I give the nod to Phelps by a hair.
Bolt is impressive in the way he's absolutely shattering world records. But I also would like to see him win the 400 before I put him in the class with Phelps.
And whoever said "both are built flawlessly for their sport" isn't very bright. Bolt is freakishly tall and slender for a sprinter. The best sprinters in the world are traditionally 5'8-6'1. A far cry from his 6'5 frame.
