    You right about that F1, it is a grueling and demanding sport. You have to be top flight mentally and physically and have the heart of a gunslinger.

    How is he only 17th? He has dominated since 1996, beating guys bigger than him and looking like a lightening bolt at 130 and 135 which are his prime weights. Stayed on till 40, still faster and sharper than the young guys.
    Also, he is the most dedicated athlete - Cristiano Ronaldo level.

    Because he is not even the best in boxing, plus there are other athletes that are dominant on their sports, soccer, tennis, golf, motor sport, basketball, rugby, baseball, cricket not to mention countless of Olympian man and women. Floyd is lucky even to be mentioned at all.

    Jenson Button does Iron man triathlons ..... but yeah they aint athletes not in the slightest. A fat man couldnt even fit in a F1 car let alone be competitive, your average joe if he tried to run an F1 car would have to stop within a few laps cos his/her neck would be gone due to the G Force. Before you even think about absorbing every bump on the track. Naivety guys .....

    I looked up the list, they didn't even rank the #1 player of the world's most popular sport (that player is Cristiano Ronaldo), yet they have Mia Hamm on their list, who competed in absolute irrelevant women's soccer, probably because she is American. ESPN is a complete and utter joke.

    ESPN's lists are so damn casual even their Greatest Boxers list was a joke.
