It is said that the greatest test of driving in Formula one is during a wet racing.  Admittedly, Hamilton is good in the wet but not a patch Schumacher.  Indeed, Herr Regenmeister is by far and away the greatest talent in the wet which is a true display of driving ability.

Next season will be very interesting, I only hope Schumacher is given a decent car to show that young pup a lesson.  If not, Hamilton will be pipped by Button as Hamilton is too rash and not as good as handling pressure.

To be fair Hamilton does make a lot of silly mistakes.

So who was?, in your opinion, which in this case will be wrong.

There are a few who were probably 'greater' boxers. Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson, you could make a decent argument for Mike Tyson too.

O'Sullivan is very talented, but he's to darts what Gascoigne was to football.  If he better knew how to manage his emotions and apply his talent, he would be right up there with Davis and Hendry.  But he doesn't, and he's not.

And darts is a game, not a sport.

When did Ronnie start playing darts?

Chris Hoy anyone? and before him Boardman?

I might agree that Marciano is in with a shout. Robinson wasn't a heavyweight was he (I thought Randolph Turpin beat him ?)

No he won titles in the middle divisions - never heavyweight. I misunderstood the question.

Joe Louis' 11 years, 10 months as champion takes some beating for me.

 Wiltshireman Walter George, from Calne, held the world mile record for 30 years, from 1886.

 That'll do for me.

I reckon Bradman, he's so far ahead of anyone else in his sport.  His average is alarming.  The first time I saw it, I thought it was a misprint.  No-one else can compare.  And Maradona and Cryuff are both better than Pele (to just change the sport and make an unrelated point).

To bring the ice hockey slant, wayne gretsky was fucking ridiculous. Watching old games he played in, he was just head and shoulders above the rest, he could do stuff most other players dreamt about.

The current era of hockey is a good one too, sydney crosby (who plays more of a team game) and alexander ovechkin (more of an out-and-out sniper) are the current 'best in the world'.

Then you've got Patrick Roy, a shit hot netminder in his day, and Marty 'pieboy' Brodeur who's still fairly handy and should break a few more goaltending records before he retires.
