Not today's programs. For one to be considered an all-time great in football or baseball, they are considered past their prime, and no way to competeing in today's game. Do you really think that Walter Payton could sustain the type hits given out by today's football players? Not i think not.. just roll out the stretcher.. When I think of the all-time great programs, I think of DeepBlue, DeepThought, Cray-Blitz, Sargon, GNUChess, MChess, Genius, and the list goes on. Todays programs have only proven that they are better than the others due to hardware, and the programming knowledge learned from the earlier programs. Boxing would have been no where if it were not for the likes of Ali, Foreman, Chavez, and Fraizer. Don't you agree?
