Interesting article on ESPN.com: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/070719
Here's a small part if you want to read:
Cynthia Cooper initially (she came out of retirement and played one year in 2003) played in the WNBA four years, she won four championships, four MVPs in those championships and two MVPs for the regular season. No other basketball player in the game's history can claim that kind of dominance.
Laila Ali, same thing. In her 24 professional fights she's never lost (21 KOs) and has never even come close to getting beaten. Of all of the great fighters who have ever fought (Lewis, Dempsey, Robinson or anyone that ever held the pound-for-pound crown), how many can claim that?
What about Graf? For the last two years, we have been talking about Federer and how he's dominating the circuit and how he's going to finally win tennis' Grand Slam. Well, Steffi not only won the Grand Slam (1988), she damn near back-to-backed it by winning three of the four majors in '89, losing only to Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in the finals of the French Open. And while Roger can't seem to win that major, understand this: Steffi won all four majors in tennis -- at least four times each.
