Is there a difference between Favorite athletes of all time and Greatest athletes of all time? Favorite could include many factors besides pure athleticism or first place in the record books. What they did off the field and what they brought to their sport? Or just to your favorite sport? Bad guy Ty Cobb vs. good guy Stan Musial? Greatest football legend or the meanest SOB to ever come out of the locker room.? Greatest ever at one sport or one of the greatest at more than one sport? Is the current Olympic Decathlon record holder the �World's Greatest Athlete?" Or the guy who did it first? Jim Thorpe

Had the opportunity to be lapped by Ned in a couple races back in the day. Ned was/is an animal.
Raced %110 from start to finish, what ever it took.
Edwin Moses was light years ahead of anyone in his era.
Surprised no mentioned Herschel Walker.

This has already been determined as Sir Donald Bradman who is the only sportsman in history to perform twice as well (High Score game Averages)than the best number 2 who ever lived regardless of generation or era. His double score standing has never been equaled to this day.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
