    Most people agree Phelps is the GOAT Olympian, and he’s still pretty underrated when we talk about greatest athletes of all time

    • @redwall1521
      @redwall1521 Месяц назад +29

      only dumb people who follow just one sport like basketball or gridiron football think he's underrated. Anyone who knows anything about swimming or anything about what Phelps did (i.e. swim 364 days a year) knows EXACTLY how much he is rated, correctly.

      I disagree about him being underrated. We just don’t talk about swimming at all. But when we do. His name is always mentioned. He’s synonymous with Olympic swimming. He’s the only swimmer most people can name. Trust me he’s not underrated. He just got voted #1 in the top 100 athletes in the last 15 years.

If you are including all sports where there is physical competition then cricketer Donald Bradman ( career from 1928-1948) would statistically be considered the greatest of all time . I would bet you all I have that if an american baseball player from yesteryear had a BA of around .610 and the next was Ty Cobb at .366 you’d never have an argument about the greatest sportsman of all time

    I think this may be an impossible question to answer. Bo Jackson was a pretty good athlete in his day

    Novak Djokovic not in the photo WTH? He is undeniably the GOAT of tennis. He topped Federer and Serena, they shouldn’t even be in the photo. Bro won 24 fuggin majors vs Federer only 20. Plus the tennis world knows there is a TON of circumstantial evidence that Serena used PEDs.

    4 gold and 2 silver in 2012 was disappointing for him, built different.

    Watch the us in women’s synchronized diving, they got gypped out of the gold. I don’t understand that sport at all. They where much better then china and got a lower score can you please talk about that
