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.
