they’re the best of the best
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
most dominant male athletes of all time
fantastic opening boy to global tennis
for this list we’ve chosen different
sports and have ranked the top male
athletes in each based on a mix of
personal statistics and team performance
as an added twist we’ve outlined the two
runners-up who gave the top guys in
their respective sports a run for their
money number 10
auto racing Richard Petty Michael
Schumacher Juan Manuel Fangio Petty’s
been called the king thanks to his seven
NASCAR championship and Daytona 500 wins
Eddie going for the 200th victory of his
illustrious career and Schumacher stats
are impressive too he boasts the most
Formula one championships race victories
and more but it’s one Manuel Fangio
who’s shown he’s the master by winning
the f1 world drivers championship five
times with style Grace and skill like no
one else
number nine golf Arnold Palmer
Tiger Woods Jack Nicklaus Palmer helped
popularize golf with his charismatic TV
persona and multiple PGA and Champions
Tour wins and when it comes to the 21st
century
no golfer has been number one more than
Tiger there it is
but it’s Jack Nicholas’s accomplishments
including 18 major championships that
put him here it’s as consistent hitting
driving skills and smooth distance
control with his irons that helped him
stand out as the cream of the crop and
the bear is on the prowl number eight
tennis Pete Sampras Rafael Nadal Roger
Federer Sampras may have been world
number one before the other two came to
play history and it’s true Nadal is an
Olympic gold medalist who’s building a
rep as the king of clay but we wouldn’t
have the golden era of men’s tennis
without Federer not only did the Swiss
player hold Tennessee’s top spot for
four years and 29 weeks straight but
he’s also nabbed 17 Grand Slam singles
titles I just look at the skip from
fitara
it’s gotta bounce twice know he’s got it
number 7 boxing
Sugar Ray Robinson Joe Lewis Muhammad
Ali
pound for pound there aren’t many
welterweight and middleweight champ that
come to mind other than Sugar Ray
Robinson meanwhile Joe Louis’s hard work
and 11 year 10 month stint as
heavyweight champion made him one of
America’s first black heroes
however Ali’s boxing skills power and
triumphs over every top heavyweight
during the sports Golden Age are what
make him the greatest look at me now
don’t tell me that in a perfect specimen
of a man number six
baseball Mickey Mantle Willie Mays Babe
Ruth when it comes to baseball it’s hard
to overlook Mickey seven World Series
championships three American League MVP
wins and his 1956 Triple Crown victory
or Willie’s 1954 World Series win and
two MLB MVP titles but our pick is the
seven-time World Series champ the
Bambino
known for his power-hitting Babe Ruth
still holds one of baseball’s highest
batting averages number five American
football Tom Brady Jim Brown Jerry Rice
a quarterback running back and wide
receiver compete for our American
football title with three Super Bowl
rings and domination over the Pats
Brady’s personal and team
accomplishments give the rest a run for
their money and while Jim Brown’s
achievements in the pre Super Bowl era
often earn him top honors we’re picking
one of the NFL’s overall greats with
some of the toughest records to break an
American football history Jerry Rice
wins it all touchdown 49ers highway 101
belongs to Jerry Rice Nick exit Hall of
Fame number four wild card Hussein bolts
sprinting Sachin Tendulkar cricket
Michael Phelps swimming for this entry
we’re mixing and matching different
sports and picking one athlete among the
three based on his overall athleticism
Usain Bolt has emerged as one of the
world’s leading sprinters your side both
Staubach tight tight silica while Sachin
Tendulkar’s numerous one-day
international awards and cricket batting
records earned him a mention is that
ever seen but Michael Phelps supremacy
in the water throughout multiple Olympic
Games and his 18 gold medals ultimately
seal the deal for us one of these
Beijing games number three football
Leonel Messi Diego Maradona Pele Messi’s
record-setting individual stats and club
performance with FC Barcelona earned him
high rankings while Maradona is
domination on the pitch and 1986 World
Cup heroics get him oh so close to the
top but it’s the King Pele who gets our
vote thanks to his multiple World Cup
victories goal scoring techniques and
overall unbeatable football skills
number two basketball Kobe Bryant Bill
Russell Michael Jordan for MBA picks
we’ve got Kobe a four-time all-star MVP
award winner whose impressive career
stats earned him a seat at the table
then there’s Bill Russell who was the
best offensive player of his era and
made history by winning 11 championships
but it should come as no surprise that
Jordan with his seemingly unending list
of accolades is the one who slam dunked
his way into our hearts look at the air
look at the Hang Time look at the flying
motion number one hockey Bobby Orr Mario
Lemieux Wayne Gretzky or used speed to
transform the role of the defenseman
while Lumias playmaking skills earned
him praise throughout his career
deservingly they’re both considered some
of hockey’s greatest players but it’s
Wayne Gretzky whose personal stats will
never be tied or broken as the NHL’s
leading point scorer the great one and
his dozens of regular season playoff and
all-star records make him our most
dominant athlete ever in any sport
