  • lance...

  • Where is Ayrton Senna?

  • Haile Gebreselassie is the greatest athlete of all-time...

    He's dominated the most grueling of sports, distance running, for 18 years and is still at the top with no signs of slowing down. He has broken 28 world records at every distance from 2K (just over 1 mile) to marathon, indoor, outdoor track and road racing... he has broken at least one WR in 15 of the 18 years he's been elite... and remains the current marathon WR holder..

    He's outlasted about 6 different cycles of competitors..

  • and federer ..

  • Stupid , only USA guys ...

  • I'm amused that a point that Fed lost was in this. Shoulda put in the point Fed won with a running overhead 10 feet behind the baseline against roddick.

  • jordan is #1

  • no don bradman

  • weres c.ronaldo???????

  • Pele is better than him.

  • bo jackson? usain bolt? pele?

    daley thompson? jim thorpe?

    valeri liukin? karelin?

    haile gerbreselassie? carl lewis? sugar ray robinson?

  • I think Dan Gable should be on this list. He won a gold medal without even giving up a single point in wrestling.

  • arreee youu kidding me !

    TRAVIS PASTRANA - shud be in top 5 !

    if u disagree .. fuck u an google him an u'll see wat he has done for the sport .. the man isa legend

  • Ever heard of Sugar Ray Robinson?

  • No Cael Sanderson, Micheal Phelps, Jim Brown, Bo Jackson, Carl Lewis??? You think Tiger is a better athlete than these guys??? Geezzz...

  • i think you did a good job except for a couple things. you forgot one key person in the top five who should have bumped gretzky out, babe ruth. and plus tiger woods should have been ahead of wayne gretzky

  • Jim Thorpe

  • Ali is definetly number 1. I almost broke my laptop when i saw him first thinking he was number 5 on the list... woo ... Not only was he "THE GREATEST" he also showed the world what a real american is all about by resisting war and going to prison for his beliefs.

  • Micheal Phelps

  • Zidane Maradona or Pele WTF?

  • Hmm so Tiger woods is a better athlete than Jim Brown, Bo Jackson, Jim Thorpe, Willy Mays, Sugar Ray Robinson, Carl Lewis... after Ali and Jordan as far as best overall athlete is concerned... Raw athletic talent, the list is INSANE!!! BY THE WAY IF YOU CAN PLAY IT IN DRESS PANTS ITS NOT A REAL SPORT!! GOLFERS DONT EVEN SWEAT LOL! JOHN DAILY IS A PRO GOLFER AND HES A FAT BASTARD

  • every sport has fat guys. linemen in football. babe ruth in baseball. bo jackson? he was a great athlete but he's not one of the top 5 of all time.

  • david ortiz and mo vaughn are also fat bastards and they were great at a so called sport, being baseball...there are more out of shape baseball players than there are golfers...pretty pathetic if you ask me

  • That could be the dumbest thing i have ever heard!!!lololol

  • how old are you... i stated a fact and you find that funny...

    i like how you don't even refute what i said, you just say its stupid...

  • too old to be lookin at this crap on a monday my friend... But you did not state a fact..........................­. You said there are more out of shape baseball players than golfers...................... That is pretty funny, not true at all but pretty funny. and the two guys you named are primarilly DH's they dont even play the field... golf is golf its a fun game but does not require top notch shape... niether does being a DH in baseball. Dont goup golfers in with athletes in the MLB

  • ok...ryan howard, livan hernandez, joe borowski, cc sabathia, david wells, manny ramirez, sidney ponson, alfonseca, jason giambi, matt cain, bengie molina, landon powell, jack cust, jason varitek, kevin youkilis, justin masterson, brad penny, carlos delgado...all these players weigh 220 plus. i can go on....a lot of baseball players are out of shape...deny it if you want. they're still out of shape

  • tiger woods is twice the athlete than any of the people you just named. your just jealous because tiger can play his sport with a fractured knee and those people cant

  • If you can play your sport in dress pants it aint to tough! lol

  • btw michael phelps is by far the greatest atlete

  • he's not even the greatest swimmer of all time. ever heard of Mark Spitz?

  • Are u serious? Swimming is easy to tell who the greatest is look at the times phelps is faster than spitz... also has 14 gold medals so far and many more to come.

  • having more medals doesnt make u better. Robert Horry has 7 NBA championships, Michael Jordan has 6. so Horry is better?

  • Yea but if horry scores more points than jordan and annihaletes all competitiors then he would. Like i said its easy to tell whos better in swimming look at the TIMES. PHELPS IS FASTER SO HE IS BETTER. Whats hard to understand about that?

  • um, mark spitz destroyed the competition as well. he won 11 medals, 9 gold, and 7 of them in munich in 72. i realie that phelps has like 10 but spitz is still better, just like how kareem abdul jabaar has more career points and just as many championships as jordan, but jordan is still better.

  • Thats retarded dude... Swimming is an individual sport... Basketball is not. So more is better in swimming... Pretty simple. Horry didnt eve start for San Antonio... Phelps did it all by himself

  • thats not true, just because you win more medals doesnt make you better.

  • i agree with the fact its full of americans

  • full of american athletes

    good list

    but very biased

    no steve redgrave hu won 5 gold medals in one of the most physically demanding sport?

    no jason lenord who won the world cup with england, and is the most capped prop forward of all time?

    no abebe bikila the greatest marathon runner of all time?

  • Wayne Gretzky is the most dominant athlete in sports history

  • Gretzky was on the ice for the 2nd most goals scored per game for his team.

    Orr is number 1. He also was on the ice for least amount of goals scored against his team per game. No one that saw Orr play would any stats whatsoever. Gretzky was a sensational one dimentional player.

  • if you dont get the fuck out of here. Gretzky owns hockey. Orr changed the game forever for his position but lets get real. With out gretzky hockey wouldnt be where its at. One dimentional, wtf? how is this for one dimentional, if wayne never scored a goal he would still be the leader in points in the nhl just on assist alone. And he has the most goals also by far. And how many mvps does he have? HOw many assist titles does he have? What about scoring titles? This list is pretty accurate.

  • I marveled at Gretzky's offensive talents. I have never said an ill word against the Great One. As he was retiring---I noted if he had someone to pass to---he would have stayed around for 2-3 more years in NYC....... I simply stated facts. On a pergame basis----Orr was on the ice for more goals scored per game for his team. Fact. Orr was also on the ice for less goals scored per game against his team. I saw both play their entire careers.

    Orr was most dominant by far.

  • Vick doesn't even deserve to be mentioned with any of those other athletes. He is the most overrated player in the history of sports. I call it the Madden theory. Just because he is impossible to stop on Madden Football games doesn't mean he is good in real life.

  • Hey can you name one sport other than golf that Tiger can beat Vick in? I dont think you can... Football, basketball, track, baseball, soccer, anything in track and field... It just goes to show that you cant compare a golfer to an athlete as versitile as vick... i dont care if you dont like him or not

  • Lets see Vick golf 90 holes in 4 days with a partially severed acl and a fractured leg. Not to mention winning the whole tournament.

  • amen

  • Vick you mean conVICKed i hate him

  • "Whatever they do"

    C'mon now. I agree with your top three Ali74, but there are very few people in the world who haven't heard the names Gretzky, Manning and Federer. I DON'T think Michael Vick deserves to be on any list with ANY of these athletes. Other than that, good choices. You did miss Pele though.

  • Great list man. You included everyone you should. I have no complaints except that you forgot pele and maradona

  • How about Michael Johnson?

  • iain thorp was way better than phelps

  • tats ws the crapest list iv eva seen nd tat fact u ave ronaldino in there speaks ow clue less u r he ent even bst footballer nw nd u av an ice hocky player nd no pele. im a 16yr old brit nd i no paten manning is nt an all time gr8t compared 2 jon elway

  • gr8 video, cud add a few others (pele - not maradonna - not that great), no women please on the list. Golf isn't classified as a sport 'technically' speaking but doesn't deny the fact that tiger is a sportsman and is statistically better than these guys (equal with jordan and federer in some respects) according to his consistency and the fact that in 08 he hasn't lost once - and in a game like golf where u play 100+ pple - its an insult to compare him to most of these guys.

  • Tiger doesn't play people, he plays a course! Tiger is not a sportsman, he's a competitor, maybe the best competitor ever but he doesn't play a sport so the label 'sportsman' isn't applicable to him!

  • tiger doesnt play a sport?? how old r u like 5? tiger is hands down the most dominant athlete of all time.

  • ali is a miracle and lance. also they are unique sportsman specially lance armsrong when i saw him driving and pushing hard at the french toor i think he is the greatest athlete of all time beside ali but i will put lance num 1 of all time he is genius & phenomenon mentally and physically

  • very gooooooooood!

  • I don't think golf is a sport! Golfers aren't athletes! It is a game with great skill but your opponent is the course, not another competitor. Therefore Tiger should not be on the list. He is the greatest Golfer, and sublimely skilled, but has not a patch on other people in the other top 5! Golf is not a sport, thats why the International Olympic committee have always refused its entrance into the Games!

  • i think golfers are athletes because ithink the sport is categories like motor sports and mentally sports and physical sports.

  • With motor sports however, you can still out think and out drive opponents. They can drive defensively to stop you driving offensively so there's a directly competitive relationship between opponents. Thats what a sport is! Golfers compete only against the course. Victory is out of your hands no matter how well you play. You can't be forced into defeat by another competitor and I think thats why the Olympic committee refuse to acknowledge golf as a 'sport'.

  • There is no personally competitive interaction between golfers. In motor sport there is. They're all on the track together and can drive offensively or defensively. In golf it doesn't matter how well you play, whether you win or not is out of your hands if someone else plays better and there's no way of you stopping them. Thats why I think the Olympic committee refuse to allocate it a 'sport' staus. Mentally golfers are exceptional, ill grant that but Im hesitant to call it sport.

  • motor sports "athletes" dont rely on their bodies but the car they're driving. u can't call someone an athlete who moves no more than their hands and their feet every so often. an athlete has to be able to use their whole body at all times

  • I wasn't talking about motor sports performers as being athletes, I was talking about motor sports as being proper sports! They're not true athletes in a strict sense but they perform a sport! Golfers aren't athletes and don't play a 'sport'! They play a game, skillful albeit, but not a sport!

  • only federer is important!!!the best of every athlets check his video!!!!!!

  • manning shouldingt be on the same list as armstrong and phelps, you don know what an athlete is!

  • where's joe montana???

  • I guess you are an american. Cause only like federer and ronaldinho aren't americans in your collection. Hellow Number one is without a doubt Belgian. Never heard about Eddy Merckx? He's voted athlete of the past millenium or century or something.

  • pele should be in the top 5

  • what the hell due y do u have brett farve on there he sux!

  • RIDICULOUS!!! with ali,wayne,lemieux,M.J.,Federer i agree..but it seems like you must been an american retard! one of greatest and not just one have been pele,diego and so on and so on...

    only a american is so much in love with his countryman that he named wnba and american female soccer player.

    and if you mention swimmer...it is still spitz on the top not phelps baby! thats just one example. study some sports-history and not just the american.

  • Gretzky, Jordan and Woods are in the top 5 because they revolutionize there sports.

  • specially Jordan!

  • @vladulienka gretzky is canadian u fucking idiot he revolutionized the greatest sport int he world

    FUCK YOU

  • @vladulienka ok, first of all, I agree that top athletic lists should be about the pre athleticism of the players, like you, but I agree with ImpactMD, if you don't believe that jordan or gretzky were some of the most athletic people ever to leave then you have no right talking this much shit because clearly you haven't studied them enough to make a comment

  • @vladulienka i think that if you don't have a clue what you're talking about then you shouldnt talk at all... I agree that woods should be off the list, but jordan and gretzky not only revolutionized their sports, they were some of the most dominant and athletic people to ever walk this earth, yes pele should have been in, and i think usain bolt should be also, but don't think for a second that jordan and gretzky were "slathers of shit" or whatever the fuck you think they are

  • @vladulienka You're a complete dumbass. And you're a typical European snob who knows nothing about America.

  • @vladulienka Dude your fucking the stupidest person on youtube. Who cares about american football????? Last time I cheeked the Super bowl has been the Highest Rated WORLD WIDE!!! event the last 36years and counting stupid fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @vladulienka I dont think you know what athletesism is. Jordan would fuck you up he was, strong, great movement and vertical leap. PS learn to write English!

  • yeah, sampras should really be in there too.

  • you don't understand a shit....where's the romanian gymnast Nadia Comanesci? she was the greatest athlet of the world....where's Fritz, the greatest swimmer...Where's Maradonna ?

  • no sampras hey?

  • Hes in at the end.
