RE: Why isn't Michael Phelps the greatest athlete of all time?
He may be the greatest in swimming, as others are the greatest in what they do. There is no reason to generalize something like "best athlete". Some sports only have 1 medal, swimming has more. Are they lesser athletes for winning their 1 medal (max they could do) and the swimmer winning more (as there are more on offer to grab)?
