At five-foot-11 and a hair over 200 pounds, Italian boxer Clemente Russo is huge, hulking, and ready to take a punch, although we can’t imagine someone messing with his face.

Some may call Jordan Burroughs cocky, but we think this hunky wrestler deserves to be a little confident. He’s won every tournament he’s entered since 2009 including an NCAA championship and world championship in the same year. He knows he’s great, as he tells the world in his tweet below.

We saw an all-grown-up Zac Efron in ‘The Lucky One’ and now he’s taking the next step in his mature career — sexy photo-shoots. We can’t say we’re unhappy with this new development.

We have a new Hunk of the Day for you — one you probably hadn’t heard of until the Curiosity rover landing. Bobak Ferdowsi works for NASA but he isn’t the typical dweeby scientist.

If anything shows the decline of the popularity of the decathlon, it’s the fact that Bruce Jenner is now more famous for his reality television show appearances and overdone plastic surgery than his Olympic win in 1976. But we think Ashton Eaton is the one who will bring the sport back to its rightful spotlight. He’s the perfect mix of accomplished athlete and absolute hottie.

Troy Dumais was all smiles on the podium when he and synchronized diving partner Kristian Ipsen won bronze in the three meter springboard event in London. Dumais has been waiting a long time for this medal, and so winning was especially sweet.

US Olympic swimmer Nathan Adrian may often be overshadowed by his superstar teammates Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, but we expect to hear a lot more from this hottie in the future.

These gymnasts may not be tall, but boy are they ripped. Sam Mikulak is another cutie on the US Olympic team, competing in the London Games.

Tony Azevedo is currently the captain of a very hunky team — the United States men’s 2012 water polo team. And while he’s leading his handsome teammates in the London games, he’s also the leading man in our hearts.

No one thought that the chubby asthmatic toddler back in Cuba would ever turn into an athlete. Luckily, Danell Leyva developed into one sexy gymnast. At 20 years old the Cuban-American is competing in the London Olympic Games for the US and specializes in the parallel bars and horizontal bar events.

Meet Britain’s newest teen heartthrob, Tom Daley. At only 18 years old, he’s competing in the London Olympic Games for Great Britain as a diver.

Yes, we have another swimming Hunk of the Day but it’s not the well known Michael Phelps or Ryan Lochte, or even the hunky Cullen Jones. Anthony Ervin is our new favorite swimmer in the Olympic race to steal our hearts.
