impossible. totally different sports and more importantly ... different eras.

 

[Ticotaco]

Isn't that what makes it interesting? Different eras, different sports but All Arguably the Best?

Ruth BY FAR. Totally dominated his sport. Hit more Homers than teams did. Wilt would be a better Basketball Rep than MJ.
Ali
MJ

Ruth was a fat tub of lard who wouldn't cut it in today's baseball.

Muhammad Ali was overrated but a great character. Even boxing experts say he wasn't the best.

Jordan was the best. He played in a tough era and completely dominated everyone.

Jordan, Ali, Ruth

1. Jordan could hit a baseball and was one of the greatest NBA players of all time
2. Ali: never saw him do anything outside of the ring.
3. Ruth could had great hand-eye coordination but I doubt he could shoot a jumper or anything else for that matter.

You're not really dumb enough to think that Ruth was fat his whole career, are you?

Zit, he was fat. Let's face it. The guy was out of shape.

Babe Ruth played most of his career with a 42 waist. I'm not a doctor, but I wouldn't say that's being in shape.

 

[Bourn]

I would say Ali or Ruth were the biggest/best. All 3 dominated their sport. Who knows.

Ali was fat and out of shape in later fights in his career too.

People even wrote cartoons to make fun of his fat belly:

Gretzky dominated his sport more than anyone outside of maybe Ruth.

Agree 10000% Ali was not even close of being the greatest of all time - He was the greatest talker by far, but no boxer.

Funny that people can say something a million times and people actually start to believe it,
