Who do you think is the best athlete in history?

[pltelles]

In individual sports my photo is of Michael Phelps, man was a monster.
In team sports, Tom Brady, the guy is dominant in a very competitive league.

NOTE: Maradona does not tie a Pelé boot.

Nadia Comăneci

She was a very complete athlete , obtaining seven maximum scores ( 10 ) and gold medals in the disciplines of uneven bars and balance beam, as well as in the individual general. She was an excellent athlete and the best gymnast in history who inspired many gymnasts of that time and who is still a living legend.

I think it depends on the sport you choose, in my case I like soccer so I consider Ronaldo Nazario from brazil to be the best athlete

 

[freedom4L]

Usain Bolt

 

[souza155]

I find it almost impossible to define an athlete as the best, because we have several sports, I think I could open a topic with the best athlete by sport.

 

[volkzord]

Im brazilian, and I have a moral duty to say Pele. But Michael Phelps is the best athlete in history by far.

Ronnie O'Sullivan. Already a seven-time world champion.

 

[gassstation]

There is no best athlete, there are the best in their field. It is impossible to single out one, because each is unique in its own way.

 

[Kinalha]

For me, at his fields...

Michael Phelps
Michael Jordan
Novak Djokovic
Lionel Messi
Usain Bolt

For me, it's actually Roger Federer as well. So enchanting and aesthetic, just sugar for the eyes to watch him. He makes it look so easy.

 

[Gritz18]

I am a big fan of football and I could name Maradona or Messi. I also have admiration for Jordan or Tom Brady. But I think the best sports athlete I ever saw is Roger Federer.

Iran Ferreira (The Mason's Glove)

 

[blata8ruga]

It is tough to judge because each sport is different. So, I am going to say Bo Jackson as an all-around athlete. I would also choose Wayne Gretzky who owns almost all the records in the NHL and I would say Michael Jordan who is the greatest basketball athlete ever.

 

[Rui Ferreira]

This is my list by sport
Football: Pele and Zico
Swimming: Michael Phelps
Basketball: Michael Jordan
Tennis: Roger Federer
Athletics: Usain Bolt

There are a lot of fascinated players in the last years and everybody have something special. but when i have to say one, then Cristiano Ronaldo.
I think nobody is such a completed player as he. a role model for every athlete

Michael Jordan in Basketball and Klitschko in Boxing were amazing in there sports.
