I'm inclined to think they all are
The hardest ones to judge are race car drivers, even though they have extremely hard fitness programs now and its a year round thing. Racing is also extremely mental now too, its a life and death thing, you're relying on others to be safe, and others to have assembled something thats not going to kill you. It involves a lot of hand/eye coordination and skill. Is it something that requires you to be the most athletic in the world? No but still athletes now.
Same with wrestling. Anymore with the things they do, or at least most of them, they have to be athletes. Not all but then again how many of us would look at David Wells or Big Papi and say he looks athletic [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.
this post is worthless...
