I personally love Jonathan Edwards and as far as I'm concerned he's one of the greatest natural talents you'll ever find in athletics. His 1995 world record still stands, he has 6 of the top 11 triple jumps ever recorded and also holds the record for the longest wind assisted jump. He's just a phenomenal jumper. You watch triple jumpers now and they seem so heavy footed, Edwards floated.

I don't think you'd need much of an argument to prove that he's not the best but I don't care, he's one of my favourites.
