The Greatest Athlete of Our Time?

Jump to Comments

Its about time we all recognize the greatness we are seeing right now.   53 and three quarter freaking hot dogs in 12 minutes.  That’s six straight titles for Takeru Kobayashi.  Six straight!  I haven’t seen Tiger Woods win 6 straight tournaments, Michael Jordan never won 6 straight championships.  Kobayashi is the greatest athlete of our time. 

Sadly, the US media refuses to appreciate Kobayashi, instead promoting his American challenger Joey Chestnut.  Kobayashi, like any great competitor, gave Chestnut his props in the media and then promptly destroyed him when it mattered most.  That killer instinct is what seperates the greats from the legends and Kabayashi is a legend.  

53 (and three quarter) hot dogs in 12 minutes.  Takeru, you are the man!
