Has any other athlete dominated their respective sports the way Mayweather has?

You don't get to pick and choose in other sports who you get to compete against. :deal

 

Forget dominating the sport it's about records. You can dominate the sport by fighting low level opposition, OR you can dominate by setting new records.

Ok floyd has his undefeated record but his resume will always be questioned as to why he didnt ever fight the best at their best.

You don't get that in tennis, you're consistently playing the best in order to win he grand slams.

Federer has broken and set his own grand slam record and by some margin, which is a great achievement.

He also has the record of staying at number 1 for the longest period of time.

 

Wilt Chamberlain
Phelps
Pele

Ive named 5 so far

 

he's saying 17 years.

 

i swear a lot of these floyd threads are made by MVC

 

17 Years fighting once in a while and avoiding the best
does not mean much.

 

Roy Jones Jr dominated for 15 yrs barely losing a round.

 

:deal

 

phil taylor is a 16 time darts world champion

 

darts isnt a sport
i can think of other things do with one hand that is more a sport than that

 

Mayweather has been named fighter of the year once by BWAA(2007) and twice by the ring(98 and 2007) and was not named fighter of the decade in either the 90s or the 2000s.

Dominating his weight class? Maybe, but definitely not the sport.

 

Lionel Messi, greatest footballer ever and he is only 24

 

in other sports you have to compete against the other top athletes

 

Jerry Rice was more dominant in the NFL, than Floyd is in boxing.
