beckham looks incredibly skinny because he has to be to succeed in his sport. i would love to see reggie bush (a fairly slim, tho very well built, nfl player) try to jog, sprint, cut, kick up and down the wing of a football field for 45 mins, get a 10-15 min break, then do it again. and perhaps another 30 mins if it goes into extra time. its too difficult to carry the extra upper body weight.

@ThatsMyJewBagel i would like to see Christiano Ronaldo play any sport other than soccer or football against a guy like Calvin Johnson... he's 6'5" 236 lbs, runs a 4.3 40 yard dash... i guarantee he wins in every catagory, even quickness, you have no idea how athletic NFL players are. i like soccer too, but its just not near as superior athletically than football

Funny to watch a dressed up football player with a british accent :)

here goes the arguments again. both are very athletic sports, requiring players to be very athletic...just in different ways!

@CREGLAS

i agree that Nfl players may be stronger, faster, and more agile but they arent havnt to do it for up to 2 hours non stop with one 15 minute break. Also they can train for one specific role whereas a footballer or rugby player has to play lots of different roles.

i actually quite like american football. both such great sports!

@CREGLAS Your own logic can be used against you. I've seen football players train. And I myself play soccer at a high level. I guarantee my fitness is better than 90% of them. While I probably am not stronger because being able to run like 6 or so miles a game would be near impossible weighing 200+ pounds. As for quicker, that really just isn't true. I know players that are soccer players first and football players second yet they run a 40 in about 4.3..Cristiano Ronaldo runs a 40 in 4.26.

@ThatsMyJewBagel You will never understand what im talking about until you actually get up near them and watch them move around, almost every single player is faster than these soccer players. easily quicker as well. tougher, stronger, and better athletes overall...

@CREGLAS just because you have 2% body fat...does not mean you are in good shape. Body builders have less than that but I guarantee that most of them aren't athletic at all. Soccer players and NFL players are built for different purposes. NFL players work in bursts, soccer players train to be able to run 7-10 miles a game. Neither are better athletes by any definition.
