ESPN ranks Floyd Mayweather, Jr as the 17th best athlete of the last 20 years.

:rofl

 

you realize Sampras won an 'exhibition' right? it was during the Fed/Pete tour.
and Sampras SUCKED on clay

 

I'm guessing that having Mayweather's b*llsack into your mouth all the time is making it hard to breathe for a born mouthbreather like you. That would explain the brain damage from that lack of oxygen.

 

You can :rofl all you want....but is what it is....not in box top 20 even:good

 

Sure thing bud

 

Typical US centered bull**** list.

 

He won't have a winning record against Djokovic by the end of this year, let alone the end of his career.

By a week on Monday, Djokovic will have spent more time as World No. 1 than Nadal (Fed has more than double the time at No. 1 than Nadal). By the end of May, he'll have spent more time consecutively as World No. 1 than Nadal.

Djokovic has earned more prize money and will be there or thereabouts in terms of career titles with Nadal by the end of 2016.

Djokovic is also joint favourite to win at Roland Garros this year, and I reckon he'll do it.

Does that make Djoko the GOAT then?

 

Federer has longer at No. 1 both consecutively and cumulatively. Also has more slam wins, more wins overall, more titles, more prize money.

 

They only played once and Federer beat him. It was at Wimbledon in 2001.

 

The ATP weekly system has been in place since 1979. The tournaments and their scoring has changed in that system since then, but it's ultimately the same.

Sampras has ended the year as World No. 1 more times than any other player, but he hasn't actually held the position longer - Federer has - both consecutively and cumulatively.

 

He had match point against him in the semi final a couple of years ago and has run him close in other matches there. Nadal only holds a 5-4 record against him on clay in general since 2011.

Nadal's form has been shocking - he looks finished as a player. That's why the bookmakers have them as joint favourites at the French this year.

 

neither is golf.

 

Sampras 102 weeks in a row as No. 1
Federer 237 weeks in a row as No 1

Sampras 286 as no 1 in total
Federer 302 weeks as no 1 in total

 

Just checked out this list and can't believe how Americo-Centric it is. Its laughable.

Mia Ham???? WTH In Canada we've had at least one athlete in her sport that was better then her. And I could name several male Soccer players that would easily be in the top 10.

Usain Bolt the fastest man of all time and greatest sprinter of call time 16? Brett Farve shouldn't even be on the list...he's 15? Steriod cheat Lance Armstrong is 13?

Messi one of the top 5 all time soccer players of all time is #12...and Payton Manning is 7? Right cause he's so clutch in the playoffs...

Roy Jones should be in the top 5 but isn't even on the list...Didn't he play a professional basketball game the same day as he whooped on some dude in the ring???? Didn't he wasn't knockout a guy with a left hook he threw FROM BEHIND HIS BACK!!!!!! I'm who #$*@ing does that ?!?!?!? FROM BEHIND YOUR BACK????....I thought this was a fight about who was the best athlete?

Worst joke of a list ever.
