Comments Thread For: ESPN Names Mayweather 8th Most Dominant Athlete of Past 20 Years

[rojo45]

Ray Robinson was 90 -0 as amateur 60 ko with 40 in first round first 125 was 123-1 -2 and beat them in return. Mayweather hand pick his men he beat and this a water down area

Brady was put at 20. I think his recent loss at the superbowl is influencing their opinions. People seem to forget that Brady has taken the Patriots to the Superbowl 8 times and won 5 of them. People are focusing too much on the times he came up short.

If that's the case then Lebron shouldn't even be included on the list, at least Brady was competitive in every loss. Typical espn foolishness, no wonder their ratings are in the crapper annd they had to fire half of their staff.

Robinson had alot of cans on his resume and avoided the murderer's row.

Messi and Ronaldo not being top 10 is LOL material. They have been the undisputed best player on their respective teams which have won 7 of the last 10 Champions League titles between them, including 10 of the last 10 Balon D'or (equivalent MVP) with either one certain to win the 11th this season. In addition to which both have averaged more than a goal a game the last 10 years when you compare other great players score at around 0.60/70 on the high end. Both are undisputed in the top 5 ever I guess the only knock is they came at the same time but both should be #1 and 2 on the list.

can you include team-sports in a conversation regarding individual dominance?

Messi and Ronaldo both had a bunch of teammates to either help them when things went right, or to blame when things went wrong

not really arguing, just asking

also..... if you go back another 10 years, Floyd would be competing with Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Fedor Emelianenko, etc

this is just another silly, largely irrelevant, debate.... just like P4P

Mayweather can only be compared to boxers of his own era for the sake of this list and people like Serena Williams, Kobe Bryant and Michael Phelps.

[MrRolltide91]

No Kobe and Phelps???

[BM dnobagaV]

Phelps, Kobe, Messi, Ronaldo... tragic they are not on here.

What a crap list. Pacquiao & Mayweather should also be way higher.

[SAINTSTEVE]

At least there's no horses on the list.

[rrayvez]

LeBron James??? The guy has lost more finals series than mayweather has lost rounds.

[Fetta]

Cool that boxer is in the top 10
