| I should have mentioned Ali in my original post. We had a debate a while back and people tried to say that he wasn't the most popular world wide but he was back then. He faught all over the world and where ever he went he got huge media coverage.
Anyway, I think Tiger Woods is the only real athlete ( yes I know some will debate that he is one) of this time that would fit in with Gretzky, Ruth and others in that he is with out a shadow of a doubt the best there is in the sport, both past and present. Most others that are here now and making noise that they might be that good( In their sport ), are doing just that, making noise and there is a lot more than a thin line between being a great outstanding player and being bar none the best there is and was. ( Just as Bret Hart lol ) |
