I am asking on all levels/attributes though. For example a marathon runner would certainly be the best for endurance but wouldn't need to have any upper body strength. thoughts? opinions?

I have seen before studies that show basketball players and tennis players require the most complete fitness because of the combination of sprinting, needing both upper and lower body strength, and endurance to play a whole game or match.

Bicyclists. How many other athletes do you know of that participate in events that go on for days and weeks without stopping? The 2005 Tour de France covered 3607 kilometers over 21 days with only TWO rest days!
