Re: Most dominating athlete ever?
[ QUOTE ]
IMO he was. as dominant as wilt was on offense, russell was even more dominant on defense. [/ QUOTE ] As much as I's like to stick up for a fellow Boston fan, this statement is just wrong. Russell was at best only an average offensive player, not in Wilt's league offensively I'm afraid.

Re: Most dominating athlete ever?
Ya know, I was think "duh" too, but then I realized that there isn't anyone else on earth who can say that about their 200 time. Though Frank Fredricks ran 19.66 against johnson I believe, which is 9.83*2, when the 100m record was 9.84.

[ QUOTE ] The thread is about most dominant, not most overrated. [/ QUOTE ] You must have misheard, no-one mentioned Lewis. [/ QUOTE ] Lewis isn't even rated, let alone overrated. Shows how pathetic Tyson is/was that he got owned so badly by him. Quick: What's Tyson's best victory? Could take a while since your choices are limited to: 1. A life and death struggle vs Razor Ruddick. 2. Michael Spinks laying down. 3. A 100 year old Larry Holmes.

I found some interesting links for you horse racing fans. Secretariat home page past performances Kentucky Derby Preakness Belmont [/ QUOTE ] Seriously, I think the more interesting debate is for #2 between Citation, MoW and Fager. No, I don't include Ruffian - at some point you have to have beat boys or someone outside of your generation, she did neither.

I'm not a big Tyson fan, just anti-Lewis. I was merely probing as to what you thought of Lennox. [/ QUOTE ] Well, Lewis is the 2nd or 3rd best HW fighter since Holmes (Holyfield is the other). But that's not saying much.

Re: Most dominating athlete ever?
[ QUOTE ]
Lemieux could be argued for hockey. Gretzky was a tiny little guy that could score and make plays. He also had two amazing wingers for most of his career. Lemieux was the full package, with scoring, playmaking abilities, as well as size and great leadership. I also believe he has more points per game than Gretzky, but his career was filled with injuries. [/ QUOTE ] Mario is #3. Despite his many weaknesses (skating ability being the most glaring) nobody saw the ice anyhwere nearly as well as Gretzky. By the time you get to the NHL level, you know where everyone else is on the ice, even though you cant see them. Wayne knew where everyone else was going to be 3 seconds later.
