Speaking of a category such as Armstrong and Phelps or any athletes in independent sports.....triathletes, runners, etc.....they display true athleticism. All their conditioning and training is focussed on human performance.

Then you got your Gretzkys, Lemieuxs, Jordans and Tiger Woods who are evaluated on how they played their respective games.

Funny that Pacquiao is just mentioned.....because in my opinion, when it comes to boxing, both human performance and strategy are part of his regiment....So yeah, Pacquiao would definitely be someone I can agree with off the top of my head.


But yeah...if you're talkng athlete as a performance perspective....I would say it has to be Phelps.....considering swimming is not an easy event to be good at. And to be THAT good is saying something.
