    I can only judge the athletes I have watched in my era and I can't say just one but how about the top 3 in no particular order

    1. MJ....IMO everyone else is playing for 2nd place
    2. Tiger........Greatest golfer IMO, he transformed a golfer to an elite athlete
    3. Tyson.....pound for pound the scariest MOFO I ever watched box, you have to have a little "crazy" in a good boxer and he had "crazy" in spades
