Even though I wish death upon his daughter I would have to say Muhammed Ali.

I've got this poster of him in his prime and it says "I'm so fast that last night I turned the light off, and I was in bed before the room went dark."

I suppose I'd say Ali because not only was he the man but he also had charisma.

I'm watching a Babe Ruth film at the moment and he seems like the man, when he was out but didn't agree with it he picked up some mud from the base and threw it in the umpires face. And when this bloke tried to wind him up he said "I'm gunna hit this one down your throat so you'll stop sucking on your mothers tit for a while" I dunno if he really did those things or if it is just in the movie, but its funny as hell.

Ali because he's the best on that list who played individual sports.

Jordan was every bit the equal of Ali in basketball terms, ability, desire to win etc, but in a team sport it's so much harder to rate individual greatness.

I remember hearing such a story, when Man Utd were to play, I think it was, West Ham during Bests prime. The West Ham team were pretty upbeat before the match because Best was, for the lack of a better word, bladdered. With Best in no state to be a threat, they were looking good for victory... and Best still scored a hattrick. Quality.

That's not to say others (Pele, Di Stefano, Garrincha, Best) couldn't have though, but they all either played in outstanding teams or never played in a World Cup.

And to be fair to the Argentina 86 squad, bar Maradona, it was mediocre for an Argentina squad, but even without Maradona, they would have done alright. They wouldn't have won, Maradona certainly was the guy who won it for them, but y'know, quarters, maybe semis if they were lucky..

Romario won the World Cup for a very, very medicore Brazil side in 1994.

Hristo Stoichkov got an average Bulgaria side to the semis of the same competition.

I'd have to go with Gretzky. The guy set so many records, it's amazing.

He's probably the best all-around hockey player of all time. Socring 92 goals in one seaosn is just amazing.

Mario Lemieux would win if he hadn't been so injured in the past.

This is going to be a different answer for different countries. Americans would probably go with Ruth or Jordan, Canadians with Gretzky or Lemiuex and Europeans with the Football players

I say Jim Thorpe. As my reason for voting 'other'. The guy played pro football, baseball, basketball, won the gold medal in the pentathlon and decathlon in the Stockholm games. Stories about this guy are just amazing. He made the NFL what it is today. Thorpe started and popularized American football.

I'm disapointed that Hicham El-Guerrouj and Sebastien Coe are'nt on the list.
