You asked for athletes, but not a specific amount, it is so tough to compare Athlete A from 1930 to Athlete B in the late 40's ( being that most went to war ) and so on.

Of course, your choice, a horse is a horse of course of course.... :facepalm: except the Jocks are stronger.

1) Michael Jordan

2) Babe Ruth

3) Cassius Clay

4) Secretariat

5) Richard Petty, (Did it with out power steering, I don't want to ever hear about JJ in this discussion)

6) Wayne Gretzky (Maybe # 5)

7) Eldrick Woods

8) Garo Yepremian

9) Art Schlichter

What is great about doing these lists is that you see what you, (I) or others have forgetten to put on their list.

I neglected to put The Dragon on my list ! DUH ! Bruce Lee, and I think from TF's list 1, 4, 5 might knock Rusty down a few spots ? :shrug:

Well...some definitions include the word "person" and some do not.


However if you limit the definition to humans, I like your list.

I should have said that "I" don't consider horses athletes. I know many do. So I guess it's subjective. Secretariat was the real deal though, no denying that.
