Are you talking athletes as in athleticism or dominance of their sport?

Yes current athletes only. And both off of athleticism and dominance in their sport. I guess this will decide which is more important to the fans.

I think it may be a good idea to shorten the list to 32, so that way we get the best of the best. 64 will include guys who have been one year wonders. I also think we should disclude college athletes, as they haven't risen to the pinnacle of their sports yet.
