Maradona never stops giving us stuff to write about. He’s like the Latino version of Lindsay Lohan (except extremely talented in a God-like way, mind you); from rehab to tax evasion, Diego is the kind of guy bloggers like to have around. This weekend was not different, as we received word that Maradona is now considered a fugitive by Argentina authorities for failing to appear in court 5 times for a hearing.

The reason for the hearing is even better: according to Argentina’s La Opinión Digital, Maradona ran his car up onto a sidewalk, hit a phone booth, injuring a young couple, then fled the scene. It’s reported that La mano de Dios might be apprehended by police when he returns from Colombia where he is undergoing “cosmetic dental surgery”.

Chuck Norris would have to get a mention wouldn't he?  Oh, I nearly forgot to mention Arnold Schwarzenegger too, surely he'd be up there as one of the most recognised?

Roy Keane would get his ass handed to him by a lot of other footballers. VJ and Eric Cantona come to mind.

Ali though I would place at the top, with Woods and Pele close behind.

I guess you could class Ahnuld as an athlete, but his fame will easily stem more from his acting than when he was doing the bodybuilding.

This is like impossible to say. Every generation has a new 'great' and you can't really compare them.

Also there is no sport that transcends geography, most countries are really into one or two and completely ignorant about the rest.

Globally Michael Jordan is bigger than David Beckham. I am quite sure of that. As is Pele.
Although Pele is arguable, there is no way Michael Jordan is more recognisable than David Beckham.  As others have said, Basketball just isn't popular enough globally.  If you showed everyone in the world a photograph of each, I'm certain more would recognise Beckham over Jordan.

Tiger Woods is a good shout though.
Maybe less so now, but certainly 10 years ago Jordan would definitely be globally recognised. You need to think outside the UK for a minute.
Basketball is actually very popular outside the UK. The Brits have never been good at it, so they never cared for it much.

You got China ( HUGE fan base, bigger than their love for football ), Russia, Germany, Greece and Spain. All crazy about basketball. Oh, and the serbs.

There are more Chinese people alone that know about Michael Jordan than people in Europe that know about Beckham.

You really aren't thinking outside the UK. Basketball never got here, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist elsewhere.

As a PURE athlete, Jordan is more recognised. As a TV star, it's David. But we are talking about athletes.

I'd say Jordan can also be considered a TV star etc.. infact moreso than Beckham. Guy's been the main character in a feature length film with the likes of Bugs Bunny, can't get more global than that
