Wayne Gretzky had a 10 or so year period where he dominated unlike anyone else in the game.
But my vote is Tiger. Tiger Woods changed the tour. It used to be a bunch on white frat boys who would drink all the time. Now they all work out, have trainers and chefs. He changed the money as well. The 150th guy on tour this year will probably break $1m in earnings. Before Tiger it was less than $100k. And it's not inflation. It was the Tiger effect. |

His American ingenuity and drive led him to master the European game so dominantly that they had to ban him and strip his titles. |

Wayne Gretzky. Anyone else maybe dominated their sport at the moment they were competing, but Gretzky was by far the greatest of all time in his sport.

Wilt Chamberlain and Michael Phelps are the two that stick out in my mind as truly dominating what they did.

It's funny how people in this thread are choosing their favorite athlete, rather than answering the original question. Bill shouldn't even be listed the in the top 50 most dominant players in his sport, much less all sports. |

Roger Federer needs to be in the conversation of greatest athlete ever. His stats don't lie. Staggering.
1100 match wins. 93 titles. 19 majors. 108 million in prize money. 20 year career. Which is still going at the age of 36. First man over the age of 30 to win 2 majors in a year. |

Throwing one more out there for Ricky Carmichael. That angry little redhead just wouldn't quit. The hits he took that never took him out are ones for the record book. First turn, out for a Sunday (Saturday)drive. Tear off, no fucks given.
