Secretariat refused to conduct a single interview throughout his entire career. Great athlete or not, he sounds like an arrogant asshole to me.
WTF? Not only is he more athletic than anyone else on here, look at the list of derby horse descendants: Risen Star, Little Red, General Assembly, Innkeeper, Lady's Secret, Weekend Surprise, etc. What other goat has over 600 kids besides maybe Wilt Chamberlin?
Tony Hawk probably shouldn't make it that far. The majority of skaters don't care about vert ramp skating. It's kind of a side show even though it was popular to people that don't skateboard. Admittedly, in some cases like Danny Way launching over the Great Wall of China, it encompasses some of the coolest, most visibly pleasing, feats ever done by humans. He's the most important skater of all time, most influential. Easy argument for best vert skater though its an argument of comparison to others at the time because skating has evolved.
BUT... The skating that you see in the Olympics is a better representation of what skateboarding is actually like for 95% of people doing it. I wouldn't be surprised if there have been hundreds of thousands of people by now that are/were better than Hawk at that main kind of skateboarding. That's due to the massive progression of the sport and that he was never a great street skater even in his prime... because it wasn't his focus. I don't keep up with it anymore, so this is probably way wrong by now, but at one point it seemed like Nyjah Huston had the best claim of goat status for skateboarding.
Jahangir Khan and Don Bradman are gonna get done dirty, but:
Khan is generally considered the best squash player every, winning 555 straight matches starting when he was 18.
ok I've just been dicking around in the Arcade threads for a little bit rn, but I read this fact, thought "oh interesting" and then while googling something unrelated I just now found out his niece is Bat for Lashes??
