This is a good point, and one which should be noted.

I would however add one thing you don't mention, namely that there are different levels of both natural ability, and peak potential even when it comes to cardio.

I.e., the ceiling for BJ Penn's cardio, even if reached, might be lower than Sherk's is even on a mediocre day.
