I am a big fan of CrossFitters. Mat Fraser has this insane drive to succeed, but he seems to be very down to earth. Rich Froning is also pretty driven. He won every CrossFit Games (singles division) he was a part of until he decided to compete in the team divison. His team lost one year and they crushed the competition the following year.
He retired this year. Definitely a HOFmer when his time comes, one of the most exciting players to watch in this era
1. Niki Lauda. Dedicated, focused, smart, Raced F1 a month after burning his face and lungs with jet fuel. 2. Royce Gracie. UFC pioneer who fought with his skill instead of his fists. 3. Anderson Silva. One of few, great UFC champions who isn't a meth-head loudmouth.
