Who of these is the best athlete: Muhammed Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, or Michael Phelps?

Question

Everyone debates who is the best athlete ever to live, so of Muhammed Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, or Michael Phelps is the best athlete of all time?

Answer 1

first off all tiger woods falls dead last. golf takes no determonatuion no strenght or anything. the most out of shape rich fat people can play golf.   muhammed ali. boxing takes the most strenght power energy and endurance. i should i kno ive boxxed for 5 years.

Answer 2

depends on your judgement. if its raw physical ability which you're looking for, then its up for grabs between the four of them. as far as athleticism is concerned (at least under my own opinion) then physical ability, as well as coordination, stamina/endurance and mental ability, then judging is a little more cut dry.  

Michael Phelps and Tiger Woods are both extraordinary people with amazing dedication to their respective sports, but, lets face it, golf doesn't take a whole lot of stamina.

I'm new to the swimming scene, so my word can't be written in stone, but i don't believe that it takes too much mental ability. sure you're juggling tasks between catching breaths, looking around at where everyone is in relation to you, and timing your turns at the wall, but i believe that once you have the hang of these things its pretty easy to improve upon them.

michael jordan and muhammed ali, now here is a tough situation. basketball takes a lot of endurance, especially if you're in for most of the game. coordination will just about make or break you in this sport too. lets not forget reading your opponent as well, knowing where to go and how to go about doing it. boxing is no different. I guess between these it will just be a preference of sport. for about as accurate an answer as you could get, flip a coin.

ps- i do recall seeing an article similar to this in a magazine a while back. sorry i can't remember which.

Answer 3

I think jordan is, and dam rich u wrote like 4 paragraphs.

Answer 4

Well notice how every middle school in the country has a basketball team, and most elementary kids play basketball for local teams. Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world, meaning to play in the NBA would be a huge honor. Take into account all of the college athletes, and high school athletes, striving to be in the NBA, and compare it to those trying to be the best swimmers. Michael Phelps is unbelievable, there is no doubt about it, but there are many more striving to be the best basketball players in the world than the best swimmers. Basketball takes endurance, accuracy, strength, stamina, and so many other factors, and the way Jordan dominated the sport was unreal. Like Larry Bird said, he was "God disguised as Michael Jordan." In my opinion, the best athlete in order would be:

1. Michael Jordan

2. Muhammad Ali

3. Michael Phelps

4. Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods has dominated the sport of golf, but it takes nowhere near as much talent as swimming, boxing, and basketball.

Answer 5
