Post Athlete of the Decade

Good morning Cellar!
I've been gone since summer, focusing on you know, senior year and school and getting a job () and whatnot. I don't post here much but that's ok. Anyway...

2010 is almost upon us!
Who do YOU think is the Athlete of the Decade?

It has to be Tiger. Anyone who can shag that many beautiful women before his wife found out must be performing at an athletic pace.

Nobody has so completely dominated their sport for the past decade like Lance Armstrong, and do to so after brain surgery and chemotherapy is a testimony to mental toughness. There are few sports more physically demanding than competitive cycling, and he has completely defined the sport for a decade.

Phelps for me. I went through a phase of reading sporting bios and autobios a while back and Phelps' was the one that really stood out for this decade. Lance this decade has been a bit more of a Tiger Woods wrt womanizing and being an arrogant a-hole. IMO

Manny Pacquiao started fighting at age 16 and weighed 106 (light flyweight). His big break happened in 2001 when he stepped in as a replacement and became the new IBF World super bantamweight champ at the MGM Grand.
Since then he has repeatedly defended the seven world titles he holds in the seven different weight divisions he holds. He is considered by many the "pound for pound" best boxer in the world. His record is 50-3-2, with 38 KOs.
What a little guy!

I've only heard of 6 of those people. I'm obviously not qualified to vote.

You can still vote are you kidding me? Half the US population shouldn't be qualified to vote for our President if you're putting it in those terms.

Btw, Cloud who are the 6?

not telling, 'cause I'm 'barrassed. Actually, I do recognize one or two more, now that I've looked at it more closely.

Can you even compare athletes from different sports?
