Bob Hayes
Valery Borzov
These two were dominate (I think...vets help me here:) but competed in
another era. They were on top before the huge jumps in technology for
tracks, equipment and training.
I think that the list is incompete if all we list are athlete since 1980.
But then it becomes really hard to compare..but the debate would be interesting.

Can't include Frankie(even though he is one of my favs). He is in the same
category as Calvin Smith. He was not dominate.

If Mitchell stays on the list, even with a positive test, then I think we
still look at Ben.

Linford should be there.

I don't see Carl as obvious unless we are only talking about the greatest of
the last two decades.
I think that Donovan Bailey was a big time performer but was not on top any
where close to as long as others.
