Kostya Tzu. He is the best boxer in the world. The only boxer to hold all three world championship belts simultaneously. So he has every right to go around telling everyone how great he is but he doesnt. He is heaps humble about his accomplishments. He will come out of a fight with a guy who he just pulverised and say something like "He got some good hits in and I got some good hits in but I just came out on top". He could get a lot more money if he shot off his mouth more but he doesnt and I respect that. He is a humble hero.
Purely on sporting accomplishments you cant go past Sir Don Bradman. He is soo far ahead of anyone else in the history of the world its not funny. Considering the worlds best batsmen average mid 50's, maybe even low 60's, consistently and then the Don has 99.94 is amazing. A few years ago there was this study that compared the gods in each sport. So you have a comparrison between Micheal Jordan, Wayne Gretsky, and Pele etc in terms of sporting accomplishment. The Don came out ahead by a mile. Every single one of the top batsmen in the world acknowledges his godlike superiority. How often can you say that about a person?
