I'd like to say that I was just waiting for the right time for my post, but that just isn't true. But Tiger's 3rd win of the season, more than any other in golf this year, makes it timely.
I think we need to split the question, most dominant now and greatest ever are two drastically different questions.
Greatest ever, I think Federer is right there in his sport as being the all time greatest, but his time is past for improving on that list. Tiger is in a similar position but I think will continue to ascend that list for many years and ultimately end on top.
The most dominant in their sport, well that is a definite neither. But if one gets the title it is Tiger. Any conversation in golf has once again reverted to Tiger v. the field. There may be 15-20 guys that can win on tour each week, but few would bet against Tiger v. any other single player. For tennis, it gets down to the final 4 each tourney. There may be 3-5 others that can surprise in a tournament, but usually not. You will usually end up with Djokavic, Federer, Nadal and Roddick. And Federer is likely 3rd or 4th on that list of most likely to win the tournament.
Like it or not Marc, Tiger is clearly better now and all time in his respective sport.
