I consider Michael Phelps to be a greater athlete than Usain Bolt. Mostly because Phelps has won gold medals in multiple swimming styles at multiple distances in four different Olympics.

I consider Bolt better because he just wins. And he wins inbetween Olympics. It’s not Bolt’s fault track doesn’t have 4 different versions of every race. Phelps is a great swimmer when America is paying attention, but those other 3 years he’s not generally very good. Bolt never steps on a track without being prepared to win going away.
