Yes. In his day he kicked @ss and took names with a smile on his face and a song in his heart. He is now a multimillionaire businessman. What's more alpha than that? Some toolbox who walks around talking about what a BAMF he is?

I'd say that Mike Tyson is significantly more alpha than that

Mike Tyson was a heck of a fighter in his hey day. But that is quite a different thing than being an alpha.

Alphas are leaders, naturally control and direct situations and gatherings of men, and make things happen. Tyson? Not so much. He was more like a child in a thug's body. Not impressive as a man.

the word thug is seriously overused on this website and amongst whites. say what you want to say...not what you think will sound catchy.......

Tyson did all of those things. Especially compared to Geb. He won fights before they even started. That is control.

Jimmy Brown. He was so dominant on the field and defiantly nobody's fool off it. Nobody f**ked with Jim Brown.

2 basic rules for alpha status beside legitimately being the best:

1) Have to be fairly intelligent

2) Can't be compensating for something by taking drugs

Otherwise, I'd say Lance Armstrong

If Tyson was not a thug (remember him biting off Holyfield's ear?) then nobody is.

MORON!

2. Chuck Liddell UFC

3. Prefontaine

Arnold Schwarzenegger.

This is probably the best answer. He was the most dominant in his sport of anyone to live, slept with a ton of girls, gathered fortune and fame, crossed over to Hollywood and had great success, then got grand power as governor of California. When you consider all his life accomplishments, there are few people throughout history that can compare, let alone in sports only. Some people may have had more pop culture fame, government power, or slept with more women, but I'm not sure anyone has had a better combination of everything than he has.

Jack Johnson, the first ever black heavyweight champion of the world.

You left off the housekeeper he knocked up. What an accomplishment-at best, sexual harrassment of an employee. At worst, serial rape. Oh, and what about the ba$tard child he refused to acknowledge until the physical resemblence was too much to deny.Where's the guy who provides the definition of a real man when you need him.

I'm pretty sure that paragraph just defined "alpha male". Arnold wins. Game over. I won't be back.

I'd say Michael Jordan was one of the top alpha males in sports:

-Lead his team, at times very aggressively

-Fought during his early playoff days quite often with Detroit/New York

-ALWAYS took final shots in games

-Never backed down or apologized for behavior on court (called Reggie Miller a "chicken fighter" after losing a game)

Jordan was always the biggest man on the court when he played, although not literally...

So, you are saying that the correct answer to the OP's question would have to be one of those sumo wrestlers.

Here is a candidate:

Usain Bolt

The term alpha male comes from theories about dog packs which turned out to be incorrect. There are dominance behaviors in wolves but there is no such thing as an alpha male.

Plenty of animals in the wild do have alphas. Elephant seals, lions, gorillas, chimps, etc...

It does turn out that wolves in the wild are monogamous, which is always the only defense against having alpha males who claim a disproportionate share of the women.
