From Usain Bolt to Mike Tyson: Watch 20 of sport's most dominant performers at their very best - The Mirror

We look back at the sports stars and teams who simply couldn't be stopped when they were at their best.  We call them "The Unbeatables"...

14:03, 12 Oct 2012

Throughout sporting history there have been special competitors and teams who, for a period of time, were simply unstoppable.


They're sport's great "unbeatables", the teams, players and athletes who were just too good for the rest when they were at the peak of their powers.


Some hit the heights before crashing and burning, like "Iron" Mike Tyson, while others gained their reputation for never losing, like Arsenal's "Invincibles" of 2003-04. But what they all have in common is they were almost impossible to beat when at the top of their game.


We've looked back through the annals of sporting history and selected our favourite 20 sporting "unbeatables" for this MirrorSport picture and video special.

So why not join us as we take a trip down memory lane and enjoy some classic footage of sport's all-time greats at their very best...
