re: Is Djokovic now the GOAT of GOATs over Gretzky?

quote:

Katie Ledecky is probably the goat of goats, though nobody watches swimming outside the Olympics

She's not even close to being the GOAT swimmer.

Michael Phelps has 28 Olympic medals (23 gold)
Michael Phelps has 38 World Championship gold medals.
Michael Phelps broke 39 World Records.
Michael Phelps was great in every stroke.
Michael Phelps dominated 8 different events/races.
Nobody will EVER touch those marks.

In fact HE is probably your GOAT of GOAT champion, although comparing different sports, let alone eras of sports, is impossible which makes this entire thread a fools errand.

But as much as I respect the accomplishments of Djok, I feel pretty confident saying the GOAT of GOATs is not a tennis player who won fewer tournaments than Jimmy Connor, fewer Grand Slam matches than Federer and only 1 more Grand Slam title than a clay court specialist. He has stubbornly earned the Tennis GOAT crown, but he isn't quite in the company of guys like Gretsky yet. And yeah, his nationality and personality play into that somewhat (which isn't entirely fair) but it's more based on what I said above. He was slightly better than two of his contemporaries; that's not enough.
