Is Mike Tyson a good athlete?
he got no olympic medal nor world record (he did bitten off someone' ear though)

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world end of story.

Hah, yeah, first off, Randy Moss would probably suck at FOOTBALL (soccer..) since he's hasnt trained the right muscle-groups to be successful. And to the atlethic part of the question, sure, Randy Moss and LeBron James have amazingly atlethic bodies but so does, for example, Micah Richards in Manchester City and Didier Drogba in Chelsea aswell. To the bullshit about USA having the best athlets, sure, maybe, but that depends on how you determine athletcisimsmims(spelling is the shit), if you talk about endurance alot of African countries, aswell as Scandinavian countries beat USA by a large margin. USA sucks ass in flat-skiing, whatever, dont know what its called in English, aswell as long distance running, which are the biggest endurance-sports in the world, but sure, you can jump high and run fast, but that doesnt prove that you have the most atlethic people in the world just that Basket/American Football and sprint distance running is big in the US, nothing more, nothing less.

Blah blah ^

His ability impresses but that comes with practice.

but raw athleticism is nothing like what we have.

Im sorry.. my opinion stands till someone give's me some real proof.

Well, you can only prove it if you get a hold of the clubs test-results, which won't happen. Micah Richards has recorded extremly low body fat % though, definitly under 5%, probably closer to 2-3%, I doubt that LeBron/Randy Moss is under that. Maybe they are in a smiliar range, atleast Randy Moss. But this just proves that atletes in Europe is just as well-trained as in America, without the steroids. You just think football/basketball is more amazing then soccer/skiing/long distance running, so you say that they are better trained, which isnt correct.

AoA's first post proved you wrong weezy, you are the one that needs to provide proof to refute that post.
