In my opinion and I'm sure many of yours. Michael Phelps is the greatest athlete ever!

sorry to be so blunt with you, and he is an amazing athelete but VERY far from the greatest...

Phelps, Schmelps ... this amazing athlete isn't even in 'top 5'
The Province Published: Friday, August 15, 2008

Chicago Tribune columnist Philip Hersh says everyone should "stop hyperventilating about Michael Phelps."

The swimmer supreme doesn't make Hersh's top five Olympians of all time:

1. Carl Lewis, U.S., track and field. "Lewis won nine gold medals, four in the 1984 Olympics and four straight in one event, the long jump."

There are so many good athletes that I don't think you can name just one the greatest.

Yay for Carl, 9 golds over 2 Olympics, very impressive.

However, Phelps won 6 golds in Athens and 8 in Beijing. So that makes14 Golds, which is far and away the most Olympic Gold medals by anyone, ever.

And since when should people base their opinions on what some sports writer in Chicago thinks?

ok fine my bad. I was just so hyped up after seeing that last race of his. he might not be THE greatest athelete but he is one of them. just this past Olympics have been amazing were he broke 7 world records! With that said who do u think is the top greatest athletes???........other than Carl Lewis. lol

yeah i agree    if track was like swimming a sprinter like usain bolt could win the 100 meter dash, the hundred meter skip, the 100 meter backwards run, the 100 meter hop....the 4 by 100 relay etc etc etc... greatest athlete ever is probably haile gebreselaisie who runs 6  410 miles back to back

jason lezak isnt as good a swimmer as phelps....but hes way cooler.  When they asked lezak how he managed to pull it together and win in the last leg of the relay he says "well...before the race i looked up and saw kobe and lebron and i thought that theres no way i could let those guys down"

phelps would be a better swimmer if everybody would stop trying to suck his cock while he swam.

he is seriously the most overhyped athlete.....ever.

i mean, hes good, and he seems like a good person, but everyone should jump off his dick.

word is bond.
