If that is your criteria, then I would argue that Esther Vergeer is the greatest athlete of all time. World Number 1 female wheelchair tennis player since 1999, unbeaten since 2001 with a 400+ winning streak, winner of several dozen Grand Slams and 5 Paraolympic gold medals, both in singles games and doubles. This is dominance.
