Venerable US publication 'Sports Illustrated' have released their list of the top 50 fittest athletes in sport. Sports stars were assessed on the basis of four criteria: strength, speed, endurance and agility.
Ten points were awarded for each category and the more mathematically aware of you will have worked out that 40 points represented the maximum.
With Rob Kearney scandalously overlooked, the list was dominated by American sportspeople.
Usain Bolt presumably fell down on endurance and only came in 3rd. The runner-up Cristiano Ronaldo received full marks in the speed, endurance and agility categories but fell down on strength.
LeBron came out on top, amassing a flawless total of 40 points. They have officially adjudged there is barely a chink in this man's armour.
Here is the top 10
1. Lebron James (40)
2. Cristiano Ronaldo (38.5)
3. Usain Bolt (36.5)
4. Floyd Mayweather (36)
5. Dez Bryant (35)
6. Calvin Johnson (34.5)
7. Serge Ibaka (34)
8. Adrian Peterson (33.5)
9. Jon Jones (33)
10. Michael Phelps (33)
