    Won 555 consecutive competitive games between '81 and '86.
    Longest winning streak by any top professional athlete in any sports according to Guiness World Records.

    He's won 4 of the 7 tournaments he's played this season in fields of well over 100 players on a level playing field. Last years he has changed swing, personal problems and injuries. Woods/Mayweather.

    Michael Jordan dominated basketball and faced the best the league had to offer every year.

    Joe Montana and Jerry Rice dominated American football and faced the best in the league in the playoffs every year.

    Messi and Ronaldo are dominating European football while playing in the most difficult leagues in the world and facing the best teams in the world.

    Roger Federer, Pete Sampras, and Rafa Nadal have each dominated tennis while facing the greatest players in the world, one on one, repeatedly.

    Floyd doesn't hold a candle to any of them. And those were just the guys off the top of my head.

    Sorry for the music but Teddy Riner is the most dominant judoka ever at only 24 (5 times heavyweight world champion, first time at only 18, olympic champion and counting).

    What about Sergei Bubka, the pole vaulter ?

    He has been retired for years and his world record is still pretty untouchable. He's definitely one of the most dominant athletes ever if not the most dominant.

    No because other top athletes need to go in against top opposition. Mayweather simply chooses not to.

    How about Ed Moses 122 consecutive wins in the 400 metres hurdles, over 9 years, and 9 months, consistently having to take on the best in the world?
