I wouldn't go that far but the free and fly's would be all out war if you put them both in their prime.

Phelps is better because he is all-around better and it's proven. The dominance in the 200 IM doesn't lie.

100 Free Phelps/Spitz toss-up
200 Free Phelps easily

100 Fly Spitz slight favorite (Speed)
200 Fly Phelps canes Spitz repeatedly

That's about it for Spitz.

Back, Breast, IM he gets beat like a rented mule.
