The winner of a record-tying 12 Grand Slam singles titles, he has dominated modern tennis with a classic style. " Sampras is a driven, even obsessed young man who is brazenly reaching for a piece of history and doing so with the kind of physical grace and talent that comes along once in a generation, found only in the [Rod] Lavers, Michael Jordans, Joe Montanas and Wayne Gretzkys." The Brown Bomber's reign as heavyweight champ (June 1937 through March 1949) is the longest in history. "He was a dependably devastating presence in the ring who seemed capable of righting national and even international wrongs with his thunderous punches. At a time when few sports were integrated, Joe Louis made the color of his skin incidental to his performances, and brought Americans together." With a revolutionary powerful game, the Golden Bear won a record 18 major championships, including an unmatched six Masters. "He has been the best golfer to ever live, by a par-5."
