Sherdog A-Level athlete = big guy that can run for short intervals and is perhaps still able to jump.
A level athlete right there. Top of the food chain.
When people say A level athlete they mean big black dudes, and unless the UFC heavy weight roster is comprised of 90% african american fighters, people will always claim that the UFC only contains part time B and C level athletes. That of course would be destroyed by any NBA or NFL player that trained martial arts for 3 days.
It's like people refuse to believe that a white dude can beat up a black dude. Really strange.
I 'm not sure TS understands what athleticism is.
The reason NFL players get so much praise from people who post here is because a lot of people who post here use to play American football in high school and or college.Big Man who run kinda fast for 10 second then gass are not A lvl.i dont know where this myth came from.
Gymnast, olympic wrestler, real football,rugby,basket ball,boxing are the Real top Of the top.
Tennis player are better athletes than NFL players.
American football suck
oh jesus.... can we organize all of the who is and isn't, but mostly isn't "A-level" athletes according to some fucktard on sherdog in one massive anthology thread of shame and redundant stupidity?
This is incorrect. Idk about christiano ronaldo, but I can easily name faster soccer players than Bo...Stop it. A double arm amputee could theoretically become the best soccer player in the world. There's almost no other sport in which that could happen. Bo Jackson in his prime outweighed Ronaldo by 60lbs and runs way faster, jumps way higher, has better hand-eye coordination, and has great cardio himself. I don't even know for a fact that Ronaldo has great cardio, because he never runs back on defense. He just explodes in short bursts, but is nowhere near as good at that as an NFL player.
I remember when someone posted here a short twitter vid of Conor bouncing a international football on his leg, and all the american sherdoggers were in awe... I was shocked how much of a bubble the US citizens live in in relation to the rest of the planet. Kids can bounce the balls for several minutes straight.. and I'm not even talking about kids who are good enough to make it to an average elementary school football team...

tell you what, I'm not even gonna speculate, let's look at actual set recorded facts:-
-Bo Jackson's speed for 40 yard dash which he was so proud of on ESPN interviews was 4.13. It was actually a few mili seconds slower than that according to him, but this isn't track n field, and I'll just use this number cause it was the officially published.
40 yards= 36.576 meters
Velocity= Space/Time= 36.576/4.13= 8.85617433414 m/s
-Gareth Bale, from Wales that wings for Madrid, Not the most famous nor the best nor even the fastest soccer player(via eye test), but I'm using him as an example here cause he has a 100 meter officially recorded dash as well. He did it in 10.4 seconds.
Now lets do the math:
100/10.4= 9.61538461538 m/s
That is a huge difference when comparing human to human speed...
Conclusion, you are wrong via science.
You can look up and calculate, Hector Bellerin, Theo Walcott, and Luton Shelton's dash records. They all should be easily faster, and I'll assume you can do 8th grade physics after reading this post(just copy what I did).
Exactly. I reminiscence this, whenever some washed up NFL dude fights and then we always have to go through weeks of shitty A-level athlete threads.My athletes are better than yours at doing an arbitrary and very specific kind of exercices!
I still can't help but to remember when the coachs challenge in TUF was centered around gridiron football and JDS still beat Lesnar.
That's because these guys are mentally limited. Honestly I could not come up with a better explanation over the years. They probably even think Patriots could beat Real Madrid in a soccer match. Hard to argue with this kind of "knowledge".He's the world's number 1 athlete in the world's number 1 sport. NFL isn't even number 2. It's a 1 country sport. Don't you find it odd that you have somehow got the best athletes in the world localised entirely in 1 country playing a sport only 1 country cares about?

Jesus, you just exposed thse people hard, GARETH BALE ISNT EVEN CLASSED AS SOME AMAZING athlete! And he beat out Bo 'The A level' jacksons numbers? Exposed.
THis is why americans should stop comparing their closed circuit system to the rest of the world.
Im telling you, gareth bale is a really skilled player, athletic for sure, but americans throw that Bo jacksons name around like hes the god of athletics, so a dude like gareth bale shouldnt be outrunning him...
I love how people in France and whatnot have misconceptions that cardio is the biggest determining factor of athletcism. That is hilarious. If Punk could fight for 25 minutes, he is an athlete now?
The United States has the population of roughly half of your contintent. Your countries are our states. We are a melting pool of all the top genetics and races. In order to get into the NFL, the odds are astronomically low.
Just because the NFL has fat linemen which is required for that position, does not mean they are not athletes, and it certainly does not mean other positions - such as running backs, receivers, defensive ends, etc. are not athletes.
Tyron Woodley is probably the best athlete in the UFC right? LOL... look at him next to an A-level athlete
Imagine a random running back like David Johnson with the equivalent training Tyron Woodley has.
The fact is that top athletes DO NOT go into MMA. They go into the NFL and Basketball. $$$ Other types of athletes like Ballerina and Soccer (same shit) go into their respective sports.

You have no idea what you're talking about. This is so hilariously wrong that it literally made me laugh out loud. Comparing a 40 yard dash time and trying to substitute it for a 100m time never works, because they a 40 yard dash only allows the athlete to hit top speed for less than a second.
https://web.stanford.edu/~clint/100m_nfl.htm
Bo Jackson has an official 100m time of 10.44 seconds, which is virtually the same as Bale's, except he outweighs Bale by 70lbs of pure muscle.
Bo Jackson got beat by Bale, and Bale is not some record setter, you know that right? Gareth bale is not some mind blower, hes just some footballer rofl. Literally just 1 footballer picked vs the p4p best athlete in that sport.. and Bo still lost. Theres probably endless guys in Soccer that would outrun Bo jackson.
That must make you pretty triggered to know your 'best' got beat by someone not even remotely classed as that in football.
Bale is renowned for his speed amongst soccer players lol, he's certainly faster than Ronaldo.Bo Jackson got beat by Bale, and Bale is not some record setter, you know that right?

whatTyron Woodley is probably the best athlete in the UFC right?
