Bonds averaged 52 homeruns a year? I knew that number was gonna be high but
Holy shite that's insane.

Tiger Woods made 143 consecutive cuts from 1998-2005.

From 2000-2004, yep. Now, his 73 season does skew that some...

It has to be someone from an individual sport maybe Anderson Silva, or Roger Federer.

I would go with Vitali Klitschko

45-2 record
41 KOs
2 losses cam due to injury while up on the cards

Never been knocked down
Never been behind on the cards at any point in any fight

Edwin Moses?



From 1977 to 1987 Moses won 122 consecutive races.

And set the WR 4 times.

He won gold in 1976 and 1984. And would have won gold in 1980.

Dan Gable? 181-1 wrestling mark in college.

Maddux from 1995-1999ish has to be in this discussion without looking at the numbers.

I do know he went 19-2 with a 1.63 ERA in 1995

Yeah, I think Federer made 18 out of 19 grand slam finals. That is unmatched.

What did Koufax do?

Usain Bolt, pretty much unbeatable in the 100 and 200, and it lasted pretty long with maybe some periods where he wasn't in top shape.

The most "in the zone" I've ever seen an athlete is when Klay Thompson went off for 37 in a quarter against the Kings a couple of years ago. He literally could not miss and he didn't even score until 2 minutes had passed in the quarter.

Yeah, Pedro from '97-'03 is pretty unreal, especially in the Home Run era. His 2000 season is probably the greatest of all time, or at the very least in the discussion.

I'm willing to put Pedro's peak against Maddux.
