Which sport do you think claims the fittest athletes?

Generally i have an interest in most sports, i find the fitness within different sports quite interesting.

Is a sprinter for example fit? I mean they never go over 200m when training.. yet they are in phenomenal shape.. I would argue they are very fit.

Rowers would appear very fit wouldn't they? They can keep going and going and going... yet get them to do a sprint and they struggle...

I've recently taken up an interest in MMA, mixed martial arts. The fitness levels of these athletes it quite frankly ridiculous!! I mean they can sprint, have phenomenal power in each of their kicks or punches, they can go for 5 rounds of 5 mins. Have you ever seen the videos of Sean Sherk training, or Brock Lesnar training. The guy is 260 lbs and yet can move like a cat!

Sooo which sport do you think has the fittest players/ competitors? Boxers, MMA fighters, rugby players, rowers, footballers, golfers?

Ill tell you what i think, let me know what you think....
