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

[aboutfkntime]

Two names you can't argue with on this list are Tiger and Roger...both had some of the craziest runs in their respective sports. Federer in particular because of the sheer amount of matches per year he's had at his age.

I think you made a real good point

some sports are much harder to dominate than others

e.g. boxing is a much more difficult sport than golf..... but I would suggest that golf could be much harder to dominate

Woods run was unbelievable, he was unstoppable..... other TOP golfers must have been like, wtf?

You can certainly argue against Tiger he was washed for years after his divorce, cheating scandal, and back surgeries. Just becuase he has been decent in a couple of tournaments this year doesn't gloss away the last five.

Good list except that Annika Sorensten and Jimmie Johnson have no business being ranked, especially that high.
If you're going to rank a driver, it should be an F1 driver Not that NASCAR crap. Golfers also have no business being on the list.

I think he is referring to that unbelievable run Woods had

nobody has come close to that in the history of golf

e.g. if Woods did not win, everyone was surprised..... which is utterly ridiculous in golf

Woods/Federer could be the best ever

such a difficult/impossible/meaningless list

He specifically said that names you can't argue against on this list. Tiger was either washed or m.i.a for 20% of the time the list is measuring. Federer also had some years in there where Nadal and Jokic were the dominant players in tennis, both should honestly be a lot lower.

THE LAST 20 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why the hell would Jordan be on this list?

Some people don't realize 20 years ago was 1998

HOLD ON !!

that dumb game golf, abso-fkn-lutely should be on the list

there are few individual sports more difficult

in car racing..... the car/mechanics have as much impact as the driver..... that is the problem with motorsport

personally, I do not even view car racing as a sport

same with equestrian

EVERYTIME you tell me how good a driver was..... I will state that he simply had better mechanics and a better car..... and the equestrian riders simply had a better horse

car racing/equestrian (and such) are in the 3rd category

* individual
* team
* individuals in a team-sport

let me see how fast that driver is without mechanics or a car

let me see how high that equestrian rider can jump on a little tricycle

but during the 80%, he likely became the best golfer EVER

same with Federer

not really arguing with you, just pointing out how silly that list is

Where's Michael Phelps???
