No. Almost every boxing expert has Robinson ahead of him. Ali is much too high on this list.

Another fan believes that Roger Federer should be included on the list. And that Ali should be the number one athlete.
Federer in there for me. Ali at number 1.

Some fans believe that Muhammad Ali should be at the top of the list, as he transcended the sport and was a critical part of American culture and politics. One fan tweeted that they believed that he was one of the top 3 greatest worldwide.
So typical of the US punditry that only US sportspeople are considered the greatest of all time.
Brady plays in a sport only played in the US.
Williams is not even in the top three female tennis players.
Ali, probably is one of the top 3 greatest.

However, some fans claimed that the list was biased toward American athletes. They claimed it only considered athletes from American sports. One of them also questioned the position of two athletes on the list.
Unsurprising list from a country that has sports with a 'World Series' but doesn't invite participants from the rest of the world.
