DenreleDave:
3. Pelé Many people speculate about Pelé’s time in football and whether his statistics are accurate. In 2015, Pelé posted a tweet that stated he had scored 1,283 goals during his illustrious career. Many people debate that, but what they can't argue with is his pioneering influence on the game of football. Much of the skills, tricks, and dribbles you see on display from some of the world’s top talents today were invented by Pelé. Just look at his highlights. He set the benchmark and laid down the blueprint for future generations to follow. And whatever about his goal tally, try arguing with his record of three World Cups.

Yeah! Edison Arantes Di Nacimento - The legendary Pele of the 1960-70s football.

Rahkman:

This is a discretionary list.
Sport like cricket and baseball is not popular in Africa and some European countries unlike football which normally generates global audiences.

Popular I agreed to some extent. But when it comes to best athletes of all time in all sports combined. Then I'll put three in number ONE.

LIONEL MESSI, MICHAEL JORDAN and BABE RUTH

Males largely. There's Billy Jean, No Billy Jean then the list is completely incomplete. Check my signature for free stuffs!

Most people outside America do not know those names.

The bulk of the athletes that made the list are only popular in America.

This guy must be smoking something. Lebron James more popular than Ronaldo in which world?

Idoko619:
CR7 should appear twice

For what?? For scoring 0 goals in the knockout stage of the greatest Football tournament

Muhammad Ali and Usain bolt should be among the top four.

Where is Tiger woods?

Rubbish source, rubbish list.
Due to the evolution of technology and social media, current stars are more popular than their predecessors...
1. Ronaldo
2. Messi
3. Others
