The correct answer, however, is Michael Phelps. I might forgive you if you answer Ian Thorpe, but I find his recent advertisement turn to be a blatant plea to the jury.
Terrell. He's a goof, the whole "Garcia is gay" thing shows he's a dick, yada yada. But his body is absurd. I look at him and think "...if I had that body, I think I'd live in the shadows and fight crime."
Jordan's body changed too much over time: really thin when he was young, thick now - when are we talking about? The swimmer - purely for the ladies. Unless the ID guys are right, we moved out of the seas for good a long, long time ago.
"...if I had that body, I think I'd live in the shadows and fight crime."
That's awesome.
I mean Jordan circa the early 90's, of course. Like, I'm guessing, here.
I didn't include Phelps because, amazing as his body is, I can't get over that weird stat: 6'4", 32" inseam. That's out of whack. (Thorpe, for an elite athlete, is kinda flabby.)
Oh - and Thorpe? Flabby? Hahaha. That must be why he wears the skinsuit... to tuck in his tummy, and lift his ass. It's really just a girdle, in sexy fabric, hm?
I love bike racing, but it's true those guys look ridiculous. I love the charicature of all legs and nothing else in triplets of belleville.
I remember hearing a story from Tyler Hamilton about emaciated climbers in bike racing. Hamilton used to ski race for colorado, and he must have been pretty damn fit when he did it. But his old ski coach visited him on the tour and didn't recognize him because he's 20 pounds lighter than he was in college. That's sick.
Get LA out of his gear, and into the shower - and only the Aussie men's swim team looks better. He's thin, sure, but he's as fit as it gets. Well proportioned, and dead sexy. Need I refer you to the July04 edition of Esquire?
I didn't know the old man of the mountain read this site. Young Dave Winfield?? Holy crow--according to paper records, Winfield broke into the league in 1973. I'd ask you to provide a picture, kim, if you hadn't chosen someone from before the advent of photography.
Who said Unfogged was a frat house?

Who said frat houses aren't gay?

Michael Klim. But I'm a little biased.
Phelps has always seemed a little disproportioned to me, too. And if 'best body' includes the head? Well.

Biased? You and Klim related?

Related? To Klim?
I hope not. That'll ruin the plan.
Posted by girl27 | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:12 AM
Yeah yeah. Compare Thorpe to Owens. I did say, "for an elite athlete."

David Boston.

This joker? Ok, but too big and round for me. I prefer the longer, more angular look.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:25 AM
Yeah, but he's 250 with Olympic track star speed.
Posted by apostropher | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:36 AM
Hey! He cheats!
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:45 AM
I was about to say - that's not speed, that Boston's on. Yeek!
Speaking of folks who aren't on speed... I'd like to nominate Lance. That guy's so ripped, he needs adhesive.
Posted by girl27 | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:54 AM
Lance?! Amazing as he is, Armstrong looks like he needs a hot meal.

Now that, my friends, is a chest.
My arms are like this, only more defined.

None of the above.

In what sense has this been troubling you, Ogged? Don't know which look you're shooting for?

#80. Now there was a man. Soooo depressing to see him on the Seahawks.

Terrell hands down. Before that I would have said Ben Johnson or something but then again he had some help.
Posted by Balasubramani | Link to this comment | 01-26-05 11:50 PM
Michael Klim for sure. He's got lovely tone without that horrible overemphasis that bodybuilders get.
But then, he's an Aussie, and I like my Aussie men... ;o)

Since this is one of my local sports bars, it may very well be a hot topic of conversation.

Then I expect you'll get back to us with an answer.
Posted by ogged | Link to this comment | 01-27-05 3:26 PM
well, i recognize two of those names. that's ok, best elite male athlete body ever would be a young dave winfield.

Winfield? He's no Burleigh Grimes
Posted by baa | Link to this comment | 01-27-05 4:12 PM
yer part right, there was no photography in baseball for much of winfield's career. google shows me nothing that does him justice.
and, please forgive this aged mind for misuse of the word "young". let's say, mid-career dave winfield.
