Little debate at work....who is the best sportsperson ever?

 

Thinking achievement, aura, ability etc...

 

Any suggestions? I can't see past Tiger Woods

Phil Taylor or Hulk Hogan.

Doug Mountjoy

Bradman; so far ahead of the rest

Another vote for Mountjoy from me.

Roger Federer, as he would beat Tiger Woods based on the fact he had to run around a lot and make snap decisions over an intense 2-3 hour period, whereas Woods has all the time in the world to think about his next shot and he even has someone pass him the right clubs to use - doesn't even come close

Sugar Ray Robinson

if we talking achievement, aura, ability 

 

phil taylor...and i dont even like darts

 

as an modern day icon

 

david beckham... and hes dirty, cockney-manc pretty boy

Recent history - Daley Thompson

I'll bet if Roger Federer or Daley Thompson took up Darts, they'd probably have the ability to wipe the floor with about 95% of the current practitioners within about six months...

Legacy. Achievement. Pulling power. And there were very few on the planet who hadn't heard of him - The Louisville Lip. IMO Woods and others mentioned aren't worthy.

Jesse 'The Body' Ventura.

 

For his acting in Predator, I ain't got time to bleed.

Gary Madine

Jim Thorp

 

Although I admit I'd never heard of him till 10 minutes ago when I googled world's greatest ever sportsperson.

Wayne Gretzky

frank bruno

Don Bradman

Yon Lezzer Navratilova wer'nt a bad un.

Ronnie O'Sullivan for sheer natural talent. And as a snooker fan I'm biased.

Eddie the Eagle

Michael Phelps or Steve Redgrave

Muhammad Ali and Nat Turner.
