DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 1 Share Posted July 18 I saw this today and thought how hard it must have been to rank the top 100 pro athletes since the year 2000. After reading through the list a few things came to mind. 1. There were too many race car drivers. Sorry, but they’re not athletes. My MIL still drives fast and she’s 90. 2. There were not enough MMA fighters. In fact, the female fighters were totally left off. Amanda Nuñez and Rhonda Rousey carried many a PPV event by themselves because of their skill. 3. How in the world do you leave off Ashton Eaton? Only three people in history have been deemed “World’s Greatest Athlete” in two straight Olympic Games and he’s the only one to do it in the last 40 years. Anyway, these are my personal opinions. I would be interested in seeing all of your opinions on this list. Ranking the top 100 professional athletes since 2000 - ESPN WWW.ESPN.COM Who tops our list of the top athletes since 2000?
