Most Dominant Athlete in Sports Today

[resistanze]

Federer is black ??? He must have had the same skin disorder as Jackson.

Right now its Federer, the guy doesn't loose. Tiger would be #2 because he does loose, finished second this last week.

Dominance throughout their career would be much tougher. The "Body of worth" argument could include Golf, but then it still would not be Tiger because he has not completed his career.

Didn't Tiger win this past week? That's the reason my local news sportscast began comparing the two...

Anyways like I said, I don't think the two can be directly compared based on a win/lose basis, since winning in tennis is completely different from winning in golf. Personally, I think winning consecutive tournaments in golf is harder than winning consecutive tournaments in tennis. I think it's just that what Tiger's doing seems so normal now after all these years.

Lance and Sampras would be very close in my mind, both were the very best at their sport for long periods of time, Lance sat on top for seven years. Sampress was only "dominate" from '93-'97 with ten grand slam wins in that four year span time.

The problem with Lance, if he is always at the top, just how good was his compe ion? The same can be said for Sampras.

In my mind ... All time, Lance ... Now, Federer

The All Blacks come from New Zeland and are today the most dominant team sport History has ever known...

As for Lance......
He is a ing junky just like all the Tour de France riders... wake up boys... this guy is a joke... you've got great champions in the US but don't come up with junkies like lance armstrong, Georges Hincapie, Tyler Hamilton or Floyd Landis... Riders doped from the first one to the last one

That is why they only won one world cup in 1987.

Dominance throughout their career would be much tougher.

Actually, I think it's pretty easy:



Didn't lose a race in 10 years.

i'm talking about the 2007 All Blacks... You can't do much better in sport nowadays...

as for your su ion towards PRO SPORT, i can tell you that Pro Curling players are 100% clean...

I was referring to the Professional Cycling Circuit.

My sons cycles on a Jr Development team and even as teenagers they are some of the best people you could ever be around. Amatuers are the heart and soul of the sport.

I agree.
I don't want to be too hard on cycling. At least they try to fight doping (not like most other pro sports).

[barbacoataco]

How can people complain about cycling and doping when the NFL is full of dopers and everyone knows it. My personal opinion is that athletes in all sports are using HGH and other synthetic enhancers.

anyway, who cares about NFL outside North America?

[spursjustice]

Federer gets my vote... he's so good it annoys me... and he doesn't even have a coach... the guy is a genius on a tennis court...

[E20]

E20, I'll see anybody, anywhere, any sport, any time, and I'll walk away with a W.

With all due respect, I think the 2007 All Blacks are still beatable... their win over Italy (though it was a blowout) wasn't as convincing... the 2007 All Blacks don't have the aura like Dream Team 1... with that said.. they are still a good team, just not the most dominant...

Why are we wasting time with this rugby team? It says a-t-h-l-e-t-e, as in singular, as in one person. I'd take Tiger since Federer is owned by Nadal on clay. Can't go wrong with either one though.

[Switchman]

Roger.

I REFUSE to name any golfer an athlete. /flame suit

[kskonn]

two things I have an opionion on.

1) if you compare sampras and Fed at this point in their career, when they were both 26 they are almost identical. Grand slams are the same matches won are very close and tournaments won they are seperated by only one tournament. However Rogers run at #1 has been amazing and never seen before, his nine straight finals appearances in Majors has been unreal. I think the difference between Fed and Pete was that Pete forced players to play below what they were capable thus appearing less dominant. Federer has the ability to impose his will. He does not care what the other guy does he just plays his game and wins, see Rod vs Federer US Open 07. he took his best shot and one.

2) I think it is hard to compare Tiger to Roger. In tennis you can physically effect the other player. In golf you have no control over the other players performance physically, but tiger is great at making people mentally crater by proving he can play Mistake free golf when he has a lead. Thus forcing other players to take risks they would normally not take.

Still as a Tennis fan my vote goes to Federer, his play the last 3-4 years has been unbelievable and unprecidented.

Tim duncan would get my vote of Most dominant player in the four major team sports.

[Deimosfobos]

Federer... ez

I love sampras and i consider him one of the best in history... but Federer it's just unreal. Nadal, an incredibly good player, would be number 1 on any era, but he was unlucky enough to live on the Federer era.

Tiger is also by far the best golfer that ever lived, no dout, and he's still too young... tho, as many here, its hard for me to give golf the same level of importance i would give tennis or any "real" sport. You can play golf and be great with a beer belly... Nalvandian is a great tennis player, who is considered "fat" by tennis standars, but he probably has less body fat than 99.9% of current pro golf players.

[T Park]

You can play golf and be great with a beer belly.

Not true anymore.

[Deimosfobos]

Not true anymore.

Guess im watching another sport called golf... since the one Tiger plays, i see many "beer bellys", not necesary fat, but not even close to the fisical condition pro tennis players have.

[romain.star]

Golf is a good thing for my grandpa

[TheAuthority]

Golf isn't a ing sport and they sure as aren't athletes. ROFL That's hilarious.

I agree that the top golf player look more athletic today.
but it still is one of the few sports where you can carry some extra pounds and still be top 3 of the world, like Mickelson and Els prove.

[Testing]

yes, i definitely don't consider golf to be a sport. You try playing basketball for 48 minutes, or football with players pounding you, or tennis in a 2.5 hour match where you are constantly moving and exerting physical strength every minute and then tell me that golf demands a high level of athleticism.
