Enough of thoroughbreds....Dan Patch was the greatest pacer that ever lived....
....and he raced free-legged.
About a 100 years ago, he paced 1:55.25....that was on a dirt track...
...old technology racing bikes....primitive training methods.
....with the modern tracks and racing carts they have now....he might win the Indy 500.

Watched the match, one, if not the, best matches I've ever seen....especially given their ages. Federer was underdog by 3:1 on one betting site, played like a possessed twenty year old. Brought chills down my back.
Many years ago Federer acted like a spoiled brat on the court, once he changed to a more Zen like approach, he became both a fan and commercial favorite, very little yelling and in-your-face fist pumping...a class act. Many third rate sports can learn from his example.
Pound for pound is a two-way street....make Sugar Ray as heavy as Ali ....
....I'm thinking Ali was faster.
But now Mayweather has to be brought into the mix....
...Joe Louis said "He can run but he can't hide."....he never saw Mayweather fight....
....might've changed his mind.
Walter Ray Williams has won more PBA (Professional Bowling Association) national titles than anyone, won the most Player of the Year awards (7), most cash titles (7), most lifetime PBA earnings... and still bowling strong on the Senior tour. He is also regarded as the best horseshoe thrower of all time, winning that sports' "world championship" the most with the most "perfect games" of all time.
I'm Filipino, but I think WRW's accomplishments - among the best in bowling at a time of Pete Weber (most majors won, including the only one to win the triple crown TWICE), Wayne Webb, Amleto Monacelli, Norm Duke, through Jason Couch, Chris Barnes, Danny Wiseman, Dave Husted, Del Ballard, and host of others who have won at least 15 national titles - had far surpassed Nepomuceno. Paeng, BTW, happens to be in the Bowling Hall Of Fame, as well As WRW...
Tiger may be the greatest in our era, but he'll need to beat Jack's majors count to be considered the best ever. I'd agree with the other three, however.
Lou I believe I'm changing my vote to Serena Williams!! ✔
