    A bit low imo, should be around top 5 AT LEAST

    There are not many like him, the athleticism, the greatness

    IMO, he is just behind Jordan in terms of success.

    I got Jordan at 1, then maybe Floyd at 2, 3 would be Tiger, 4. LeBron

    You don't know sh*t about F1 then.

    5 laps in an F1 car and you'd break down lol.

    Show me an unfit Formula 1 driver - there arn't any...

    Meanwhile you have fat unathletic boxers.

    I watched mythbusters on F1 driving and they lose like 8lbs to a stone in weight due to sweat just like boxers do. I was quite surprised about that. Personally, I don't know nothing about F1, but I do like Mythbusters :)

    Think you could sit in a c0ckpit in 90% humidity at 50 celcius for nearly 2 hours whilst undergoing 5G's in braking force? - (5x your body weight) multiple times a lap.

    I got Floyd ahead of Federer/Tiger/LeBron/Kobe etc etc. He is far more successful in his sport than they are. No offense to Fed's 17, Tiger's reign in the late 90's, early 2000's etc etc

    I don't know much about F1 but even when I was racing in some small track cars I had my core muscles flexed almost the entire time. I can't imagine 5Gs of force on me (especially on the turns).
