is at theirs...

This guy is as close to perfection that I have ever seen in an athlete.

Tiger Woods had a run a few years back that was close..

If he weren't on roids, would you say the same for Bonds? I would - but the steroids ruins everything.

Also, I think Lance Armstrong would be placed above Federer for doing it for years and years and years ... (PS: He hasn't lost his TDF title yet, remember ... so he's still "active" in a way)

i'm talking right now... armstrong wins 1 bike race a year . federer does it all year long..

if bonds had done it the past 5 years without roids , he would be up there..

May have to agree....but easier to be better at an individual sport than a team sport for RATING purposes.

This is a very good point, the great individual sport athlets rarely are looked at the same as say the top 15 baseball players or football players

Look at Phillis Mickelson he was considered a loser because he couldn't win a majorand he was like #2 in the world....

Barry Bonds would be considered the biggest chump if he played an individual sport , oh wait...

that's right! and if you're correct about another guy coming close, that should make for better odds towards kobayashi.

One guy did 50 dogs in an event in Vegas this year. Let's see if he can bring his A game to Coney Island.
