No. Soccer requires the most conditioning which shouldn't be confused with athleticism. MMA fighters and gymnasts are the most athletic people. If you're going by popular sport (NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS) then I'd have to say it's football. Catching, throwing, straight line speed, running moves, tackling, strength. So I'd say the ideal football players (good at every position) is more athletic than a soccer player who's good at every position. The soccer player is probably faster, and can probably run longer, but is not more athletic.

It depends really. you can truly go by most athletic sports. because each sport has there top athletes. Football players would never be able to last 15 minutes in a soccer game. Yet football players do have more power in there bodies. I honestly believe if you are talking about overall most athletic I would agree with gymnasts being the strongest..just because what they do is ridiculous and takes a lot of strength. But by going by most popular sports UEFA, La Liga, NBA, UFC, MLB, NFL, I would have to say soccer. because not only do they need to be fast with endurance but they need strength and powerful bodies.
