whats more impressive is that fournette weighs like 230 lbs and mondo weighs around 175..

for the record

So? Are we looking for the better athlete or not? Mondo has a faster PR in the 100m by a long shot, jumped 23-5 in long jump, and the 2 highest jumps ever in pole vault. He's objectively a better athlete than Fournette.

ETA: and Penrod was the one to bring up "talent" in the 100m, which Mondo is more talented in

Baloney. You are implying that I brought up the 100 as a way to measure each athlete's athleticism. That's not true. I brought it up to point out that guys who are world class in the 100 meters are better athletes than world class pole vaulters because they face far more competition. Similarly, Fournette and Mathieu face better competition in their fields than Mondo.

To put it in perspective: Are we going to call the Olympic Curling champions the world's best athletes?

How many opposing college athletes has Mondo trucked on the field? Because I think it’s zero.

You’re cherry picking the stats or abilities that consider relevant to prove the greatest athlete ever.
