Attention seeking, winding up and the cuntathlon would be my guess

Michael Schumacher

Schumacher is overrated. He competed in one of the weakest era in the sport's history. His teammates were usually in a supporting role, and were never that good anyway. Overall, F1 was a bit of a joke from 1995-2002.

If you talk to the people who have worked with both Alonso and Schumacher, almost all of them will tell you that Alonso is the better talent. Likewise, few in the paddock rate Schumacher on par with Senna, Prost, Moss, Fangio, etc.

I wouldn't have jockeys or drivers etc in because Its not a level playing field of comparison but if you did it would be Senna.
Any list of this sort that doesn't contain ali is plain stupid.

That's fair.

I only comment on sports I know about. I can't really rate Cricketers or Jockeys. However, Ali is a curious omission. He's made most lists that I have seen.

[M H]

Hardly an objective topic as we'll all vote with hearts first and heads later which is why Ali will be on most lists. We all ignore his latter years and fights he should never have taken.

Pele anyone?

[Randall]

Ali, Pele and Bradman are givens, I'd want to include Warne as well.

[Randall]

Usain bolt or Micheal Johnson or even Carl Lewis.

[Wolflanternbumbag]

Brian Lara, Tendulkar, Federer

[Randall]

Tendulkar is a good shout but he wasn't as good as Bradman who is unavoidably in the list.

[Randall]

Ali
Pele
Bradman
Bolt
Nicklaus
Laver
Phelps
Serena Williams
Warne
Micheal johnson

[D & B]

Another shocking list.....

[Randall]

Another shocking list.....

Jim Thorpe
Pete Rose
Gordie Howe
Michael Jordan
John McEnroe
Richard Petty
Steve Mizerak
Jim Brown

[LOWTOWER]

Botham

Botham

As brilliant as he was was he actually the best all rounder of his era?
