    No disrespect to Hamed but he does n't even come close.

    Jim Corbett seems to have been all things to all men.

    When he and his managers were put on trial after the Sharkey fight, they let him do the talking.

    I think that Corbett and Johnson are candidates, but their qualities were not recorded on film.

    Max Baer should be mentioned.

    Muhammad Ali hands down.

    Ali was widely considered to be the most recognizable face on earth who reach exceeded heads of state and even Elvis Presley. Loved and hated he was a prominent face and voice of the anti war and the civil rights movement in both America and the World and had audiences with probably more world leaders than any other celebrity.
    Ali was voted “Sportsman of the Century” by Sports Illustrated and “Sports Personality of the Century” by BBC and was credited with successfully negotiating the release of hostages being held by Sadam Hussein.

    This is even a question?
    Muhammad Ali was in one point, the most famous person alive.
    He has been selected in the most influential people of all time.
    Did you see the reaction of the media after is death?, not many persons had that kind of love and media reception after their passing.
