Top 10 Greatest Athletes

[*Id*]

I don't know if anyone have said M. Schumacher, but since he is a F-1 pilot I don't know if he should be considered an athlete.

He's an athelete in every sense of the word. Not only is he the reigning F1 champion, but he's held his own in exhibition soccer matches against some of the best players in the game (you should really watch the Luis Figo XI vs World All Stars fundraiser from a couple of years ago). I also vaguely recall hearing that he excels at yet another sport but I can't remember which one.

michael johnson
meh, i'll put micheal jordan here just to fill numbers...


mohamed ali can kiss my ass

wow, not much love for michael johnson.


You do realise that his 200m and 400m would likely stand till the end of civilization???? Same goes for jonathan edwards. which is soooooo big that even if you had an extra jump on the triple jump, you'd only beat it marginally...

Yeah Michael Johnson and Carl Lewis are probably the greatest track athletes of the last 30 years. I had Carl Lewis on my list but Michael got squeezed out. He's definetly an honorable mention. I watched him run the 200 and the 400 in Atlanta in 96. The man has incredible speed. The speed he ran that 200 in is probably the fastest I've ever seen a person run. And I watch lots of sports.

I really hope you mean Jesse Owens. Big difference between the two.

Mark Spitz.

He got busted for using streoids. Like everyone thinks Barry Bonds has.

 

[Equinox]

He got busted for using streoids. Like everyone thinks Barry Bonds has.

What? When ?

He never tested positive for steroids.. You must be talking of Ben Johsnon..

 

[D.Rex]

Yeah Michael Johnson (the American sprinter) never tested positive for steriods. During his olympic days he was 100% clean. Ben Johnson (the Canadian sprinter) did test postive for steriods and has his world record 100 time scrapped from the books and lost his gold medal.

 

[Victor Von Doom]

10. Bo Jackson (I put him at 10- because he got injured and had to suffer some bad seasons)
9. Jim Thorpe (If you don't know who he is, look him up football star, track star, a true athlete)
8. Pele (phenomenal)
7. Lance Armstrong
6. Wayne Gretzky
5. Tiger Woods (No golfer has done what he's done at his age, and I doubt any ever will.)
4. Hank Aaron (He did everything that Babe Ruth did, and did it better)
3. Muhammad Ali (worlds quickest hands speed. Faster than bruce lee.)
2. Bruce Lee (I almost put him at # 1. He's talented and as competitive as Jordan)
1. Michael Jordan (No questions asked)

I almost put Jackie Joyner Kersey on the list.

My old list a bit revised.

All those black athletes look alike apparantly.

Michael Johnson is the greatest ever

ScottyBBadd just likes to make statements without even knowing the facts...

He said that last years US F1 Grand Prix was stopped because the drivers were too afraid of going fast... Hilarious

Mark Spitz.

thanks, he's awesome...

didn't ben johnson's drugged up hundred metre time only recently get beaten, or does it still stand as faster time (drugs or no drugs)?
