Ho hum, Tiger wins again . . .

Is it premature to declare Tiger the greatest professional athlete of any sport of all time?

  3. Such a hard question because of the variety of activities covered, team or individual, career or or just a period of excellence. From the standpoint of a career I would include Tiger in my top few names; Babe Ruth, Pele, Tiger Woods.I try to consiider these people against their contemporaries to be fair. Babe Ruth known for changing the game with is homerun hitting was justifiably considered one of the top 4 pitchers in baseball when he went to the Yankees and moved to the outfield.
    Pele had over 100% more goals in his career than the second place socrer and he was the best passer of the ball that I have ever seen.
    Tiger need take a back seat to noone and he is in his prime now. No telling what he might do.
