I guess controversy sells ... "Track and field is so much more physically demanding ..." Michael Phelps is not the greatest Olympic athlete in history

    I don't think it is any different from assuming that Phelps would have a distinct advantage in any water based activity. Bolt is the fastest human on the planet so it is not illogical that he would have a significant advantage in land based activities. That is why I asked him to explain his "assumption"....what is he basing his assumption on? And I don't just mean running....he made the statement that it would include "every land based competition"
