hogh20 Member Since: 10/2/10 Posts: 172	Root12 - Forgot about Slater... him and Karelin should be 1 & 2 I agree, Karelen number 1. 13 years without a loss. That loss was for the Gold and went to OT. Amazing feat. In fact, if I remember correctly, he didn't even have a point scored on him for those 13 years? You have ignored this user.

Metafour 8 Member Since: 12/25/12 Posts: 67	HULC - Silva isn't even the best MMA fighter, let alone the greatest athlete. I don't think Ali is the greatest boxer either. It's a very strange list. I agree about the Ali comment. They should have used Sugar Ray Robinson to represent boxing. You have ignored this user.

RobinVanRooney -
Andersons_Chin - If he is the only fighter mentioned in an intra-sport GOAT discussion, is it safe to say hes MMA's GOAT?

Well isn't that obvious lol ?

He's the greatest by a country mile.

It only means casual fans who barely watch MMA will only know Anderson Silva. Truth be told under that criteria they should've have chosen GSP. He has name is more popular.

The actual GOAT of MMA is Fedor. But he doesn't have the recognition amongst people who don't watch MMA. Phone Post

TheArmenianGuy Member Since: 2/4/13 Posts: 101	What they should have done was had a poll for each sport and let the real fans have chosen the goat in each individual poll. Then they should have brought all the winners into one poll and let the open public decide. You have ignored this user.

Robinson is an absolutely terrible baseball pick. What the hell were they thinking?

Mays is better, but Ruth would have been better still. 5 years as one the best pitchers in baseball (he led the league in ERA, Shutouts, Games Started, and did not allow a single HR in 1916), then he hits 4 more Home Runs in a single season than any other TEAM'S combined total. Who's done anything like that?

All while spending every single night smoking cigars, drinking bathtub gin, and whoring until dawn. Couldn't have abused his natural gifts more if he tried, and still was that good.

I think solo sports wins mean more because there is nobody else to pick up the slack. Especially something so physical like wrestling. Also, in these sports the medium changes all the time. Each wrestling opponent is different and the ocean changes all the time. I still would vote for Slater but I wouldnt argue against Karelin too much. Both have amazing accomplishments. Phone Post

Vincanni 3 Member Since: 7/24/07 Posts: 577	Dos Huevos Gigante - I voted for Bo, because Jim Thorpe wasn't on there. Hard to judge athletes of yester year to modern day athletes, but Jim Thorpe is easily my top pick of any athlete before my time. This list is terrible. You have ignored this user.

Outlaw'd by Lytle Member Since: 2/14/11 Posts: 6761	xNate - OftheWay - I voted for him although he has no realistic chances of winning it all. He should beat Phelps though. We need to get Brazil in on this. Like, all of it. They'll vote for Pele, he's a God to them. I voted Silva. You have ignored this user.
