Top 3 Favorite Athletes...

Clay Cassius (muhammed ali for those that prefer)
Antonoio Krastev
Danie Gerber

A-ROD!!

Pyrros Dimas
Usain Bolt
Someone else I can’t decide

Pyrros Dimas: Gold medal in weightlifting in the 1992, 1996, 2000 and bronze medal in the 2004 olympics. Just incredible

As mentioned before Lomu definitely deserves a spot

And they fuck up traffic nearly every day of the week. Do the cyclist club guys have fucking jobs?

I was driving on a Military Base yesterday, a Wednesday, and came across a pack of 30 or more.

Bo Jackson
Big Papi
Mike Singletary

Narrowly missing cut:

Dick Butkus. Would be top 3 but he played before I was born, I limited my list to those I’ve actually watched.

  1. Bo Jackson

  2. Lawrence Taylor

  3. Ronnie Lott

I have favorites in other sports, too, but that’s still my meta list.

Le’Ron Mcclain - He is the best fullback in the league today. He’s versatile, can block, run, and catch. Strong and fast, all around great athlete. He’s humble, and at 6’0 260lbs. the guy is one hell of a load to bring down. Man is a beast.

Karelin was a 3 time gold medalist and 9 time world champion, but in 13 years, not only was he undefeated, but DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE POINT scored against him.

It is hard to comprehend this level of dominance on an INTERNATIONAL level in sports that are practiced at such a high level in so many countries.

Karelin is first through last. Man was the manliest man to ever be man.

Wow. Nailed my top 3 picks as well. Just to be different, I’d replace Alexeyev with Brian Urlacher. The man can run like he weighs 100lbs, but still can hit like a train full of extra train parts.

Karelin is too awesome to leave out. By far my favorite athlete of all time, and just a great man as well. I found an awesome article from Sports Illustrated 1991, when he was dominating the entire world. It mentions how he wrestles not for his government, but for the people of Russia. A truly inspiring figure. http://stickgrappler.tripod.com/articles/sikarelin.html

Sugar Ray is just incredible. Beautiful balance, proprioception, wicked speed, a devestating power. He truly excelled at every qualification for an all-around athlete.

thanks.

though I respect the awesome abilities of the top tier of NFL players…the reason I do not include them in these type of lists, because:

  1. it is a team sport, and no matter how awesome you are your abilities are skewed either negatively or positively in a unquantifiable way with the guys who play around you. Emmit Smith comes to mind…great running back, but also had perhaps the best offensive line and fullback ever as well.

  2. sports that are practiced at high level in many countries on an international stage seem to have more weight than primarily single country sports, just IMHO.
