    Not sure about all time. In my lifetime it’s Bo Jackson and I don’t think there’s a close second.

    This is painful… what this incredible thorough bred has become is shocking and appalling… this man was the top athlete in the world and it has been a 40 year decline… from ****** dad, to neutered Kardashian, to Woman of the Year (which is insulting to women), to killing people… to a frail, self loathing creature that licks menses off public porta potties.

    Deion Sanders was really impressive too… I give it to Jackson because he was as fast as Sanders BUT was powerful…

    Didn't Deion play an MLB game and and NFL game on the same day? That's never been done before and will most likely never be done again. Sure, it was a stunt....but amazing nonetheless.

    Now he's the head coach of a P5 university.

    I wonder what this guy could have done with modern training, sports science and data. Same goes for other GOATs like Ruth.

    But I can't see Carl Lewis doing anything with a ball, now that changes if there are multiple balls.:eek:
