No Reggie bush is not even in the top 100 greatest athlets of all time hes on an amazing team in COLLEGE not in the Nfl hes not on a so so team he has perfect blockers and perfect everything else look at guys like Vince Young or Jerome Harrison they are better Vince doesnt have perfect anything that Bush has hes just amazing but no great athlete or Jerome on the Cougs and had better stats than Bush but Reggie is from California thats why everyone knows who he is and thinks hes so amazing when hes not
But to stay on topic Lance Armstong is the greatest athlete of all time.
See, Pinball, don't get me wrong, I love Lance, and from where he came from, beating cancer n' all, it's one the more truly amazing storied in athletic competition.
However, my support for Bo Jackson tends to make me believe that it'd be easier for Bo to become a world class cyclist, than for Lance to be a great football player and/or baseball player.
I could be wrong, but just my opinion.
I think I have to go with Jordan on this. However, it really depends on how you're judging and thinking about it, I think in terms of just totally mastering a sport like he did, with his speed quickness and finesse i'd go with Jordan. However if you held a huge olympics type of think with "athletic" type of events, along with power things etc, much like a culmination of the olympics only adding in various sporting skills, who would you really pick...
Some people have mentioned Bo Jackson... wow he was amazing, think if he never got injured, his power and speed was just incredible, I've never seen anything like it... simply amazing.
In terms of total speed/power/quickness etc it might be Bo... I think if you matched up all the great athletes in like running events, power events, jumping events, cycling, boxing etc and many different sports, he could possibly come out on top. I don't think i could pick against him. There's no way i could pick against him... who has the total package like him?
Like vs Ali, sure Ali wins in boxing, but Bo kills him in every strength category, every speed/quickness category, I mean it's almost no contest.
vs Jordan, Jordan may win in jumping and basketball obviously, but Bo destroys him in every other event, like shotput etc, weight lifting, track....
In terms of being physically gifted NOONE and i mean noone beats Bo Jackson.
Sure some track guys may beat him in their running events, but what about the power? I'd take Bo over a lot of track guys in the 100 even.
It's really impossible to really pick an answer, just all depends on the criteria.
