Each can be argued to have others who have surpassed at least some of their accomplishments, but they all had a draw that got people interested in their field due to their individual performance.

Zenyatta belongs in that category, even if she was defeated, just as Muhammad Ali had lost some fights and titles, and Mario Andretti did not win every race he was in.

Because they routinely challenged the best in their sports.
