IMO you have to play two sports at its highest level (professionally) and be somewhat competent to even be considered in the running for GREATEST ATHLETE OF ALL TIME.

Its between Bo Jackson and Deon Sanders.

i agree, and last time this was asked me and someone else said Max Woosnam. And his achievements were pretty much ignored.



Amongst his achievements was winning an Olympic gold and silver at the 1920 Summer Olympics, winning the doubles at Wimbledon, compiling a 147 break in Snooker, making a century at Lord's Cricket Ground, captaining the British Davis Cup team, captaining Manchester City F.C. finishing ultimately runners-up for the Football League Championship in 1920–21 and captaining the England national football team.

He once defeated actor and film director Charlie Chaplin at table tennis playing with a butter knife instead of a bat.

Whilst he was never a professional, be competed with and against professionals as an amateur. He captained a professional football team while he was an amateur.

Yep.
