the most dominant competitor today

barry bonds or roger clemens? the new england patriots (even without putin's super bowl ring) ?
michael jordan' six championships?
lance armstrong's 6 consecutive Tour de France victories is as close as one could get in traditional sports.

i go with Takeru Kobayashi who won his 5th consecutive nathan's famous hot dog eating contest. it's not just the string of victories, but the magnitude of victory which sometimes approaching 50%.

i witnessed the spectacle on espn monday... it was a slightly disturbing but definitely compelling watch.
