The best athlete ever was Sergey Bubka - pole vaulting. He broke the world record 35 time, most of those record were his own. He showed how important technique is in sport.

Where's Alex Ovechkin? Or Sydney Crosby? Some of the best hockey players on earth. Why do non Canadians always forget hockey? Bah.

Flawed competition.

Lance Armstrong?
HAHAHAHAH
He's a joke...
He heal from a cancer, and, just like that, he wins 7 Tour de France?
Come on guys, you know cyclism is not sport anymore, it's just drugs...
Michael Phelps is really impressive...
Usain Bolt too, by the way...

Oh man I forgot Usain Bolt. And TSL3 I've never heard of Alex Ovechkin. I don't pay attention to hockey.

Kobe Bryant vs Peyton Manning


Seriously? Comparing an NBA legend to a (very skilled)quarterback?

LeBron James vs Prince Fielder


A similar comparison involving another NBA great and an MLB player. Like comparing apples to oranges.

Albert Pujols vs Randy Moss


Okay, so it seems as though these comparisons seem to be between different sports. But how can a great slugger be compared with a great wide receiver? I don't know, but I think it should be a bit more like this:

Randy Moss vs Peyton Manning

Kobe Bryant vs LeBron James

Albert Pujols vs Prince Fielder

It may still not be the best comparison, but at least this time it's comparing athletes of the same sport.

Then this list is flawed. Very, very flawed.

He's the assistant captain for the Washington Capitals. Look him up.

I am the best athlete of the world
No that's not true I am just one of the best.
Also Ronaldinho after 2007 stopped playing well and at Milan is like a ghost, he is even worst than Ambrosini.

Josh Beckett should be voted more. He is a nasty pitcher... I'm not a Sox fan, but he is amazing. I also agree with Ernie15 that the polls should be athlete in sport against another athlete in that sport.

On my polls, I'd vote Peyton, LeBron, and Pujols. Here's why
- Being a quarterback is much more stressful than being a wide receiver.
- LeBron James has less experience and is still of comparable skill with Kobe.
- Would you pick Prince Fielder over Albert Pujols?
