Now you're accepting that if it's not a sports person or sport you follow, there may well be big/bigger sports persons you just don't know of. Progress!

Before you inferred they can't have been big enough, simply because you hadn't heard of them.

I had heard of the one he mentioned, but there's others in thread I hadn't. I'm open enough to accept that, we can't know it all afterall.

I have never watched a soccer game, but i know who pele, beckham, etc are......

Henry Armstrong was a great fighter, but i dont expect people to know him like they know joe louis

If you go by fame

boxing- ali
baseball- bath ruth
basketball- jordan
soccer- pele
hockey- wayne gretzky
wrestling- hulk hogan

horrible list, jack nickaluas has 18 majors so schools woods, soccer pele???

Pele no where near Christiano Ronaldo or Messi standard and is behind maradonna and zidane.

Learn your sports, and WLADIMOR KLITSCKO would own Ali and Sugar Robinson better than Ali.

And coincidentally those names are all much later than the era of the name previously mentioned. What's so difficult for you to fathom you can't know it all?

There's reasons why some people haven't heard of some big sports persons. It's because it's sports they don't follow so much, era's they weren't around or know less about, or simply the fact you can't know every big name in every sport, especially some whom aren't in the media as much decades on for you to hear about.

The attitude of I haven't heard of them so they are simply not big, gives off you think yourself as the all informed bible of sports or something.
