The most popular, regarding the lack of wisdom, is the idea that Taylor Swift was suggested to be in this list.


Selah.

MJ till tomorrow...

Michael Jackson.

Even Gen Alpha can't deny they don't know the man, the legend.

Michael Jacksonbro

Pls remove Taylor Swift from the list.

MJ, Muhammed Ali, Ronaldo, Messi and Mahatma Ghandi.... In that order

FreeStuffsNG:
The one in the centre and for obvious reasons.
Michael Jackson. Next is Muhammed Ali. Both have the advantage of fame and Christian/muslim venerable and easy names to recall

You must be joking with the name Messi and Ronaldo then.

Mandela

Kaido:
How tf did Taylor Swift's name got in there

Beats my imagination too, somebody I don't know nor can sing any of her song

You children are weird. You watch only soccer. Messi and Ronaldo will be famous to you. People who watch basketball would insert Kobe Bryant and Shaq. People who watch tennis would insert Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic. MMA fans will insert Conor Mcgregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. The list goes on.

The most famous person in that picture is everyone selected.

Majority of us who watch soccer also knows those names from the other sports you mentioned.
Djokovic despite winning more grand slams doesn't have the fame of Roger Federa in Tennis.
Don't begrudge Ronaldo and Messi their rights. It's not their fault their sports is the most popular sports in the world.

THE GOAT RONALDO

aremubabs:
I don't accept your conclusion.

First of all, it is almost impossible for a human being to only watch one thing.

You may watch a lot of one thing more than another, but it is impossible to think that you don't watch other things.

For example, a person may watch a lot of soccer, but it doesn't mean he watches only soccer.

So, a person who watches a lot of football, may still consider Jackie Chan more famous than Messi or Ronaldo.

Same thing I said to him. And in as much apart from soccer I still watch or know other sports, it's no fault of Messi and Ronaldo that their sports is the most popular in the world which also gave them the fame

"Context matters "
And it depends on the generation you are discussing about. They are all famous from my perspective.

Remove that babe, nobody knows her in Nigeria.

Remove Mandela, his fame wasn't wide.

Remove Ghandi, most Nigerians that aren't educated or read wide wont know him

So, the battle is among the remaining strong men standing.

Please who are these?

You mean an uneducated fellow in Nigeria notwithstanding his generation would know that babe and Ghandi ?

Bro, think again

eepeepook:
In America, many white people watch only their version of football. In India, many people know only cricket. They don’t care about other sports. In Nigeria sef, some people will watch nothing else but soccer.

These are the major sports worldwide.
Soccer/football
Basketball
Tennis
Boxing
Atletics/track and field
Swimming
Rugby
Cricket e.t.c!
There's only two among them that no country of the world doesn't know about or participate in.
Your guess is as good as mine

Na MJ...leave am!

Who's this Taylor Swift sef that I don't know any of her song that people always attached to most famous people

Jackson!

With the behavior of South Africa against fellow Africans, kindly take out Nelson Mandela

Apart from Jesus Ànd Mohammed. No known human has been more famous than Michael Jackson

Without sentiments, MJ of all time and Cr7 most famous alive. Unless if we want to look at most famous dead and alive, then MJ /Cr7 tops the list. Numbers don't lie. Look at the crowd and music sales of MJ when he was alive and look at the crowd physically and on social media now with Cr7. I mean, he's the only one with a staggering over a billion followers across social media. All in the picture are well famous but these 2 must be distinguished when it comes to fame unapologetically

Judging by the word famous, it's Michael Jackson hands down.

My brother GOAT Lionel Messi play in the MLS he is more popular in the U.S that is why Stadium are getting packed both home and away whenever his team play. He have even single handedly carried the MLS ranking to top 10 currently from below 20th, just one player and name did it.



May God help us
