Just now, the foreign media Global Statistics ranked a list of the top 100 athletes in history. After comparing the superstars in various fields of sports, the first one is the basketball god Michael Jordan. Jordan is recognized as the first person in history in basketball, and his status remains unshakable to this day. Not only did his influence reach its peak when he was playing, but after Jordan retired, the personal brand created by Nike for him became even more popular around the world.

It can be said that Jordan is qualified to sit at the top of the list in terms of overall strength, honor, and influence. Ranked 2nd is the boxing champion Muhammad Ali. Objectively speaking, Ali's influence as a heavyweight boxing champion is greater than his achievements in his career. Countless boxing superstars regard Ali as their idol, which is enough to reflect his ability. Ranked third is Argentinian football king Messi. As the first person in the history of the world's first sport, it is not surprising that Messi appears in the top three positions.

Especially after he won the World Cup in Qatar, Messi's individual team honors and personal honors ranked first in history. It is no exaggeration to say that Messi can be recognized by the industry as a superstar in the field of team sports, which is not easy in itself. Well deserved to be ranked third. Ranked 4th is the swimming superstar Phelps. Feiyu has made great achievements in several Olympic Games in his career. It can be said that he won the gold and silver medals with ease. However, in recent years, Phelps has been involved in doubts about doping off the court, which has somewhat affected his historical status. Many sports fans even believe that Phelps should not be in the top five.

Ranked fifth is Bolt, the GOAT in sprinting. When it comes to sprinting, no one's name can be placed before Bolt, the holder of the historical records in the 100-meter and 200-meter fields. If there is more or less GOAT controversy in other fields, then in the field of sprinting, Bolt is the only choice for all sports fans. But after all, the influence of the 100-meter field is smaller than that of other sports fields, so it is not easy for Bolt to rank fifth.

Ranked 6th is Babe Ruth in baseball. I believe many fans will be unfamiliar with him. But in fact, Babe Ruth's career is worthy of this position in terms of personal achievements and championship trophies. Ranked 7th is tennis superstar Federer. As one of the three giants in tennis, Federer has always been the number one player in tennis in the hearts of many fans. Moreover, in the mainstream sports world of North America, it seems that more fans recognize him than Nadal and Dvikovich. This is undoubtedly a very exaggeration.

Ranked 8th is basketball superstar LeBron James. Perhaps James cannot be compared with Jordan in terms of historical status. But his achievements are already dazzling enough. Four NBA championships, the all-time scoring champion, a long peak period and strong physical fitness are all the reasons why James can rank second in the basketball world. After he retires in the future, his status in the sports world may be improved, and he deserves to be ranked eighth. Ranked 9th is heavyweight boxing champion Tyson. Tyson and Ali are in a similar situation, both have enough gold belt titles. At the same time, he also dominated the boxing world for a period of time. To this day, Tyson is still the idol of many boxing fans, which is enough to reflect his influence.

Ranked 10th is Jesse Owens, an absolute legend in the field of track and field, as a pioneer in the field of running. The symbolic significance of Owens is huge, which is the key to his being ranked in the top 10. In addition, except Messi can be ranked among the top 10 in sports. Other superstars in football, such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Pele, are ranked 14th and 18th respectively. It can be seen that the media does not pay much attention to the football field. What do you think of this list?
