A-level athlete Saquan Barkley has 28-inch quads, trains boxing on the side

well yea because soccer players train for cardio whereas NFL players train for burst/power. Ronaldo can probably run 5 miles faster than Usain Bolt, doesn't mean anything though, lots of normies around who can run a fast mile but are terrible athletes, go look at any high school cross country team

You are devaluing cardio as a component of athleticism. It is just as important as speed or explosive strength. People with great cardio are just as athletic as people with great strength.

And any high level long distance runner or biker or swimmer would have better cardiovascular endurance than Ronaldo by a country mile.

I don't see your point.

That cardio is a key component of athleticism and NFL combined stats aren't the be all and end all of athleticism.

That's beside the point, unless a running back can run all over the Buckeyes, which is no one, hes not A level. CM Punk could put up 100yds against them though, hence A level

A certain Iowa RB may have something to say about that.

Saquan can have the same cardio as Ronaldo through training. Ronaldo will never run a 40 or have a vertical as high or long jump as far no matter how much he trained

That guy would never have the same cardio as Ronaldo. Wrong body type. Look at Bolt and Mo Farrah. Cardio guys are built differently. Way too much fast twitch muscle fibre

I don't think you get it tho. Ronaldo has world class football skills that's it. There's high school kids on every cross country team in the US who could run a faster 5k-10k than him but no high school kid has a faster 40, vertical, or long jump compared to saquan. Ronaldo is a great athlete with world class football skills. Saquan is a rare athletic freak

Since you are from the United States, you probably dont know anything about soccer.

Roben was 37-40 km/h fast (80. minute + ball)

We will never agree, but we agree on one thing: A level athletes would dominate mma.

MMA is small as fuck and the money is ... eh ... the whole ladder would change with more money.
