Most dominant athletes of the last 25 years

Miguel Cabrera just popped into my head.

He's right up there with Pujols. Some would even put him ahead of Albert.

It's a tough call.

He is in the mix for sure. Jeter also deserves consideration.

Jordan won all of his titles between 1990 - 1998. That's within 25 years.

He scored more points per game back in the 80s but he was in his prime in the 90s.

Yes he did but most of his dominate career was prior to that in my view when he carried the team. He had a lot of good teammates later. That's just my perception.

The Texas team proved USC was overrated by beating USC on a last minute drive. Silly talk.

Not really. Young beat the entire USC team single handed and they knew he was the only weapon Texas had.

So he was more dominant when he was not leading his team to NBA titles? Noted.

On a last second drive...you are simply wrong. You don't win 28 straight games without being good.

What the hell?

It was more the case of UT's defense winning that game and Young pulling it out in the end.

Of course they were good but I started out by saying Young was not a dominant player, then went on to point out his career and included his victory over USC didn't make him dominant because they were apparently overrated if he single handedly beat them. My focus was about Young. USC was a good team but in the end they were proven that they were not the best for that year.

Just depends whether you view him as a better individual athlete in the 80s or 90s.

Young didn't play defense and your point is taken that the vaunted USC offense were stiffled. Further their defense couldn't stop Young. So much for a great rated team. Thanks for the assistance.

Vince Young was clearly a dominant player. I hate the Longhorns and that retard even more but dude just itook games over

VY wasn't dominant, as the USC team he beat was overrated. We know that USC team was overrated, because VY beat them.

That's called begging the question.

Granted he was a great athlete but maybe I don't understand dominant. The team only won one conference championship with him and only 2 post season games. His prowess as good as it was didn't get the domination a team seeks by being perennial winners.

He left college as a Jr. I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not but it is a little tough to become a perennial winner when you only have two Real seasons to do it. As a freshman he struggled to find his groove a little but but as a junior and sophomore pretty much took things over. Namely in his junior season.

Furthermore, you have yet to name anyone to put on this list, Pops.

He was dominant but most dominant ever?

I don't think he fits that category.

If he does, then Winston has to be in the discussion.

I honestly don't see it with Winston. He was clutch for sure but not dominant imo.

Vince Young and Tebow are two of the best college players in the last 25 years imo. There may be more but nobody has,put out a solid arguement yet.

Neither had a ton of competition throughout some years, but Lennox Lewis and Money Mayweather have displayed dominance over a long period of time.

It's hard for me to call a boxer dominant when he isn't knocking fools out like early Tyson and Foreman.

For the record I don't think Winston is in the discussion but looking at their total yardage and winning percentage it's not much difference and Young played 1 season longer.

Young only had 1000 more total yards in 3 seasons as opposed to 2 and Young always played on stacked teams while Winston had 1 stacked team.

Why should Young be considered more dominant?

Heck Colt McCoy 2008 season was just as good as any Young had.

Tyson has to be in the discussion as most dominant, yes he fell off but until he went to jail he was an all time great.
