As CPL pointed out, the "records" weren't too meaningful. They were being broken every day in Beijing.
Better to compare Phelps to the other guys in the pool in that race.

8 guys competed between France and USA:
Jason Lezak (46.06)
Frédérick Bousquet (46.63)
Alain Bernard (46.73)
Fabien Gilot (47.05)
Garrett Weber-Gale (47.02)
Michael Phelps (47.51)
Cullen Jones (47.65)
Amaury Leveaux (47.91)

well throw out his medals and deem him overrated, it looks like he wasnt the fastest on the planet in one leg of one freaking race.
