Most dominating athlete ever?

[brassnuts]

I'd have to say Ricky Carmichael. I know motocross isn't an entirely mainstream sport, but in terms of pure domination of a sport, I think he is untouched. Personally, I'm not even a great big fan of motocross, but I have a friend who is really into it and we just to the first event for this season (quite an exhibition in while trash I must say but it did have its share of hot women as well). Once again, Carmichael won both of the 2 motos by about a 45 second margin each. They only race for 1/2 hour + 2 laps each moto, so nobody is really in the same class as he is. Add in the fact that I think he has been Champion since 1997, first in the 125cc class and moving up to 250cc, during which in this stetch, he has had multiple perfect seasons, where he wins every moto of every event. I just find this kind of domination extremely impressive, regardless of the sport.

You guys should probably PM Mat Sklansky or something since it looks like part of the BBS code is broken. I mean, you'd think when you said "/end" the thread would end, eh?

I disagree, if the question were most dominating basketball player ever, or most dominating of the Big 4 US sports, then Jordan would be a pretty good answer.

As for the question at hand, this man flat out embarasses the competition:


He's take the sport by storm and usually beats 2nd place by at least 20 dogs, sets a new record every year, etc.

As soon as I read the topic, Kobayashi immediately came to mind. Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth, etc. all suffered losses, even some pretty bad losses. It will be years before Kobayashi ever finishes second place in a competition. He doesn't just win, he dominates. One of the most impressive things he has done was DOUBLED the world record of most hot dogs eaten. I can't comprehend how hard it is to break a world record like this by one hot dog, so the thought of him DOUBLING the world record is just unimageinable. Kobayashi dominates, and most of the responses to this thread are just horrible in comparison.

In 2001, his first year in the competition, Kobayashi ate 50 hot dogs in 12 minutes, shattering the existing record of 25 hot dogs set the previous year by his countryman Kazutoyo Arai.
