Who's the cockiest athlete ever?

Ali or Mayweather. Both when on top of their game thought they were untouchable. Mayweather still thinks so.

Usain Bolt

Pretty gayboy Floyd

Unquestionably Ali.

Does it really count as "cocky" when you are the best at your sport (Jordan, Bolt, etc)?

I'd say that football player Freddie Mitchell is the cockiest athlete I can remember, considering he essentially talked himself out of the NFL.

Floyd piece of sh*t Mayweather

Neon Deion

Prince Hamed Naseem

Ali

Mark Spitz

Brian Bosworth

Said Aouita

Willie Shoomaker

Khalid Skah

Rickey Henderson

Ali, obviously but in these modern times, I'd give the prize to Justin Gatlin. Banned 4 years as a drug cheat and comes back mouthing off. Has no idea on when to act humble.

How about wrestling's The Genuis?!!! He thought he was easily the smartest person on the planet - now that I think about it, maybe he was - he seemed to know everything!

My vote, too. I can still see him rolling his head back and forth, as if he's fighting to keep that ego from exploding.

That being said, I got a kick out of him. Great sprinter.

Ali- end of thread

I wouldnt say symmonds is cocky i got to talk to him after his 400 in dublin last week seemed really down to earth signed his race number for me aswell!

Marita Koch she had balls too ... allegedly

Without question, Cassius Clay. He was the first to bring the "thug mentality" to sports in the U.S.

+1

Any football player that came from the U in the late 80's/early 90's

Jeremy Wariner and Michael Johnson are two of the biggest cocky aholes I ever met!!

Bolt could be next.

Then Kobe.

And then LeBron and Wade.
