Who do you think is the greatest sportsman of all time?
Perhaps one of these or someone else?
Muhammed Ali - pure natural talent with a flair in and out of the ring.
Pele - perhaps the greatest footballer ever - he had feet of magic and an unrivalled career.
I could go on and on but i just need to say my personal choice and i think many of you may agree. It has to be the mercurial Michael Jordan. This man in my opinion is the most talented athlete i have ever seen. I consider it a real honour that i have had the pleasure of actually watching him play - i got tickets to see the Bulls when i was on holiday many years ago, and it's a moment i'll never forget.
So what about all you lot?

Diego maradona. was a star in a average argentina squad that won the world cup. one the world cup single HANDed. took on the england team single HANDed. he was the most gifted footballer to ever walk the planet.
I think this is too hard to just pick one great sportsman. There are to many great ones that play different sports and a list of the best could go on and on. I guess in my view to be great you have to be very talented at the sport you play, play it because you love it not because you get paid alot and also be a good person and appreciate your fans. As someone said before Ally McCoist, he was great for where he played, he achieved alot and always had time to stick around and talk with fans. I don't think he was the greatest though. I agree that all the people mentioned before could be, I just find it too hard to name one as there are so many.

I would have to say Carl Lewis. This man is a true great with his nine Olympic golds to prove it. That doesn't happen on the track very often and thats leaving out the eight world titles and those world records that he achieved.
In 84 he emulated the four gold medals of Jesse Owens in one olympics but that was nevere in his mind. Lewis is and was his own his own runner, the reason he won four;
"The reason I did four medals was because i had done three the year before and I thought to do three again would be boring" Carl Lewis.
His results and simple will to better himself speak for themselves as why carl Lewis is the most succesful track and field athlete of all time and a real contender for best sportsman ever.

I am going to say Ally McCoist. Not the greatest footballer of all time but Rangers top scorer ever. With Mark Hately they were almost invincible, scoring buckets of goals every season. Also highly capped for Scotland he is one of the greatest strikers of recent years. If he had moved to Italy or Spain then he could have earned so much money. He is also a really nice guy to boot.
Mohammed Ali.
The single greatest sportsman to ever walk this planet.
An amazing boxer, nobody else has ever come close or ever will for his style, speed and pure showmanship.
His stance over America's involvement with Vietnam, refusing to be drafted saying "Ain't no Vietcong ever called me ni**er" that cost him his title belt, yet he still refused to compromise his beliefs. His following of Malcom X, the supporting of black rights in an age where lynchings, murder and intimidation were the norm.
And, despite his illness today, millions all over the world still think he's the greatest.
Always has been, always will be.

I'd plump for Daley Thompson, in that not only was he a great all round decathlete, he was also very 'sporting', an important quality that seems to be sadly lacking in many of today's sportsmen and sportswomen.
Mind you, I'm being completely biased here because I live in Britian and Daley was British.
The late Florence Griffiths-Joyner was another of my favourites in terms of her achievements on the track.
