    Just watching a documentary on Muhammad Ali. He must be the greatest sportsmen of all time. The only other candidate i can think of would be Lance Armstrong.

    I tend to favour Ali though, both are might fine sportspeople.

    Who do you think is the greatest?

    Just because I'm a cricket nut, I'd say Donald Bradman but Ali is definitely up there as number one.

    No im a cricket nut too. But what a lot of people fail to remember was. During his time of dominance all the bowlers were part timers. And everyone was specializing in batting.

    I agree that Ali is the greatest sportsman of all time. My second choice would be Michael Jordan. I love basketball.

    Doesn't excuse his/the best batting average of 99.98 or something per game. He got 99 on his last match ><"
