I found this graph on the Cycling Hall of Fame Website and thought it was interesting: http://www.cyclinghalloffame.com/riders/alltime25graph.asp
Based on their system, Merckx has more points from just one day races than almost anybody has from grand tours and one day races combined.
The guy that surprises me the most is Coppi. I knew he was great. But, I didn't think he would rate very high on a point system given that most of his career was spent cutting hair in a POW camp.
