[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1017306, member: 70552"] Absolutely, but part of the "GOAT" debate is the impact a particular sports person has had. Putting aside "strength" aspect of the GOAT debate, another important aspect is whether the GOAT has transcended their sport/field. Women making up Half or more than half can't and shouldn't be discounted from the debate. On your last point The late Great Boxing writer/historian Burt Sugar said of comparing boxers from different eras if like comparing apples and oranges. He actually put Joe Louis as his number 1 heavyweight ahead of Ali, not because in an imaginary fight Louis would beat Ali or visa versa, but rather each against their peers in their own eras.
