I'd say it has to be a fighter, it's one of the only sports where all facets of athleticism are equally important, you need to be agile, explosive, strong and have great endurance.
That said who's the best fighter purely by attributes?
I'm gonna have to give it to GSP, he has the greatest balance. GSP has way more endurance than say an NBA player, he's way more athletic than your average premier league player, he's way stronger than an endurance runner.
If siz is also a factor (meaning bigger is better) then it's Lebron James and it's not even close. Huge 6'9 260 with a 44 inch vert, insanely fast and strong, great endurance and he's also never had any major injury
