That is all it took to know what kind of condition those guys must be in. All that said, almost all professional level athletes (legs) in today's sports are going to be very well conditioned for what they do.

I think the key word is team sport. I'd go one further on boxing and say Wrestling or MMA. Because the legs need to be all-around conditioned(for running a marathon AND lifting weights). Not only the typical push/pull. Legs need to be conditioned for power, quickness, endurance, and flexibility, as they're often used for holds.. However, yes, these sometimes are team sports, but let's be honest, they're individual sports in a team environment.. Same for gymnastics or track..
I'd say out of the "team sports", Hockey, mostly because of the skate factor.. I haven't met too many skaters in my life, who didn't have ridiculously strong legs...
