Yeah I was reading current as well.
In 2008
Tiger Woods made an estimated 127.9 million, the 2nd on that list made 62.3million, be interesting to see if people could guess who was 2nd?

There is a difference between most dominant and biggest/greatest.
Ali is in my opinion the greatest - he is the most recognisable, most entertaining, most intelligent, most charismatic sportsman ever, who not only defined his generation, he had a profound impact on both boxing and history in general. But he certainly wasnt the most dominant, he got beat quite a few times and had to resort to playing silly buggers to beat Henry Cooper.
Now Roy Jones, in his prime, was unbeatable. He had speed, power, flair and ringcraft. But he never had any tough career defining fights, was in an uncompetative division during his reign, was barely known outside the states and had a huge question marks over his career with the steroid scandal that managed to get swept under the carpet. By no means the greatest (plus he never fought Collins/Benn/Eubank the wuss).
Usain Bolt is perhaps the most dominant and recognisable sportsman right now btw, include him.
Oh and Hellmuth obv, he has some bracelets n that
Edit: Dont forget Triple H either
