Well MJ is at least in his realm I'll give you that. But Tiger still has as much talent in his toenail as MJ ever had.

[/ QUOTE ]

You didn't say talent, you said athlete. And if you think Tiger was a better athlete than MJ, you're crazy. Who could run a faster 40? Who'd jump higher? Who'd bench more? If you were to put those 2 in other sports, who do you think would be more likely to dominate more sports?

And if you're talking talent, you're still crazy! MJ was completely dominant in a way that has only been paralleled by a few individuals throughout sports history. Has Woods been unquestionably the most dominant golfer through his physical prime? Hell no!

nahh. Plus Tiger does work pertaining to mental conditioning too. The guy is just flat out the most dominant athlete in any sport ever. He has freaking won majors by 12 and 15 strokes! That's like a baseball team going 150-12 and sweeping the series. If anybody has any sports achievements this far out of the realm of what has happened in that sport I'm all ears.

Jason blake is a good tennis player, and is also a poker player. I heard that he once asked Daniel Negreanu for his autograph.

so maybe paul "The Truth" darden is also the jason blake of poker, which would then make tiger woods the jason blake of golf. The only problem with that analogy is that as far as I am aware Jason Blake doesn't play golf. Can anyone offer more insight into this?
