It is quite amusing to me how everyone seems to be trash talking Phelps (and Thorpe a bit) as if they were trash talking each other.
I saw several interviews with both and neither one of them was anything but respectful to the other when asked about them. Phelps has said several times that Thorpe is "the man" (that is an actual quote) and Thorpe has said nothing that I have heard that was anything other than respect for Phelps' talent.
Neither one of them is what Mark Spitz was in 1972, and frankly, no one will likely ever be able to match that performance: 7 races, 7 gold medals, 7 world records.

indeed too many specialists, makes it a bit hard for the all-arounders.
