Bradman, yes, has any other sportsman ever been so far ahead of anyone else? Average nearly 100; next best 60 or so. That's just astonishing.
Not sure that Nicklaus will stay ahead of Tiger Woods.
I don't actually like Pete Sampras much but he delivered the goods in his day.

Jack Nicklaus would always be in my list. The question was about Sportsmen, which incorporates sportsmanship as well as technical ability. You won't find a better ambassador for any sport than Nicklaus. If you came home and switched on the TV just in time to see the prizegiving you wouldn't know from his demeanour whether he'd won or came last. No throwing rattles out out of the pram. And, on the subject of ability, he's still the major record holder, so Tiger may have to wait. Others on my list would be Beckenbaur, Schumacher, Borg and JPR.
