What athlete do you think dominated their respective sport more than anyone else in any sport? I know it’s very hard to compare a specially across different sports, but I’m certainly curious to see how this poll comes out. To be clear, many of the options I listed I believe are some of the best in there sport ever, but that’s not the question. Who you think is the most influential and dominant throughout history is what I’m looking for here. Please vote and comment, especially if you vote other I’d love to see who you guys think. Thank you all for your participation.

I suppose the sport with the most dominant athlete turned so boring during the athlete's active time that nobody knows about it 😂

@Primer I like the unique picks 👍
