When Phelps can swim a 100m as fast as Bolt can run one, then come back to me.
Bolt fastest man ever to exist. = Greatest athlete in the world.

As someone said - ATHLETE - YES, SPORTSMAN - NO!
Voted YES!
P.E.A.C.E.
The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that in glory and in triumph they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.
People are too stupid to effectively conspire to do anything, but not too stupid to come up with conspiracy theories.
No, the GOAT is Carl Lewis man, I was 9 yo during Tokyo World championships and I still remember the final of the length jump that he lost after having beaten the world record of bemon that people were saying was unbeatable. Powell won that day. But Lewis won the fastest 100m ever that year: 6 of 8 runners were under 10 sec !!
His 9 medals talk for him of course, Carl Lewis is a legend.
Michael Pheps, with all due respect, is just a phenomena who exercise in swiming were getting many medals is easier: relays, 200 back, 200 free, 100 Butterfly, 100 with a finger in the ass etc etc etc there are so many different way to get them medals.
Still, I don't think anybody will ever reach his performance if he gets the eigth
F.L.I.N.T.
If the question is about this year, well he just got the eigth which makes him eligible as the best sportman of the year, but this year Nadal won Roland Garros for the fourth time in a row and then won Wimbledon after one of the most classic match of history against Federer
F.L.I.N.T.
lol carl lewis was involved in the biggest performance enhancing cover up we've seen and should of had all his medals and records black listed from record books ... he's no more a cheat than ben johnson

did everyone forget who lance armstrong was during the olympic hype? He only won a 23 day race 7 times in a row. He even did it while recovering from cancer/chemo.
I would either say him, or Georges St. Pierre of the UFC. The absolute best pure athlete in the most physically demanding sport on the planet.
u can add michael phelps to that list. dont u see the way he gives his interviews. he sounds like a dope. i think hes a drug user. what the hell im not even watching the olympics much. i watch bits of it. i cant beleive i know about this phepls dude. i only watched like 1o minutes worth of the olympics.
well good job to the dope head
Why do y'all bring Bolt in the comparison. He just run the 100m and 200m. He's a specialised in these 2 very similar activities, so I think he can't be compared to one who dominate his sports in much more different types of events (100m to 400m).
But personnaly, I consider true olympic athletes those who do sports like hepatatlons, decathlons etc.. I think these competitions are the real Olympic
