Who’s the greatest male athlete ever (best physical specimen)?

tall babes
Rupert Roo asked:

I define this as the fastest, strongest and overall most coordinated individual; NOT the most impressive feat in sports. For example, Michael Jordan was probably the best basketball player of all time but was he really the greatest physical athlete? I’m 6 feet tall and bet I can bench press more and run a mile faster than Jordan (but I **** at basketball). Probably one of the decathletes or something. And please don’t say Tiger or **** Ruth for the same reasons.

    I might have to say Jim Thorpe. Voted greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century.
