Who is more dominant at their sport: Gretzky or GSP

Not talking about popularity, or revenue streams, or endorsement. Simply, who is/was the more dominant athlete in their sport?

I think GSP, to be honest, but by a very slim margin. In fact, GSP is to MMA what Jordan was to basketball, Joe Montana to Football, etc.

If anyone can think of an athlete more dominant at their sport than present day GSP, please post. Might be interesting.

 

i dunno, i just thought it was a better issue for debate than which athlete is more famous. At least with this question, GSP has some sort of a shot. And i think i might be a little bit on the proverbial bandwagon at the moment! lol

 

wow, dint quite expect the responses ive gotten. granted, not a very hot thread in this forum, but after all the debate and sustained criticism achieved with the popularity thread, id have thought i wouldnt be the ONLY one supporting GSP.

My reasons for thinking this are more in depth however than just the name (popularity is creeping in) Great One. GSP, from what Ive seen over the last couple of years, peaking with his recent destruction of Koscheck, has NO weaknesses. His striking, for UFC, is lethal, accurate, and unmatched. His ground game has improved to the point that, I believe Rogan said it, has made him one of, if not THE premier wrestler in the UFC. I'm guessing (and I hope Im right), his submissions are also top notch. He does it all, and dominates in every facet of the game.

Wayne Gretzky is absolutely my favorite hockey player of all time. I don't believe there has been nor will there ever be a better player than Number 99! He could score, pass, set up plays, and generally control every aspect of the game with ease. He has every record that means anything at all..............bodycheck him and hes done.




As simple as that.



He could not take a hit and he couldnt hit himself. He needed enforcers to protect him. This is why Im saying GSP is more dominant. He covers every aspect of the game. Gretzky did not.

 

Gretzky had more talent in his foreskin that Lemieux had in his entire body! Mario was a floater that would take off when he had the puck.

Mario was a great scorer, but NOT a great player.
