"Who is the greatest all-around athlete in the history of the NFL, Major League Baseball, NHL, NBA, professional boxing, MMA, professional soccer, PGA, and Tennis?"
My list:
My list:
- NFL: By far ... a tie ... Jim Brown and Walter Payton
- MLB: Babe Ruth-great pitcher and a great hitter
- NHL: Gordie Howe but lots of close seconds
- NBA: Wilt Chamberlain-if he was still playing today he would be just as dominant. He was a BEAST!
- Boxing: Sugar Ray Robinson-dominant and a complete fighter
- MMA-The sport does not have the long history the other sports do but considering fighters when they were in their prime, Anderson Silva but possibly I'd vote for Demetrius Johnson
- Soccer: Not a big soccer fan here but the name that comes to mind first is the legendary Pele. I do know the legend of Diego Maradona as well.
- PGA: With Tiger Woods' recent history, who knows if he plays again and if he does how competitive he will be but it's a shame he's had the accidents and off the course issues because take that away and he would have sprinted past Jack Nicklaus's records and be known as the greatest ever. For now it's a debate between the two.
- Tennis: Has to be Roger Federer
