Default Greatest athlete of all-time
Posted By: Peter_Spaeth

Saying "Jackson was a running back" in a discussion of great athletes is like saying "Eisenhower was a general" in a discussion of great military figures. EDITED TO ADD: Somehow deleted my prior comment that Louis was way past his prime when he lost to Marciano, judging the two men by that fight is no more valid than saying Holmes beat Ali so must have been better.
