Great choices to start.

I am saying Jerry Rice. And until he started losing play time one of the most classiest.

Armstrong is a strong case though. I mean all that cancer and still becoming an incredible legend in such a grueling sport!!!

I am changing my vote to Lance. Because of the above and also he really pissed the frogs off.

A two-fer.

Sonja Henie overcame polio and went on the win the 100, 200, 4x100 meters in the Olympics.

There was this girl I saw once at a donkey show in Tijuana...

Perhaps I've said too much.

Talk about apples and oranges...Hard to identify one "best" athlete of all time. Have to be a multiple skills/achievement athlete...Maybe Bruce Jenner. Not a popular choice, I'm sure, but lots of skills...and decathletes are arguably the most gifted of all.

Tough one, though. All of the choices here have some merit, except for Barry Bonds. He may be the best "chemically gifted" athlete of all time.

Gretzky. Just look up the stats. then you will agree.
A lot of players had better stats than Jordan.
