thats what i dont like about this list..you could and should absolutely make a case for Gretzky. He has only played 2 seasons in the past 20 years, but Bonds hasnt been around in the last dozen years and Tiger has been awful for the last decade. If you make a 1988-2008 list then Bonds, Tiger and Gretzky should all be on the list. I'm sorry, if you havent been relevant for half of the years, you shouldnt be on here. Bonds would be #1 if it were dominance from 00-04, but how much clout do you have when you were dominant for 1/4 of the years its talking about? When i think 98-2018 (in no particular order) I think Brady(2000-present), Lebron(03-present), Phelps(00-present), Serena(02-present), Federer(03-present). Those 5, for me, are the ones i think about for the better part of 2 decades. 20 years of "dominance" is such a long stretch. should really be a decade by decade thing

[@isaacdisanto1020]

To be fair, the reason Bolt and Phelps are able to be claim GOAT status in their respective sports so definitively is because their sports are races and are entirely based on timed scores. You can simply look at their times and see that they are faster than the times of everyone in history, proving them to be the fastest (and therefore best). With Floyd, we can never know definitively whether or not he would beat, say, Muhammad Ali if they both fought in their primes, because unlike swimming and sprinting, you can't simply compare their times. Additionally, they were in different weight classes, so it's even harder to evaluate them based on their physical tools when they were fighting against different competition (we use the term "pound-for-pound", but even then, it's difficult to evaluate). Floyd completely and utterly dominated all of the competition he could have possibly been faced with throughout his career, and although we can always speculate about the legends of the past, Floyd had basically the closest thing to a perfect professional sports career that is humanly possible. In my personal opinion, it's hard to evaluate the dominance of any of these three against one another, simply because they each had such long stretches during which nobody could possibly beat them whatsoever. He went with Floyd because he continued to win after ascending from his prime and gracefully eased into retirement without ever losing, which Phelps and Bolt did not, which is valid. You can make a case for any of them though

sds606 Serena has been more dominant within women's tennis than Fed has been within men's tennis. Plus she has more slams, more Olympic golds, more French Open wins and has dominated both singles AND doubles tennis whereas Fed barely plays doubles. Not to mention Serena has won slams from 17 through her mid 30s whereas Fed didn't win his first slam until 21 (and Serena is about 2 months younger). I love both Serena and Fed but Serena has a better case for dominance.

[@sds606]

NYCzora Federer has had to deal with two other top 10 tennis players of all time in Novak and Nadal. There’s much more competition in the men’s side. Name me the all time great that Serena had to play against yet she only has 3 more slams than Federer

[@ericthomas4055]

sds606 you’re ignoring doubles. Serena has 3 gold medals and 16 doubles slams. Colin included that and that’s why helped her get in front of Roger. This is about dominance and not level of competition. If not For Serena Venus would have 14+ slams. Sharapova would probably have around 8+. Serena doesn’t have a top rival like Nadal or Novak because every time one with the potential to be great came along she usually quickly proved she was better.

[@flash012234]

Eric Thomas If not for Nadal, the second greatest player of all time, and undeniably the greatest on Clay (only lost a grand total of 2 times at the French Open in 13 years), Federer may have close to 30 slams, and that’s a conservative estimate. By the way, Federer has been at the top of grand slams that have a best of five instead of a best of three. Meaning that Men’s matches could last up to five and half hours, whereas Women’s matches are not even half of that amount. Clearly, the Men’s tour is far more demanding, and Federer has stayed at the top for the past 15 years.

[@thht3588]

Barry Bonds has five more Mvps than Sidney Crosby. He had no right to win the Con Smythe in 2016.

its a travesty that Nadal doesnt even make top 20

He never dominate like During a long period like Roger and Novak and that’s just facts you got just to check how many times each of these 3 players stay number 1 at ranking atp.

[@davy7mah748]

Yvans what's are you on about? Being number one doesn't warrant success in tennis, for years you could get to number 1 in the women's without winning a grand slam. Nasal still has more grand slams and masters than Djokovic and has been the most dominant clay player the world has ever seen.

I agree with this list but im switching out Barry for Shaq. Guy one NBA player of the week his first week of his rookie season. If he played today in his prime years even as unhealty as he was, you can place him on any playoff team and they would be the favorite to win the Finals.

This list is actually rly good up until 7. Brady has to be at least top 7. And y tf is Messi up there instead of Ronaldo. Ronaldo has dominated three diff leagues while Messi has stayed in a top heavy league

[@ricardoram3217]

Michael Bueti are you trying to penalize Messi for staying with one team his whole career? Ronaldo is probably 2nd greatest of all time. But Messi is the greatest

[@amrarif5951]

[@socceriseverything1321]

La liga best league? Wtf are you talking about, it may have the top 2 teams, but the rest of the league except atletico madrid, is very bad. Stick to basketball man, dont talk about a sport you dont know about. And by the way messi should be at least top 3.

[@tylerlufkin1537]

But in what top league in any sport does the league not have the BEST teams in it? I understand what your saying depth wise though. But man 7 out of the last 10 champions league winners have been Spanish teams. EPL has not been too relevant on what is the biggest club stage there is. Did you not just see Barcelona embarrass Man U

[@michaelbargh1203]

Pretty accurate but I’d say it’s insulting to football (soccer) fans everywhere to only have Messi 8th and Ronaldo not even in the top 10. Bonds over CR7 is a disgrace hahaha, how can you win 5 ballon D’ors and not be in the top 10 of all time??

[@patrickfoster_media5451]

Michael Bargh Fair point.

[@alex123443211998]

Soccer players are not athletes, they are not athletic like Bolt, Serena or Lebron. There is nothing athletic about Messi, maaaybe about CR but nothing to mention on this list. And this comes from a European.

[@owet4715]

Best list ive seen so far

[@joelates5334]

Yes, Floyd is probably #1

[@smokesmith5533]

Colin definitely got it more right than that other list

[@Jistsu77]

It's not even a question is Messi better than Pele. Pele is actually not even in top 20 players in football history, he was really good and he's a legend, but he's not even in the conversation of "GOAT".

[@Rucarlos]

I highly agree with Colin's list, at least until you get to the team sports players, Brady has more SB wins than any soccer player with Champions Leagues or basketball player with finals in the past 20 years, and Ronaldo should absolutely have a spot at 10.

[@tomsteffen1882]

It ist definitely easier to win the SB than the CL... and the patriots are the only consistently good team in the AFC east over the past 20 years so they come to the play offs every year.

[@dariusmaye]

Agree with you

[@samueljackson3920]

Doesn’t have more Chips thank Kobe, and winning a champions league is wayyyyyy harder

[@pcs54]

Also Messi and Ronaldo are 10 and 8 years younger and only have 1 championship less than brady, so theres a high chance they will catch up

[@alvaro4867]

Winnin a CL is way harder than winning the SB. Being consistent in team soccer is almost imposible at a European level. What Messi and Ronaldo have done is almost imposible, it is unheard of since the 50s and Di Stefano. We wont see anything like it for many many years.

[@JiggyJangles]

If steroids do not disqualify an athlete from this list (i.e. Barry Bonds), then Lance Armstrong surely cracks the top 10 with 7 Tour de France wins (1999 - 2005). A large amount of his competition were doping as well.

[@treyjones4020]

JiggyJangles Barry never tested positive

[@JiggyJangles]

True. But he testified to a federal grand jury that he did "unknowingly" take steroids given to him by Greg Anderson, his personal trainer.

Most if not all on this list are on steroids. Professional sports are filled with drug use

Henry Steinmann tennis is quite strict with drug testing, so i doubt serena or fed would do it (also based on their character). Tbh in general its not fair to throw athletes under the bus that way.

[@str8dominican]

Im with Colin on this one. Dominance isn’t about who’s a better player. It’s about how much you win compared to your peers.

[@yuppy5956]

are we talking US only or worldwide ? because that list looks way different worldwide

[@shusca2]

When he talked about Messi clearly someone wrote that for him. Americans don´t know soccer, why they talk about it. The best competion in Soccer is the UCL not La Liga. Also in La Liga he talks about Messi goal/game but CR7 has a better Goal/Game in La Liga. He could have pick Messi, that´s ok, but the arguments we used were so weak, because he don´t follow soccer.

[@shusca2]

This is not about who is better, but most dominant. Those are 2 different things. I watch Messi and CR7 whole career. That´s your opinion, i have my opinion. The arguments colin used, that someone wrote for him, are wack.

Yes he doesn't follow football evidently and probably didn't elaborate very well his argument But You didn't follow him either He said la liga is the best league in football that's true Epl is the most popular that's true He never used the word competition or tournament thus the ucl has nothing to do with this video
