The great debate
Other urls found in this thread:
ruler of land and sea
don't compare across sports, they are respective GOATs
Bolt.
Swimming is medal welfare like no other event
Bolt can't even place in a 200m or a 400m.
Phelps is superior.
No comparison, both goats. Phelps may have more longevity with swimming though.
Bolt is greater but not by much. If running had 1 million events like swimming bolt would have 30 golds.
BOLT no question, shut the thread down
Are they both proof that genetics > anything else?
Bolt, by a margin.
Fastest human being alive, OFF ALL TIME. The discipline that has had the most prestige (i.e. being the fastest human being alive) throughout all the ages.
Who gives a shit about being a fast swimmer? kek
phelps is GOAT
Aquaman vs The Flash
1. Bolt
2. Ledecky
3. Phelps
7 Golds vs 23 Golds
No debate necessary, Bolt is a legend but Phelps is a god
Bolt
Swimming is a meme sport with like 100 events, it's easy as fuck to win gold in that sport.
>genetics
The Flash can travel through time but once in a comic Aquaman summoned Cuthulu.
So it's tough.
If Bolt were a hurdles champ too, or could even run anything other than a sprint he would have a case.
only Ameriswims would think there is a debate
are you retarded?
Phelp's sport is literally for hacks. Stop handing medals like they are candy and we'll see.
One is king of land
Other is king of the sea
But then, who was air?
Phelps is probably the best Olympian to ever exist
The other is a cheating Rastafarian
bolt, obviously
Humans are truly dumb pieces of shit.
Everybody was sucking on Phelps untill now, but because Bolt appeared 1 minute ago in television, he is much more relevant.
They have a hurdles of 110 m and he also refuses to do the 400, why do you think he would do more events if there were more? Also no long or triple jump?
>le run in a straight line man
vs
>le 36 events per year man
Bolt has 7 golds out of 7. Phelps has some silvers and bronzes.
Bolt obviously.
HEIGHT, FACE, FRAME
But Phelps was the one caught smoking weed, so who is actually the Rasta now?
>who was air?
Would have been Shaun White before he choked hard last time.
tell me when Phelps do this
Running does have multiple events and there are different events he can participate in also.
There is nothing stopping bolt from competing in the long jump, triple jump, 100m hurdles, 400m, 1500m, etc etc.
Phelps while is only swimming, there are different strokes and he competes in more qualifications rounds for a number of events so his body is taxed hard
You're not even hiding your butthurt.
> Ameriswims even trying
>all the gay ass swimming categories
bolt would lose if he had to run like a faggot
Bolt - runs in the fastest event
Phelps - does NOT swim in the fastest event
i mean, it's pretty obvious
If Phelps only chose his top 3 events each year like Bolt then he wouldn't
Sir Bradley Wiggins is way better than those show off's
...Mike Powell?
I'm sucking off both, they're both GOATS.
But some GOATS are more GOATS than others.
swimming is 10x harder on the body, how is this even a comparison
the 100m is the most iconic Olympic discipline and one of the most watched sport events in the whole world. Being that dominant on it is worth more than a dozen swimming events people don't actually watch or care.
Michael Johnson is better than Bolt desu, come back to me once bolt does the 400 as well
bolt and it's not even debatable tbqh
Bolt. No question.
is phelps the fastest swimmer of all time?
Can you imagine Bolt losing to a chubby asian kid?
Bolt.
Phelps is great, but Bolt is GOAT
Bolt will be GOAT if he comes back in four years and wins again.
Stop.
You can't compare the 2.
Might as well compare Gretzky and Montana
Michael Jordan of course
>all the yuros picking Bolt
LMAO
What debate? Phelps is the GOAT, the greatest athlete of all time.
Others don't even come close.
Bolt in 2020?
Gretzky > Montana
prove me wrong
protip: you can't
Bolt. 100 and 200m and relay is the marquee event of the Olympics
Phelps dominating multiple events is more impressive than bolt only running 100meters
Who do you think?
both smoke weed
SQUARES BTFO
420
Phelps no contest. Bolt is a sprint baby who literally cannot compete for longer than 30 seconds.
Gretzky >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Carl Lewis @ Long Jump
> americans: the post
Phelps actually does other events that aren't all geared towards his strength and he still dominated.
There's nothing holding back Bolt from qualifying for all those other athletic events other than his disbelief in himself to win gold in them.
The world literally stops to watch the men's 100m. There is no aquatics event that even comes close to that prestige.
This
LeBron is king of da land.
can i get some of that salt on my fries please, McBurger-kun?
The 100 meters is ten times more prestigious and iconic than all the other shitty events put together (swimming, sailing, rowing, team sports, indoor sports, etc)
Kohei Uchimura
if bolt had 110m 95m 101m 103m events like swimming then he would have more medals
but nope phelps statpadding
bolt>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>phelps
100m = fuck the german, most iconic, olympics sport.
Phelps. Probably top 3 athlete of all time
The real question is who is the King of Kings?
>The world literally stops to watch the men's 100m.
/thread
Bolt
>not even the most decorated man in track and field history
>GOAT
BOLT ONLY RAN 9.81!!!
In track and field 100m Oly final this is SLOW!
Bolt greatest sprinter of all time no doubt, but Phelps greatest Olympian.
Why can't you like both?
Why do you spergs have to make everything a competition?
Gretzky >>>>>>> Montana, not even close.
>Only people defending Phelps are Americans
About right
>Justin Bieber is one of the greatest musicians ever
There is literally 110 hurdles and 400 meter and 400 meter hurdles. Also long and triple jumps. He is scared to lose them so he doesn't enter them.
Bolt, because i just watched him win
>I'm black the post
You can love both athletes and still concede that Bolt is the greatest
This. The 100m is as THE Olympic event. It's as iconic and prestigious as it gets
The 100m freestyle or butterfly doesnt even compare
the fastest you can click start/stop, that's the difference between bolt and gatlin
>only people picking Bolt are pooworlders
It's amazing how united America makes the rest of the world in being jealous fucks
>was vacuuming the house and missed the 100m
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Wether the're doped or not ?
This. I don't like both of these guys but I respect both of them equally. Bolt is GOAT though
>Phelps
>Golds in distances from 100m-400m
>Bolt
>can't compete outside of 200m
Get a job you fucking neet
Mens 100m is the premier event at the Olympics. The average person couldn't name an single event Phelps had won a medal in.
So Bolt.
/thread
100m is the Olympics
You should defend him too.
He's been putting his cock in your ass all week.
Nah. Bolt is better because the talent pool that Bolt participates in is higher than swimming.
Phelps literally beat Leonidas
>lmao at all these cucks going with bolt because they are still pissed US cucked them out of every swimming event
