Who's that wrestler at Iowa State (?) who just finished his career undefeated--- the first man or woman in any sport to do so at the NCAA level... 160 matches or so.
If you were talking about Pro Baseball that might wash, but even when Johnson got tagged you couldn't eat an actifed without testing positive. Johnson was obviously overbulked, a little like the Chinese womens swim team that got nailed.
Gretzky is the most dominant athlete of my time. Long list of reasons Long article about him But to sum it up, he owns the majority of records in his sport...by a long shot. He had more goals than anybody, but he also has more assists than anyone has goals and assists. All this, and he was not physically dominant. Gretzky at his prime was 6'0 and 155 pounds. He wasn't a particularly fast skater, he didn't have a particularly hard shot, but he was completely dominant. Jordan got more pub, but Gretzky was The Great One. Oh, and finally: Gretzky's 61 records
1. Gretzky 2. MJ 3. Wilt 4. Barry Bonds (hate him but noone will pitch to him) 5. LT - Totally dominated on defense, made OLB a glamour position
