I purposely left off many olympic sports like the Decathlon and Triathlon and many other. Out of the list above who are the best athletes.

I'd have to say a basketball player. They need to have mad endurance and even the biggest guys can still sprint, handle the ball and all have insane verticals. I thought of football but these guys play 16 total games, maybe 50 plays a week in short 5 second intervals.

football.

the ultimate combination of size, speed and conditioning.

i'd put rugby second, just due to the fact it isn't as physical a game. (this is not debatable)

Horseracing in a landslide if you consider the horse the athlete...if you consider the jockey the athlete...not so much.
