Greatest athlete ever - Choose one.

[GonzoStyle]

Jim Thorpe could have been the greatest natural athlete ever, if not for alcoholism. While he played in several professional sports. He was not a great nor even a good baseball player, he was a good football player. Naturally his medals were taken away cause of his participation in professional sports. All around Thorpe was one of the greatest natural athletes the world has ever seen.

Jim Brown was also an amazing athlete, his body was built for sport as is roy jones. These are people who were built to be sportsmen. Brown did so much with so little time, never showed any signs of weakness. Whenever the man was put down he always got up the same way with his shoulders up and head down, so people never knew if he was hurt or not. Kind of like how Mantle ran the bases, chin tucked down.

But my personal opinion still stands with Ali.
