I'll say Michael Jordan only because that dude's will to win was amazing. I don't think you can watch basketball and get any real idea of how a dude fights but MJ's drive makes me think he could have done well in any sport he was driven to do well in. People give him **** for his baseball but if you compare him to others at his experience he was exceptional in that sport too.
That's it for me. I got three Kickboxers and the BBall GOAT.
Oh, Semmy too.

Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson fellow NFL contemporaries all post much higher # than Jordan with Bo smoking Deion who couldn't match Bo Power stats.
Jordan spent a lifetime and million$ trying to perfect his golf game, and at the time of my book, top three Celebrity tour athletes were #1 MLB pitcher Rick Rhoden, #2 NFL punter Craig Hentrich, with Big Mac McGwire #3 and Jordan #35. Penny Hardaway the first BB player was #22.
Jordan prima donna the opposing players would part the Red Sea so he could have a clear path to the basket where a single pinky might draw the 3 point foul shot. Wilt coulda grabbed him up wif one hand and dribbled a basketball down court faster than the opposition and slam dunked his noggin that brings down the whole backboard...yer welcome.
