Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Any sport, any era Go... This is such a typical Canadian answer but I have to say Wayne Gretzky. Still hold so many records that will never be broken. Michael Phelps a very, very close 2nd. Actually I guess you could even put him as #1 CBF
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Secretariat. Ha! Bruce Jenner....err Kaitlin...never mind.
RaoulDuke79 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Gotta go with Vincent Edward Jackson. More commonly known as Bo. Little known fact, I believe it was either a coach or family member who used to refer to him as a boar hog which was shortened to Bo.
eball Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Jim Thorpe, Bo Jackson Funny, those were the first two names that popped into my head before I read a single response.
TheElectricCompany Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I'm not a Lebron homer, but if we're talking pure athleticism, not just versatility across sports, I think he's a serious contender.
Royale with Cheese Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 I'm not a Lebron homer, but if we're talking pure athleticism, not just versatility across sports, I think he's a serious contender. Definitely a good answer. 6"8 and 270 lbs and can move like him....don't know if we've ever seen that. Bo Jackson is another.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Jim Thorpe, Bo Jackson This is the correct answer!
Greybeard Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Any sport, any era Go... This is such a typical Canadian answer but I have to say Wayne Gretzky. Still hold so many records that will never be broken. Michael Phelps a very, very close 2nd. Actually I guess you could even put him as #1 CBF If your going to go with Gretzky, I could say Babe Ruth matches up rather well. Ruth dominated his peers like no other. I''m with Hammersticks on this one, the first two that came to mind were Thorpe and Jackson.
BillsPride12 Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Bo Jackson Michael Jordan(absolutely dominated the game of basketball, although ridculed for it by media what he did when he went to Minor League Baseball was actually pretty impressive if you know what your talking about, pretty good stick on the golf course, and he was also known to run a blackjack table or two )
mrags Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 Marquise Goodwin is a world class sprinter and Olympic long jumper. He's also a starting WR in the NFL.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 To CBF's pick, i think hockey players are typically considered the best pure athletes.
Augie Posted August 4, 2017 Posted August 4, 2017 To CBF's pick, i think hockey players are typically considered the best pure athletes. Gretzky is certainly an excellent answer, that's for sure!
