    Seems like they see right through the smoky glitz and glamour of Floyd's lifestyle and take only his boxing resume into account.

    Conor McGregor being there but not Fedor, Silva, GSP hell even Jon Jones kind of invalidates this list.

    I see 3 racecar drivers in the Top 15. Are they even athletes?

    I honestly don't know much about the other athletes but having Mcgregor as the MMA rep is pretty egregious. He's like what people would accuse Mayweather of in terms of just being the financially successful guy. I get why they chose him because everyone knows him, but in terms of actual resume and career accomplishments it's akin to having Tyson Fury over Pacquiao and Mayweather as the boxing rep if you could picture him being more famous than either of them.

    Its a bit like comparing Barcelona with Ac Milan. The legacy of one far outweighs the other. Can you guess which?

    Many f1 stars take part in marathons, iron man competitions etc. They need to be fit, strong and be very vigilant with their weight. Especially for bikes and f1

    True, it's not in any way like darts or something simular. They definitely are athletes.

    Hell yeah they are, in case of stock cars they’re wrestling a 3500 pound beast for three hours at temperatures above 130 in the cockpit, Alex Bowman said last week he lost 15 pounds during a recent race
