What? Enlighten me. It seems an athlete can make a better claim to be objectively the best than something like a rock band or video game, at least the best at the time.
Best is subjective. Let’s say that for me, the best boxer is the one with the best technique, and for someone else the best boxer is the one with the strongest punches or the fastest, how can there be an objectively best boxer then? Even then, maybe there’s someone out there who has even stronger punches, you would need to trial all humans on earth to prove he has the objective strongest punches.
If you can, though, you can just put them in a ring and see who wins? GOAT discussions are more subjective, but the most shirt sales go to those who are CURRENTLY dominating the sport.
Cult of personality.
