I would have to disagree that he's far from being a natural athlete, for one thing, he has unbelievable vision and hand eye coordination, as in off the charts...not to mention strength.
What does vision have to do with being athletic?? I'm not referring to being a "natural athlete" as in all the qualities necessary in "skill based" sports such as hand eye coordination. We are not talking about basketball or baseball or tennis, we ARE talking about the 100 meters here ... right ???
Agassi would not hold a candle to Sampras in the 100 meters. He would not hold a candle to ANYBODY ELSE in this poll.
This has nothing to do with his other EXCEPTIONAL qualities, I'm talking about raw athleticism...and if Agassi was a great "raw athlete" then I'm Mahatma Gandhi.
I know he was strong, that's because you can "train" strength to a much greater extent than you can train speed for example.
Being a natural athlete is not about how much you can bench, it's a unique combination of qualities (among which speed and strength DO rank high) that you are mostly born with. You can train these qualities and improve them, but a trained eye can clearly see who was "born to run fast" and who was ...not.
Agassi was ... not.
Hope you see my point.
