QuoteI think Taylor is the answer. Complete dominance. You could put your house on a Taylor win. Yep, Katie Taylor is so dominant in her sport.
Has Michael Jordan been mentioned???
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!

must be tony mc coy after his magnificent achievement 3,000 winners so far in his career ...( and he's irish but you would hardly know due to wonderfull coverage by our national tv service to acknowledge this )
McCoy became the all-time winning-most jumps jockey in Britain, beating Richard Dunwoody's record of 1,699, when scoring on Mighty Montefalco at Uttoxeter on 27 August, 2002.
He also eclipsed Gordon Richards' record total of 269 winners in a season on Valfonic at Warwick on April 2, 2002.
Born in County Antrim in 1974, McCoy began his career on the Flat and bagged his first winner, Legal Steps, at Thurles in March 1992.
McCoy has won the Cheltenham Gold Cup, the Champion Hurdle, the Queen Mother Champion Chase and the King George in a glittering career.
Only the Grand National continues to elude him in his ceaseless quest for big-race triumphs.

can I play Devils advocate?
yeah he was great back in the day - but apart from Ruby the quality of a lot of the jockeys these days leaves a lot to be desired - competiton in the Uk isnt the best
(albeit Leopardstown this year had many young up and comin Irish guys - Townend looks promising)
Also he had a good pick of decent horses when Pipe was around
Also his record in the national?
but yeah 3000 - cant argue with that -good luck to him travelling up and down the country - shows comittment riding in places as exotic as uttoxeter et al
The most dominant, also best imo, sports person of my lifetime is without doubt - Michael Schumacher. No question.
He has no serious rivals when all things are taken into consideration.

could say the same of phil taylor / tiger woods / scumacher etc... you can only be better each year on what is in your sport so any sportsman who constantly wins weekly / monthly / deserves all the credit they get ..
" football is a simple game "
yeah i get you, Mccoy is/was top class - im just saying nowadays in the UK there isnt as many top class jockeys like when Tony was in his prime all those years ago
mc coy would tell you he is still in his prime
" football is a simple game "
I have to say i have never seen person dominate a sport quite like taylor.
Tiger would be second for me.
Footballing wise I give it too Maldini

Ronaldao was just Ronaldo till Ronaldo came along.

For me, Ronaldo will always be the clinical phenom striker who finished better than anyone I've ever seen..He's not the real Ronaldo either.
