Michael phelps is NOT greatest olympian ever b/c....

This is not my opinion, but have heard this argued multiple times the past few days
He is swimming in a upper class white dominated sport. If swimming were more accessible to inner city black kids then he would have more competition and a deeper talent pool To compete against and he would not come close to his medal count.
Everyone can run, so usain bolt or carl Lewis are the best Olympians ever bc they accomplished what they did against the unquestionable best the world could possible throw at them
What say you?
It is impossible to compare the merits of one sport to another.Phelps showed an ability to focus and will to win that is right up there with the best of the best.
