After all the adversity and lack of an offense, my pick is still Brett Favre. If he had the offense of the Colts, he'd throw 100 td's a year! 2nd place-Hulk Hogan, to achieve his level of fitness at his age without using steroids is amazing. 3rd-Sagwa, the chinese siamese cat, of cartoon fame. she always is winning races versus the alley cats in her provence.
I think you should ask all the athletes themselves. There would be a 3-way tie at #1: Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and Kobe Bryant. In reality, they are nowhere near the top 10.
I think the Spinneys would take the top three spots hands down.
Garry Kasparov.
The teenage mutant ninja turtles, look at that athleticism dodging bullets?
dan or dave???
This is usually a difficult topic with many possible answers, but currently, it's a blowout.
Easily, the most dominant athlete in sports right now is Roger Federer.
Jackie Joyner Kersee: many events over many days. 'Nuff said.
what the hell? Brett Farve?Athlete? He may be a athlete but nothing he does on the field shows that he is an athlete. He is a great QB but he would be very low on the list for athletes.
Randy Moss, SoCon Indoor Track and Field Freshman of the year, not sure what year. Guy had NO IDEA what he was doing, coach showed him how to use blocks. He had on MU sweats, jogged a couple of laps to warm up. Got in the blocks and won the 60. Guy is a FREAK OF NATURE. One of the most gifted athletes I have ever seen. High Jump, long jump, whatever. If he had the discipline, he could have been a great decathlete. (Coming from an ex-dec). But I am sure all the training would have disrupted his weed tokin'
Dale Earnhardt Jr, or possibly Jeff Gordon. Tony Stewart is right up there too..
LT
John Daly
Bryan Clay
I don't recall his name, but my vote would be for the guy that won the ESPN national scrabble championship over the weekend....he has to be an athlete because he was on ESPN and he can 'lay the tile' like no man.
Mark Allen.
Current or "of all time"?
Current:
Tie: Bekele and Peter Reid (triathlete)--endurance
Federer--strength/skill
Of all time:
Michael Jordan or Babe Didrickson
"Who is the World's Greatest Athlete?"Way to answer the question posed.

uh, WOW, Jesse Owens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He was so far ahead of his time it's insane!!!!!!
Even by todays standards he would be a god, anyone else agree?
Since Athletics is governed by the IAAF, and their rankings say Kenenisa Bekele is, then he's it.
But he's just a runner. The first athlete (sprinting, jumping , throwing) on their list is Ladji Doucouré.
When the "Superstars" competitions match "athletes" from differing sports against each other the T&F athletes often dominate.
