Greatest Sportsman of All Time
Even if Nadal ends up winning more slams, he will never have the same class and unique appeal as Federer - Nadal is a great guy and sportsman, but he looks like Rambo - Federer represents grace and beauty.
An inspiring person who abides by rules of the game as well as being an outstanding performer and introducing a new technique and elegance to the game of tennis.
Roger is a legend. It's unique what he shows on the court. His tennis is art and beside this he is a classy person.
The Tennis king! Nobody will come close to him, except maybe Rafael Nadal, that's pretty much it
Pele is without a doubt the greatest Soccer player of all time! He made Brazil what it is today, and gave it a great reputation
How is Maradona at number one?! Pele is the GOAT! He was the FIFA Player of the Century and the IOC Athlete of the Century!
The greatest soccer player of all time, a true sportsman and a legend, a fair player!
Pele is the greatest soccer player to set foot on the planet!
More expectations and pressure than anyone has ever faced in the history of sports. 1.2 billion people look out at him every time he goes out to play.
You can't find any other sportsman who embarked on the international stage at an age of 16 and performed with utmost consistency for next 24 years.
Held almost every batting record when he retired. May be a record of having most number of records as well.
I don't think that any other sportsperson in the history has ever been given the status of god, as he is generally called by almost every cricket fan and many cricket greats - The god of cricket.
Most importantly, even after such a huge success he didn't let it get to his head. One of the humblest person you could ever imagine.
Probably the most humble celebrity you will meet in your life...it didn't matter who india played in the past 24 years because I knew that we had the best player in the world and everyone where scared to face him...surely going to miss him
The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best There Ever Will Be... Its an honor to add this guy to any list... but common--ponting is in the list and sachin's not?
I dunno why he is placed so dwn the order... below ricky ponting shucks... if india wud hve been a developed country his name wud hve been right on top
Bruce Lee and Mohummid Ali were the greatest. As they transcended sport with their greatness, philosophies, leadership and personality.
Father of Mixed Martial Arts. Pioner of the Martial Arts movie genre.A man who changed the world!
Can you name any sportsman who was statistically twice as good as every single other major player of the sport? No? Well, I give you Sir Don Bradman. Dude's batting average holds the record at 99.94. To put that in perspective, the second runner-up is at 61.87. This is one dumbass list. I am Indian and even I admit that Bradman should be way above Sachin Tendulkar.
Bradman was a freak of nature. His statistics are so way in excess of his peers that he has to be considered the greatest sportsman of all time.
He is the greatest Cricketer and Batsman of all time and he has the stats to prove it. Had an average of 99.94 runs in 52 test matches.
Duh. Bradman's has been voted the best by professional people as the best by far. He is way better than the rest
Michael Jordan is the greatest of the greats, nobody will reach him in basketball and he always remained dominant in what he done. Michael Jordan is more successful than any athlete on this list.
Definitely has to be the greatest sportsman of all time.
GREAT GUY
GREAT PLAYER
AND REACHED LEGENDARY STATUS IN NO TIME
Jordan is a true legend of Sport, without doubt the most inspirational player of all time and truly greatest athlete in history
Definitely the greatest sportsman in the world, you can't match him in what he does
If you don't know how great he is please use wikipedia..
Tiger woods is by far the greatest sportsman of his time! and always ahead of the competition, think about it? Basketball, MJ had to train for, Muhammad Ali had to train, maybe Roger Federer comes in the competition, but Tiger Woods, Golf came very natural to him, he was playing golf at a professional like level at the age of 3! Yep that's right as an infant.
The greatest Golfer of all time! not world number 1 at the moment because of all this mistress crap! that shouldn't get in the way of his playing ability, he was playing golf at three years old for Christ's sake! Plus he is definitely a very good athlete and no one will ever come close to his ability, absolutely with great pride is the G. O. A. T.
the GOAT of Golfing! Tiger woods has had some personal issues but that should in no way get in the way of his playing ability. He will thump any Golfer in a Tour. Plus has won multiple P. G. A. 's
The greatest Golfer ever to walk the planet! And always will be! There will never be a golfer better than that of Tiger Woods, the legend and the champion!
The G.O.A. T in terms of sport, nobody can even compare with the impact he had on sports. He impacted black movement, the Vietnam war ^^ Islam; not to mention the upsets he caused in boxing beating Sonny. Oh and BBC also ironically (ironic becuase Indians have voted for Tendulkar) created an article saying he is the best and tendulkar is not. I'm with Mandela, that simply has to be Ali, the greatest great there has ever been and probably ever will be.
His personality charisma pretty much dominated the sporting world. Greatest of all time. Surprised to see so many picked Tendulkar above him, especially since Ali's personality was the greatest in sporting history
Conquered the boxing world made him great, whilst also acting and speaking about the wider world he saw around him, equals the greatest
Muhammad Ali was incredible in his time, who the hell is Sachin Tendulkar? Some cricketer, this guy is a legend
He is one of the greatest sportsman of this generation after Usain Bolt and Roger Federer, when he will retire from football he can be the greatest sports person of all time, He is very complete, he has done everything in football except this he is also a very good game player, play maker. I am pleased that you liked my comment.
Sachin Tendulkar at no. 1 spot. The reason is that he is from India, acountry with population of over one billion and will obviously get all the votes of Indians.
Widely regarded as the greatest, most complete football player ever in the most widely played sport. Number 1.
He is awesome the reason is that he found another way to dribble.
Superb control on 2 wheels on any surface and any weather. A genuine racer, drives on the edge putting his life on the line every time in practice, qualifying and racing.
9 world titles and, in 2015, the oldest racer in the grid and leading the championship.
Senna was the definition of geniality.
He represents victory, because that is what he sought. Not the second or third place. He drove the cars beyond their limits. He exhausted all his physical forces and challenged his own death for victory, and when death got to him he was in first place! Victory was the only option and he achieved it.
He was honest, just, but relentless! He represented this as no one in the sport world.
He did not die. He crossed the finish line before us all.
The greatest F1 driver of all time, and also the greatest sportsman of all time!
I feel he is one of the greatest footballer and really handsome athlete now... the way he plays and goals they are really amazing
He is underrated
The greatest hockey legend in history! He made a big impact on Hockey like MJ for basketball, Tiger Woods for Golf, Pele and Ronaldo for Soccer and Muhammad Ali for boxing! This man is a legendary hall of famer!
The greatest hockey player of all time! You will always hear people say this! The G.O.A.T.!
The greatest Hockey player of all time! Canadians know how to get it done!
greatest legend in history! so good at what he does like most canadians
The best cricketer of the world... Charismatic, handsome, a true leader and the fighter with the strongest will...
Greatest cricketing all-rounder of all times!
Best wrestler ever
The man never lost. His record speaks for itself. simply the best. Ali was good but better with his mouth than his fists.
