... what with Federer, it's amazing how in some sports where alot comes down to biomechanics and technique, how can one man be so so far ahead of anyone else?
Which in turn got me wondering who people on here think was clearly the greatest in their sport, a genuinely undisputed no 1?
The only 3 I can think of out there currently would be Usian Bolt, Federer and Tiger Woods; maybe Bradman when he was cricketing, although I suppose it's harder to distinguish in a team sport. I'm half tempted to say Phil Taylor and Ronnie O'Sullivan but they're not really sports.
Discuss.

O'Sullivan self destructs too regularly to be considered dominant anyway, miles ahead on his day but not regularly enough.
Valentino Rossi?

If Golf is a sport then I don't see why Snooker and Darts shouldn't be.

Cos it's outdoors and actually involves some physical exertion |

From a few years ago (and maybe again soon) Michael Schumacher.
Weather its a sport or not, you have to admire Phil Taylor for being that bloody good at it, must take some skill.

Lewis Hamilton. Schumacher definitely wasn't one. Snooker and darts are sports, I don'e see any real reason why they wouldn't be.

Schumacher definitely wasn't one. Why not? He won the World championships of anyone (7) |

Are you having a laugh? Hamilton is nowhere near a true number one, dominant in Formula One. He's a great driver, and won his Championship well, but last year admittedly in a poor car he wasn't competitive. I wouldn't even say Hamilton is the best driver in Formula One... In Formula One, it'd have to be Schumacher, although I'm dubious as to whether motor-racing is really relevant to a thread on dominance, as too much of it is down to the machinary at the driver's disposal. |

I think you must be joking. Hamilton is easily the best driver in Formula One at the moment, it's not even at all close. No-one would have been competitive in his car last year but he still won races in it which is incredibly impressive. He didn't even have the best car the season he won the championship, which Schumacher always did. |
