| This thread has gone on far too long without mentioning either Muhammed Ali or Pele. Or far that matter Carl Lewis, an athlete at the top of more than one discipline. But for future greats, In my chosen sport I would say Wayne Rooney will one day be comparable to all the greats in soccer, and just to keep you North Americans happy so could Freddy Adu. In boxing I really think Ricky Hatton will go on to unify the toughest weight division in the world right now and either him of Floyd Mayweather could in three years time (if they stay undefeated) be classified the best pound for pound ever. Im not sure on your North American sports of Skewed rugby and baserounders, but wouldnt Payton Manning be considered special if the Colts get all the way undefeated? |
