That's a great question and I am surprised that no one has answered.  It's interesting to think of an athlete in an competitve sport, like hockey or basketball which I think are the two toughest or a non competitve sport, like decathlon which could be but I wouldn't think or it or even MMA.  No question that golf is very tough but someone who hits 1000 balls a day with the proper coaching could be a scratch golfer.  I was always on the Tiger bandwagon because he was so much better than everyone else.

I had a roommate in college that was great in all solo sports.  He once threw 29 straight strikes in bowling in practice.  He once made 75 straight free throws.  He was great in all video games.  He was great in foosball.  However you put in on a team sport and he was less than average.

I think there is a big difference between greatest athlete and hardest sport to play.  For instance you have to skate to play hockey, but if you do it since you were 3 years old, it's just like walking so it's not hard.
