this stupid comment always comes up. impossibe to compare.. remember the old superstars competition? trying to find the best athlete out of all the best specialized athletes? track and field guys always won it, or a few other times a soccer player or a race car driver. one time wayne grimdage won it... a water skier. lots of studs out there..
one event, the weightlifting,the athletes walked up to a bar with the weights on it at shoulder height, the athletes picked up the weight and tried to pushpress it overhead.. the record was 280# by carl eller of the minnesota vikings. brian oldfield walked up to the bar, asked what the record was, was told 280#'s. he said put on 300#'s. everybody looked at him like he was nuts. then he did it 5 times.. amazing.
i say pound for pound, a gymnast is the strongest. try working out on a pommell horse.. parallel bars?? still rings?? those guys are unreal..
strongest.. probably the strongest strongman.
toughest? who knows..
best endurance. probably a road cyclist
triathletes, good, but not great. they ride tempo.. not all out like in a cycle race. top tri guys run a 2:40 marathon. hard tempo compared to a regular marathoner at 2:09 or below
cycling you race for 5-6 hours, constantly going very hard to all out.
every pro, in their specific sport, in their own way is super strong and tough.
