    hmm

    according to the video info, bruce didnt agree that Bolt was the GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME

    if that's the case, i agree with Jenner

    the way this thread is titled is kinda bait

    By definition they classify decathletes as the best athletes and that is what they asked Bruce. So based on what they asked him his answer is correct. Usain would have to be able to be the best in those other events decathletes compete in and win it. They compete in 10 areas over two days, in order to win

    Don't post this shit. Ur gonna get tdk in here crying people are dissing Usain cause he's black.



    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decathlon


    Traditionally, the title of "World's Greatest Athlete" has been given to the man who wins the decathlon. This began when King Gustav V of Sweden told Jim Thorpe, "You, sir, are the world's greatest athlete" after Thorpe won the decathlon at the Stockholm Olympics in 1912.[2] The current decathlon world record holder is American Ashton Eaton, who scored 9,039 points at the 2012 United States Olympic Trials.[3]

    Who remembers decathletes names after Olympic games? Putting up an average performance in 10 events makes you great? There is a reason why a jack of all trades and master of none is not regarded in high esteem. Bruce Jenner is a spineless, weak man manipulated by his retarded wife and stepchildren and has no balls. He should STFU.

    Bolt is a great athlete he dominated in 2008 & 2012. I don't see anything wrong in calling Bolt one of the greatest athletes.

    Why do you think they asked a previous decathlete this question when decathletes are referred to at the greatest athletes.........unless Bolt competes in decathlon then he can't take the title of that event. He could be called the greatest sprinter though. But they didn't ask Bruce that.

    Petty that is his MO you shit stirrer.

    He is right. Usain Bolt while is a phenomenal Athelte & best sprinter to watch and made running one of the most exciting event to watch this past Olympics, I don't think he is the best Athlete of all time.

    As you know rolling and striking is incredibly taxing not to mention you have to defend as well as attack.
    Like the great Patrice Oneal said "If there ain't defense that shit isn't a sport"
    If there's no one actively trying to stop you from accomplishing your task its not that hard.

    there really isn't any comparison to mma and sprinting

    hell i wouldn't even compare wrestling to sprinting

    u find me a NCAA D1-A 2x champion from Iowa or back to back Olympic champion, and i'd give him more legendary status than Bolt

    i get it..he's fast..but to say that he's the Greatest 'Athlete' of all time..someone's clearly taking the piss

    If they said he was the greatest at his individual sport then there is something there because outside of Jordan or Tyson I've never seen anyone else so clearly dominate their respective sport.

    Edit: Gretzky too.

    Where did the word "Great" come from? It wasn't even used.

    "Is Usain the best athlete of all time?". Like he said, "No...He's the best sprinter".

    Fail, Steven.

    this thread needs more Dan Gable

    i learned about him during a jiu jitsu basics rolling session (i know, he's a wrestler..goes to show you how respected the guy is) in which we were practicing the 'Gable Grip.' it's a basic grip that prevents avoidable injuries to fingers, when locking a guy up
