Not bad considering some of the names on the list.

 

[BoysFan4ever]

Wow! That's something.

 

[DoctorChicken]

He's a wimp.

#32, Rich Froning....must be the strongest 5'9" 195 guy around. Wonder if he'd pass a NFL drug test.

actually, he's #46. Still not bad, tho.

Edit: NVM, sports illustrated is goofy.

This list is beyond goofy. Thomas Jones hasn't been a good player in over 5 years, out of the league for 3 years, and he makes the list.

Eh....

I love Jon Jones, but he isn't even sniffing the top-10 most fit MMA fighters. Let alone the top MMA fighter on the list.

Lebron #1 after his performance in the no AC game in the Finals...? I don't think so.

Goofy list, even by SI standards.

 

[Clove]

A punter? Cool

See I was confused with that too because they had a kicker number one. I didn't want to say anything though in case I just didn't understand how it worked. Thanks for putting yourself out there for me.

 

[HeavyBarrel]

Terrible list, SI still sucks.

 

[locked&loaded]

Did they pick names out of a hat? Some of these make no sense.

 

[TwoDeep3]

I wonder what their criteria was to come to these conclusions.

Romo didn't make it?

Idk, but I stopped reading after I saw Reggie Bush with a speed rating of 5.5 and Zdeno Chara with a 6.

And I knew they'd put some Crossfit butthead on there. How are you going put that guy even in the conversation?

 

[dstovall5]

Romo didn't make it?

No, no no. You're looking at the wrong list, he made it, he was #2 if I recall correctly. Jared Lorenzen barely edged out Romo for #1.

Five-time strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski should be one this list. 6'1", 315 pounds, ripped/shredded, benched personal best 640 pounds. Just on pure strength he should be listed.

See the above post about five-time strongman Mariusz Pudzianowski. He does Crossfit training as well. Google that guy and tell him that he's a crossfit butthead.

 

[jobberone]

A punter at 50?
