I forgot about Karelin. That man was a beast. No really. He weighed 15lbs. at birth...in Siberia.
When you compare careers, in one decade Tiger Woods has a 25% win rate. Karelin, in one decade of world-class competition (before that gold-medal match in Sydney), was 100%. But in terms of changing the nature of the sport, golf will literally never be the same at the professional level because of Tiger.
My pick for greatest athlete, pound-for-pound? Naim Suleymanoglu. One of four men to ever lift three times his own bodyweight in the clean & jerk, he set 46 world records and came back twice after his retirement to win at the Olympics. The epitome of bad-assery.
If the movie theater had WiFi, I would soooo liveblog during Beerfest.
