Of course we know Rice and Lewis...

But...The question is, do you think you could see either Rossi or Senna doing any other sport and succeed..?

I agree. Motorcycle racers have no part in this thread

Well, I wouldn't go that far and say that they are not athletes, but we are talking about sheer physical gifts...I mean, can Rossi hop off that bike, dunk a basketball and then hit a few homeruns..?

That's all I'm saying...Will his physical gifts and attributes allow him to be as dominant in other sports as he is in his native sport..? The people I listed are all multi sport athletes, or tremendous physical specimens...

I wasn't saying that they weren't athletes...what I said is that they have no part of this thread. WHat I mean by that is we're trying to find the perfect athlete who would succeed at every sport. Motorcycle racers aren't that. They have to have instinct, reaction, and mental toughness but that's not gonna make it in every sport

Two guys I forgot about, if we're talking pure athleticism, are Champ Bailey and Boss Bailey. Champ has a 42 inch vertical jump and Boss jumped 46 inches!!!!! That's almost 4 feet just from a stand still start.

Hmmm...Champ is definitely a top notch athlete, but I think the jury is still out on Boss, though he is gifted no doubt...

Now THAT's a name M8..! Love Charlie Ward...Man, you could not have told me that he wasn't the coldest QB ever...Nice one...

Deion and Bo are shoe ins, but I'd have to say the nod goes to Bo, as he was size, speed, and power...Not more so than my boy Jim Brown, but close enough...
