Charlie Ward isn't very big.

The criteria is most athletic big guy. People are naming lots of guys who, while very athletic, aren't even bigger than I am.

And nobody says Shaq or Wilt?????

I never saw Wilt in person, but Shaq is insanely athletics for 7'1" and 340lbs. His footwork is (was) amazing.

Back in the day there was nobody like Wilt though. People just didn't come that big and that agile.

no 40s are legit.

btw, i think this topic is dumb, since the only athlete big enough to qualify are basketball and football players. i defineitely think people like mike tyson, kevin randleman, and throwers in track and field should be in here. not to mention SHW weightlifters. people seem to forget how freakishly athletic top track and field atletes are, regardless of event. they make football and basketball players look like amateurs.

I wouldnt name any NFL guys their cardio is usually shit compared to basketball, rugby or most fighting sports.

Surprised nobody put up Mohammed Ali, his speed was amazing for his size/weight.

Lebron is a good call, so is Jonah Lomu.
