Jordan, Tiger or Phelps?

Who is the best athlete of the three? I think it is real difficult to compare the three sports, and it depends on your definition of an athletc. Michael was great and had a good supporting cast. Tiger and Phelps do it by themselves. Phelps is much fitter and the endurance is grueling, not to mention the mental focus he must have. Tiger is a good athlete and the mental focus he has is phenomenal. I still give the nod to Phelps.

Phelps sport is much more gruelling than either Jordan and Tiger.

Jordan's and Tiger's chance for error, in their sport, is much higher. They can come back and change their outcome. Phelps has no room for error. He either wins the race or doesn't. He does. His success rate is higher than either Jordan or Tiger.

Unfortunately for Phelps, swimming is not a sport on nation TV each week.

Phelps is my choice.
